Hyder Construction

HISTORICAL HIGHLIGHT: Hyder’s 1031 Santa Fe Office Remodel We can’t believe is has been five years since we moved into our new office! Not only was it a vast improvement on our old, outdated digs, it’s a frequently showcased project in our historical renovation portfolio. The $5.2 renovation to this historic structure, dating back to 1900, converts a dilapidated and mostly vacant building into a vibrant office and retail space. That facade was preserved during the structure’s renovation, which is actually three separate buildings merged into one. Construction also included carving out a portion of the structure to enlarge the adjacent parking lot. Hyder’s office TI features a natural color palette of greys and tans with accents of red and slate blue. It is a blend of offices and open cubicles, but almost all the office and conference room walls are glass to create a feeling of openness and collaboration throughout. This project was the winner of the 2019 ENR Mountain States Best Project in Renovation/Restoration and a 2019 Mayor’s Design Award.

Last Friday a group of Hyder employees—Matt Huelskamp, Lori Helderlein, Jacob Walters, Matt Johns, Robbie Miller, Scott Miller, Preston Boyd, Brian Archibald, and Ben Johns—participated the 25th Annual Jane-A-Thon, a two day skiing event at Mary Jane / Winter Park that benefits the non-profit Invest in Kids. Invest in Kids raised $358,400 at this year's Jane-A-Thon. The Hyder team was responsible for $16,120 of that total. Lori won the award (a new pair of skis) for most individual donations and Hyder won the award for most funds raised by a "medium" sized team (less than 25 participants). This year, we had twice as many Hyder folks complete the bump challenge – completing all 16 bump runs at Mary Jane (nearly 25,000 vertical feet): Preston, Robbie, Matt H, Matt J, Ben, Brian, Scott, and Jacob. Invest in Kids (IIK) is a local nonprofit organization working to ensure every Colorado child has a strong start in life. IIK works tirelessly to adopt, implement, and scale proven programs that have the greatest long-term impact on young children and families experiencing poverty, working to improve the health and well-being of 14,000 children and families each year.

SAFETY TALK...UNSAFE ACTS Most of us know that accidents are caused by only two things - unsafe acts or unsafe conditions. We also know that 9 out of 10 accidents are usually the result of unsafe acts, or things we choose to do when we know better. This is kind of strange if you think about it, but we have more to fear from our own actions than from any other hazards around us when working. Being comfortable with your job is important, but not so much that you start to leave steps out. There are many reasons that someone may take an unsafe approach to their task while on the job. We should practice the brother's keeper mentality and look out for each other, encouraging one another to always work safely. https://lnkd.in/gGTMKHcP

Please join us in congratulating Matthew Armstrong, AIA on his 10-year anniversary at Hyder! Matt joined us after working at a couple of architectural firms and brought with him a great deal of design and management experience as a job captain. During his time at Hyder, Matt has carried the dual roles of BIM manager and Architect. Matt got his architectural license 6 years ago after a rigorous set of exams and this gave us the ability to pursue true design-build projects. Notable amongst the design-build projects is our current office space, which won the prestigious Mayor’s Design Award. With Matt’s BIM efforts he works on Hyder’s high profile and complex projects by wrangling our subcontractors to effectively coordinate the MEP systems with the structural and architectural elements. This process is often very difficult with the tools the subcontractors bring to the table, but Matt is always a patient quarterback in the effort and pushes for accountability from the trade partners. These BIM efforts reduce issues and rework in the field that save our projects a lot of heartache, time, and money. We are lucky to have Matt on our team and look forward to the future together!

Hyder Construction has been named one of The Best Office Builders in Denver by HomeBuilderDigest.com! Pictured here is the FirstBank Headquarters Expansion in Lakewood. This two-phased project includes a parking garage and office addition. The first phase of the expansion was a new 600-stall precast concrete parking garage behind the office. The second phase is a 126,000 square foot Class A office addition. The project highlights include a top-of-the-line board room, fitness center, rooftop amenity deck, and large courtyard. The new lobby features extensive millwork. The addition is a steel structure with a unitized curtain wall and brick façade. The project is targeting LEED Gold and utilizes state-of-the-art mechanical, electrical, and lighting equipment.

How much do you know about Hyder’s past projects? Periodically we feature past projects to help you learn (or remember!) more about Hyder’s history and the great projects we’ve been a part of. This month we’re featuring the Arapahoe County Eastern Service Center for the 15-year anniversary of its completion! This was our first project for Loyal Customer, Arapahoe County, who we’ve now worked on 14 projects with. A rapid population increase in the Denver Metro area required Arapahoe County to construct a new satellite facility for Road & Bridge Operations and Fleet Maintenance. The design for the new facility included the capability for future expansions. The facility is anchored by a 22,000 square foot maintenance facility for large fleet vehicles and encompasses the office and training facility. In addition, the facility houses a truck wash station, enclosed and covered equipment storage, a fuel island, sand and salt storage, a 250,000 gallon water storage tower and a large storage yard on an 18-acre site.
