VOCOMOTION New Studio Construction Diary

If You Build It, They Will Come…But WHO Will Build It??

I’m still in search of a contractor to build the studio. The designs are done, I’m ready to order all the acoustic materials, but still don’t have an actual contractor. I’m waiting on two different General Contractors that are supposed to get me bids. One company, has not gotten back to me at all. Another company, has had four framers look at the plans and turn it down, saying it’s too complicated for them. They have another framer that looked at the space yesterday so we can get moving already. This last framer has built studios before, so, hopefully, they won’t puss out like the others did.

I did get the full list of acoustic materials we’re going to need the other day from the architect. That’s a great thing they do, since most contractors have no idea where to get “limp mass barrier” or IsoMax clips for the walls. This way, WSDG orders all the materials and has them sent right to the site. Some of the items have a lead-time of 8-10weeks, so we have to get these orders in right away.
