Brault discussed the increased concentration on carbon neutrality and sustainability building trends that Consigli Construction Co., Inc. continues to see – particularly in the higher education market – as well as the growing utilization of pre-fabricated elements in projects.

“Incorporating pre-fabricated elements into the design and build process can be both more efficient and more effective, as it also reduces onsite labor needs, which supports lower costs, a higher quality product and ultimately a safer jobsite.”

The City Scoop brief also focused on ongoing work that the Consigli team has in the Mid-Atlantic region, as well as the markets Brault sees continued growth and opportunity.

“The market outlook in D.C. remains  strong with an influx of opportunities  in health care, education, hospitality, museums and cultural and government markets, including many large-scale, complex projects.”

As an expert in historic preservation and project manager on the Meridian Hill Park project, Naomi offered detailed insight into the team’s careful and complex restoration of existing concrete aggregate – a medium of construction pioneered by craftsman J.J. Earley in 1915 – as well as the installation of more than 13,000 square feet of new exposed aggregate paving to match the park’s original finish.

Given that no quarry ever produces the same stone twice, in order to restore the park’s original exposed aggregate, Consigli analyzed the composition of the aggregate’s stones and used that scientific analysis to develop the correct size, color and shape of new stones that were then collected from the field to match the existing materials. This method of preservation employed modern technology while keeping a thoughtful and artistic approach to the park’s restoration.

In addition to showcasing the construction and restoration work, Naomi also shared her professional background and her unique career path as a woman in construction.

“I’ve always loved history and old buildings, and the stories behind places, but I didn’t know about historic preservation when I was growing up. I started as an architecture major in college, then went over to the theater department, and I have a degree in set design. I taught school for a little while, and then I started thinking, what do I really want to do with the rest of my life? And I thought, I want to do something with history and old buildings, so I got my master’s degree in historic preservation, came over to construction management, and I have loved every minute of it.”
