PROJECT CASE STUDY
The Juice House
The Juice House project involved the delivery of a fast-paced, detail-driven commercial fit-out for a growing food and beverage brand preparing to open on a compressed timeline. With tight schedule constraints and forward-facing design requirements, Construction Operations Group was engaged to provide clear leadership, disciplined execution, and hands-on construction management from concept through opening.
COG served as a strategic partner throughout planning and construction, helping align design intent, operational needs, and field execution to ensure a smooth path from concept to opening.

The Challenge
The Juice House required delivery within a highly compressed schedule while operating within a tight commercial footprint. From permitting through final inspections, the project demanded careful coordination to keep pace with the client’s opening goals.
Key challenges included managing regulatory approvals, coordinating multiple trades within limited space, and maintaining momentum without compromising quality. With little room for delays, the project required proactive oversight and disciplined planning to ensure progress remained aligned with the overall timeline.
COG’s Approach
COG focused on structure, clarity, and proactive coordination from the outset. Early planning emphasized realistic milestones, clear communication channels, and disciplined sequencing of work to support the accelerated schedule.
By maintaining close coordination with designers, trades, and inspectors, COG ensured that issues were addressed quickly and decisions were made with full visibility into schedule and operational impacts. This hands-on leadership helped minimize disruption, reduce uncertainty, and keep all stakeholders aligned as the project moved from construction through closeout.
The Outcome
The Juice House was delivered on schedule and opened fully operational, meeting both design and functional goals. Through focused planning, hands-on leadership, and consistent communication, COG helped the client move confidently from build-out to opening day.
The completed space balances aesthetics with function and was delivered in a manner that supported long-term success. The project stands as an example of how disciplined construction management and clear operational oversight can drive predictability, quality, and successful outcomes under schedule pressure.
