THE CAROLINAS
We’re a fun-loving group of relationship enthusiasts who genuinely love what we do.
Barringer was founded on a shared desire to revive a diminishing approach to construction services – one where handshakes still hold great value, people are put first, and the act of building something is revered as a craft, not a commodity.

First-generation buildout to create modern, high-end workspace for KPMG’s new Charlotte headquarters
Located on floors 9 and 10 of the new Bank of America Legacy Union building in Uptown Charlotte, this buildout included all new private and semi-private offices, workstations, conferencing and collaboration areas, high-end reception/lobby area, and a new state-of-the-art cafe. High-end and unique finishes were used throughout the space, including specialty custom wood paneled ceilings.
With over 30 floors under construction in the Legacy Union building at the same time and only one freight elevator and remote building dock, logistics proved to be a challenge throughout. Deliveries and transportation of materials were set on a strict schedule and materials were craned to the floor as needed.
Working against the clock
With a strict completion date, this project allowed for little to no room for error or delays. Extensive work was done to create in-depth, well thought-out schedules to accommodate the strict timeline. This, along with a collaborative approach amongst all project partners, allowed this space to be completed on time despite the logistical challenges.

A reflection of of the company’s evolving needs, this key strategic move aligns with a growing trend in the law firm industry to ditch the closed, formal offices in favor of modern spaces with multiple purposes, promoting an open community environment. Alston and Bird’s new innovative design is a blend of indoor and outdoor workspace and provides direct access to the energy and amenities of South End, enhancing the quality of the time spent at work, improving productivity and helping the firm retain and attract the best talent.
Ensuring minimal disruptions with a challenging design
The high-end finishes created unique challenges during installation. The monumental stair required ample installation of supporting members, as well as additional shoring and bracing. Early coordination was also required for the abstract ceiling to ensure that all mechanical, sprinkler, and electrical components were accounted for and worked in to the design. Additionally, this work was completed with tenants both above and below the active floors. To ensure no disruptions, noisy work was completed both on weekends and after-hours.

A full-floor office build-out for Wells Fargo Wealth Management group Allspring, this first-generation space includes a mix of private offices, multiple collaboration spaces including conference rooms, 4-6 person flex spaces and lounge areas, an area to host public forums, and a green room. This new office space is an opportunity to debut its reimagined approach to the way its employees work. Featuring bright, modern design features, custom lighting, and relaxing collaboration and gathering areas including an outdoor work space, the design of this office was intentional to promote employee engagement, flexibility, and wellness.
Early involvement for maximum benefits
This project’s “hand-in-glove” preconstruction approach allowed for an additional lens during the design phase, resulting in additional opportunities to mitigate risks to the schedule through early procurement and bring VE options to the table.

NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY FOR HEALTH SCIENCES
Expanding hands-on, experiential learning opportunities for nursing students in the booming South End neighborhood
In 2022, Northeastern University, a private research university, expanded its Charlotte footprint to the booming South End neighborhood to create a new, state-of-the-art facility for its Nursing Program students. This 40,000-square-foot, first-generation upfit across 1.5 floors at The Line is designed to attract students by promoting student engagement and providing hands-on learning opportunities.
Not your average university
This high-end space is not only unique in its design with curved classroom fronts, a rooftop patio, and a showstopping monumental stair; it also provides several unique learning environments for students. Medical simulation labs with interactive ‘dummies’ allow students to engage in real-life patient treatment situations. Patient rooms with oneway glass let instructors monitor and provide feedback on simulated patient interactions, while high-tech classrooms and collaboration spaces encourage student-employee interaction. All these design elements help to further the school’s experience-powered approach.

GRANT THORNTON OFFICE RELOCATION
Making a bold move to redefine the concept of a corporate office environment
When looking for a new office space that would better suit its evolving workplace standard, Grant Thornton made a bold move: relocate from its longtime space in Uptown Charlotte in favor of becoming one of the first tenants to occupy the newly developed Vantage Towers in South End, an area with greater access to amenities for its employees to balance work and life more easily.
Encompassing over 31,000 square feet, this full-floor interior upfit for Grant Thornton Charlotte is a first-of-its-kind design for the company, deploying the next iteration of their fast-advancing workplace standard.
Where corporate meets cool
With features that include a mix of community desks and private offices, conference rooms of various sizes, sound-proof telephone booths and a café and coffee bar, this office was designed for a new way of working, truly embodying the company’s ‘Where Corporate Meets Cool’ workplace vision.

A transformational journey to unite a company’s workforce
Previously scattered across a disparate group of buildings in a suburban office park, RoundPoint embarked on a transformational journey to consolidate all Carolina employees into a single location. In May of 2019, RoundPoint Mortgage relocated its headquarters into a new unified office. They sought to create a space that mirrored their attitude –unique, innovative and collaborative – and a place that reflected their culture, paid homage to their disruptive legacy and allowed their “all in, all win” mantra and competitive spirits to flourish. What transpired was a three-floor, 150,000 square foot, build-to-suit office space that provides a place for work, fun and pioneering to happen.
Identifying cost impacts early
The entire project team began collaborating early in the process to detect cost-saving opportunities. Through this early engagement, we were able to identify potential issues during the SD and DD drawing phases that helped deliver a cost savings of 20% to the client upon completion.

The RoundPoint Mortgage project is a true representation of what can be accomplished when all parties buy in to achieve a main objective….the project team did an incredible job of tuning into the client’s needs and bringing that culture to life through the space. I have no doubt that this space will help RoundPoint produce innovation and talent and for years to come.
