Reston Chamber member K3 Construction Group has partnered with the GRCC to offer a FREE 1 year GRCC membership to any new or existing member that contracts with K3 on a commercial construction project.  Qualifying projects include:  Tenant fit-outs, new construction, and renovations to existing buildings.

In direct response to the recent escalation in fuel costs, effective the week of June 16, 2008, K3 Construction Group will be changing the hours that its office locations are open to Monday through Thursday, 7:30 am to 5:30 pm.

The staff will still be accessible on Friday as a typical work day, but the intent is for them to work from their homes and not travel to the office.

This action will immediately result in a 20% reduction in fuel consumption, as employees will be telecommuting from their homes on Fridays.

Not only will this improve the quality of life for its employees, it will also reduce the total number of commuters on the road.

This change in schedule is being implemented on a trial basis this summer, and is intended to be in effect through August 30, 2008.

"We encourage all businesses to follow us in taking action in response to fuel costs that are choking our economy," said Jeff Martello, president of K3. "We will explore options with all of our clients to ensure that their construction needs are met by this new initiative. For some it will work, for others it may not. So far, response has been positive! In all cases, we are committed to providing the same level of professionalism with quality and timely service that K3 Construction Group has been known for!"

K3 is proud to have been a partner with WTOP and Burt, Hill in the creation of the Glass Enclosed Nerve Center.  This $2.5 million renovation was completed while the station was fully operational and broadcasting.  The newsroom is now the largest in the country.

K3 Construction Group is excited to announce that it has completed the build-out of the American Sociological Association's new headquarters location at 1430 K Street, NW Washington, DC.   The association purchased two floors in the recently constructed building in June of 2007. The project was financed through the issuance of $8,000,000 in District of Columbia variable rate tax exempt revenue bonds.  The bonds have a maturity of 30 years and were obtained through the District with aLetter of Credit provided by PNC Bank.  "The association’s leadership and its 14,000 members are proud to partner with the District and PNC Bank to keep our national headquarters in the Nation’s Capital," said Dr. Sally T. Hillsman, Executive Officer of the American Sociological Association (ASA). "With this new permanent home in D.C., ASA will continue to pursue its century-long history of advancing sociology as a scientific discipline and profession serving the public good, representing sociologists working across all sectors to promote the field's contributions and uses to society." The elevator lobby features acrylic wall panels trimmed in stainless steel, and a connecting stair with stainless steel rails and walnut paneling.  In addition to offices, the space features large conference rooms for association meetings, and a state-of-the-art publication production facility. Jeff Martello, president of K3, said, "We're proud to add this prestigious association to our list of satisfied clients.  What made this negotiated project such a success was the collaborative effort between ASA, OTJ Architects and our project team.  This approach enabled this project to be delivered early -- it was a great project from beginning to end."
