Pushing Mass Timber Construction Further: Managing Complex Geometry

October 1, 2026 – Mass timber is making increasingly ambitious architectural forms possible, from curved and angled structures to highly complex geometries. Turning those designs into reality requires extensive coordination and precision from design through installation. With major structural components prefabricated off site, every connection and penetration has to be resolved before fabrication begins.… More >

Design-Assist Delivery: Prefabricated Unitized Curtain Wall

September 22, 2026 – At Northeastern University’s Portland campus, home to the Roux Institute, Alfond Center, the building’s radiused footprint, 14-degree slope and prominent cantilever created a highly complex custom unitized curtain wall system comprising 1,472 prefabricated units. Because of the building’s curved geometry and cantilevered design, every curtain wall panel was uniquely engineered… More >

Reclaiming Hackley School’s Old Oak for Lasting Campus Use

September 3, 2026 – When Hackley School’s Old Oak, a century-old campus landmark, was damaged during Tropical Storm Isaias, the school saw an opportunity to carry its legacy forward. During construction of the Allen Center for the Creative Arts and Technology, Consigli partnered with the school to keep the Old Oak’s wood part of… More >

3D Modeling to Enable Complex Underground Infrastructure

August 3, 2026 – Before guests can experience Pomeroy Lodging’s future Yora Nordic Spa, an intricate underground web of infrastructure has to take shape beneath the surface of the historic quarry. Advanced 3D underground modeling is enabling the Consigli team to coordinate thousands of feet of specialized piping serving pools, cold plunges, saunas, steam… More >

Gantry Crane Installation for Manufacturing

June 22, 2026 – At the University of Maine’s GEM Factory of the Future, Consigli installed three 41,000 lb. overhead bridge cranes to support the facility’s future Industry 4.0 manufacturing, including AI enabled large scale additive, subtractive and hybrid digital processes. Each crane required highly precise installation, with rail alignment tolerances limited to roughly… More >

How Precast Concrete Accelerates Construction

April 27, 2026 – The precast concrete installation at the Life Time project in Parsippany, NJ required extensive, early planning to efficiently set the large structural elements on site. Supported by detailed Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) coordination, each precast piece was fabricated off-site to be fully prepared for installation. Once delivered to site,… More >

Managing Structural Complexity in a Mass Timber System

April 6, 2026 – The mass timber structure at Northeastern University’s Portland campus, home to the Roux Institute, Alfond Center required an advanced level of structural coordination beyond a conventional building layout. Its radiused footprint and prominent exterior cantilever make each floor unique, with no two structural members alike. The mass timber frame ties… More >

Custom Glass Installation at the Lincoln Memorial Undercroft

January 28, 2026 – The modernization of the Lincoln Memorial Undercroft showcases a landmark achievement in historic preservation and architectural innovation. Faced with humidity and strict preservation requirements, the team installed a custom structural glass wall system with embedded heating to prevent condensation, protect historic materials and enable digital projections onto the Undercroft’s original… More >

Scaling Circular Construction: Turning Waste into Opportunity

December 8, 2025 – Consigli is leading the way in sustainable construction by embedding circular economy principles into every project, reducing waste and maximizing reuse. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, more than 75% of construction and demolition waste could be reused, repurposed or recycled, yet most of it ends up in landfills.… More >

Retrofitting Aging Buildings for Energy Efficiency

August 15, 2025 – Energy efficiency challenges start small: A draft in the hallway; a heating complaint in the winter; a spike in the utility bill. Over time, these small challenges grow into large budget overruns, declining occupant comfort and system failures. But aging buildings—from city halls and libraries to hospitals, office buildings and… More >
