Tennessee Governor's Residence
This was an exciting project for PBG since it involved the restoration of the existing Governor’s Residence. The work included major repairs and improvements to the infrastructure. We also updated antiquated mechanical and electrical systems, which placed many pieces of Tennessee art and 18th century furnishings at risk. In addition, the facility is being brought into compliance with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) regulation, since it was currently inaccessible to those with disabilities.
We hand excavated approximately 400 cubic yards of earth to make space for the new mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems. The exterior masonry was cleaned and repaired to restored their original appearance and integrity. All windows were either restored or completely rebuilt to match originals. Interior finishes are being reworked, with special attention to maintaining the historical value of the building.
PBG Builders was chosen to complete the restoration and preservation of the Tennessee Governor's Residence through the state’s new Quality in Construction qualifications-based selection process, where price is a factor, but not the primary selection criteria. All renovations are being conducted in accordance with LEED Gold standards.
“It’s been a pleasure working with PBG on the restorations to the Tennessee Residence. They are always on top of things and it makes the project run smoothly.”
