Lanham Building croppedThe U.S. General Services Administration has awarded Procon a contract to provide construction management services for renovations to the Fritz Lanham Federal Office Building in Fort Worth, Texas. The Design-Build project will include the replacement of all sanitary sewer waste and vent stacks and laterals, replacement of existing sprinkler piping, and renovation of restrooms. The 770,000 GSF building which houses multiple federal tenants including Social Security, The Army Corps of Engineers, and the IRS, will remain occupied during the project. Completed in 1966, the building has 14 floors and underground parking.

The Procon team in Forth Worth will provide comprehensive construction management during all phases of the project.
