Deloitte & Touche
With offices at the Penthouse level accessible only by stairs and narrow corridors, the Deloitte & Touche project required considerable coordination and teamwork among subcontractors. Materials had to be brought up on top of the elevator. Structural steel ceiling systems made of perforated metal panels were installed at a height of 20 feet.
Deloitte & Touche desired high quality, unique surroundings for their office building. Unimark excelled at marrying high-end custom finishes with the required utility services. Unimark’s outstanding craftsmanship provided Deloitte & Touche with the style of office they desired.
Magnusson Klemencic
Magnusson Klemencic Associates is one of the largest structural and civil engineering firms in the Puget Sound region. Their Seattle headquarters was designed as a statement of the company's structural ingenuity and creativity. The focal point of the office is a signature staircase that links this dynamic two-floor office.
Unimark artfully created the icon from a combination of structural steel, perforated metal, cable and maple planks with a clear coat finish. Completing the custom staircase within the fully occupied space, Unimark ensured that the company did not skip a beat during the six-week construction schedule.

Truly building green means the reduction of material waste and wasted space. It also means reusing whole elements such as walls and power/data. By utilizing the DIRRT wall system on this 21,000 square foot tenant improvement, UNIMARK Construction Group found out, building green doesn’t mean sacrificing form or function.
UNIMARK Construction Group is fortunate to have an experienced and dynamic Senior Management Team in our New Construction Division. Having teamed together previously on various projects while working for another firm, Mark Darnell—Senior Project Manager, and Dale Fisher—General Superintendent, came together again at UNIMARK, ready to put their experience to work. The following examples highlight some of the more unique work managed, or tasks undertaken, by Mark and Dale prior to joining UNIMARK Construction Group.
John L Scott*
When construction began on this 10,000-square foot building, it was designed for a specific retail tenant. However, the project’s success was placed in jeopardy when the retail tenant did not materialize. Fortunately, the construction team demonstrated tremendous flexibility and worked together with the design team during construction to change the design to office space. The result was an effectively designed and constructed office building for John L Scott Real Estate.
Terra Dynamics*
The project team was faced with designing and building a shop, storage facility and office building from multiple pre-fabricated units that could be expanded and connected at a later date while still maintaining aesthetic enhancements. This was accomplished by working closely with the architect and steel supplier to carefully review the drawings in order to make sure all engineering and dimensioning of exterior roof lines and slabs were correct before commencing the fabrication of sections.
Another demonstration of teamwork occurred when the building owner requested a waterfall feature and recycling pond be constructed in the lobby just prior to obtaining the occupancy permit. This work included saw cutting the slab and installing water and electrical lines in a completed space. A coordinated effort by the whole team ensured the project was completed per original schedule.
Malcolm Drilling*
Malcolm Drilling is known for their expertise in dealing with soil challenges and below grade issues. They recognized the importance of having the right team to manage construction of their new office building, maintenance facility and fabrication shop on a site with unsuitable building soil. They found the team they could trust in Dale Fisher and Mark Darnell. This team worked diligently with Malcolm experts as well as soil engineers to find the most cost-effective process. Over-excavating 10 feet of peat and backfill with structural fill and using Concrete Treated Base (CTB) was the team solution. This not only saved site work costs, but allowed Malcolm to locate their numerous pieces of heavy equipment on-site prior to completion of construction.
*This project was not completed by UNIMARK Construction Group LLC. This discussion is intended to highlight the size and complexity of some of the unique projects with which the specific UNIMARK team members have had experience, and the skill and experience they add to the UNIMARK team.
