Project Description

Xcel Energy is a major U.S. electric and natural gas company.

15,000 sq. ft. of office space
Locker rooms
Restrooms
Conference rooms
Service truck garage and repair bay
Warehouse with 24 overhead doors
Jib cranes
Trench drains

Boldt self-performed the concrete and some rough/finishing carpentry

LEED Features
Boldt provided LEED construction documentation, such as waste management, recycling, HVAC system and renewable materials. Boldt was responsible for understanding the composition of the products purchased on behalf of our customer and collecting the documentation which involved two very important components:

Having accurate and complete documentation for the products
Having product information early on when material purchases can be adjusted to help secure one or more LEED points
