Project Overview

Disciplined execution for multifamily owners and operators

Summary

Vedomi Construction supported ownership with a renovation scope designed to improve unit appeal, address exterior repairs,
and enhance long-term durability. Interior work was completed as units became vacant, keeping operations intact while
steadily improving market readiness.


The program paired finish upgrades with system-level improvements—most notably replacing Zinsco electrical panels,
a known fire hazard. This upgrade improves property safety and reduces risk, supporting long-term value and lender confidence.

Safety Upgrade

Zinsco Panel Replacement

Replacing Zinsco panels mitigates a recognized fire hazard and strengthens asset safety, insurability, and long-term value.

Value Creation

1/1 → 2/1 Conversions

Converting select one-bedroom layouts to two-bedroom configurations supports higher rent potential, increasing NOI and
overall property valuation.

Execution Strategy

Built around operations and predictable delivery

Vacant-Unit Renovation Workflow

Upgrades were completed as units became available, enabling consistent scheduling, clean trade sequencing,
and reliable quality control without disrupting residents.

  • Turn-based scheduling aligned with property management
  • Repeatable finish standards for consistent delivery
  • Trade coordination for efficient cycle times

CapEx + System Coordination

Exterior repairs and system improvements were managed alongside interior turns to keep the program moving forward.
High-impact upgrades—like electrical panel replacements—were coordinated to reduce rework and support predictable delivery.

  • Foundation and masonry repair coordination
  • Exterior paint improvements for curb appeal
  • Zinsco panel replacement planning and execution
  • Concrete and paving repairs for safety and presentation
