Cold Dark Shell Construction Trust BLM Construction and Remodeling to your commercial dark shell project. A dark shell is a building with an unfinished interior and lacking heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC), and usually without lighting, plumbing, ceilings, elevators, or interior walls. A dark shell is ready for vanilla shell and tenant improvements, which are to be completed by the tenant once the lease agreement has been negotiated and executed. This ensures that the landlord does not pay for improvements that are unnecessary or that the tenant does not want.

Vanilla Shell Construction A plain vanilla shell is a blank canvas ready for you to move in and start doing business! BLM Construction & Remodeling, LLC can take a cold dark shell and design the vanilla box that meets your budget. This is the fastest way to fill your space with a tenant because vanilla shell construction allows your tenant to control the construction costs.

We will work with your architect and engineer, or we will use our own, to get your project through permitting to site excavation and from building the shell to creating a white box.

UFC Gym

1160 Park City Center, Lancaster, PA 17601

UFC Gym: BLM Construction & Remodeling was hired to do the vanilla box and tenant build-out for this UFC Gym. We started by demoing four existing stores (a beauty school, Lenscrafters, Men’s Warehouse, and Brenemans Tailoring) to make one, open, 18000 square foot space. We demoed all the walls, demising walls, ceiling, concrete block, demising, plumbing, hvac ductwork, and electric.

Key Challenges: One challenge on this job was determining which walls were weight bearing and which ones were not.

Fun Fact: This is the first Signature UFC Gym (18,000 square foot plus) built in Pennsylvania.

"I had a total bathroom remodel completed by BLM and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Everyone I worked with — from the estimator to the project manager to the designer — was extremely responsive. Jeff, the project manager, did an excellent job of checking in with me, keeping me updated on the status of the project and aware of any issues. He also ensured that everything was perfect upon completion. All of the workers were pleasant and respectful while working in my home. I absolutely love my new bathroom, which was completed sooner and faster than expected. The next time I need anything done, BLM will be my first stop!"

"We had an old stone garage floor redone with a concrete finish. The finished floor is beautiful! Our job manager, Jeff was knowledgeable and professional. Every step of the job from estimate to final finish was clearly communicated and on time. This is the second home remodeling job BLM completed for us, and we will contact them for any and all work we need in the future."

"Outstanding professionalism, honesty, integrity, and communication. Very customer oriented. Excellent online tool (Buildertrend) used to track progress, see project timeline, and make payments quickly and easily. BLM will be first on my list for any future projects where I need this type of service. Thanks Barry and Heidi!!"

"Absolutely thrilled with our garage addition! We couldn't be happier with the work BLM did on our garage addition! From the initial consultation to the final finishing touches, everything was handled with professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. Rob kept us informed every step of the way, with clear explanations and updates. The entire crew was friendly, courteous, and respectful of our property. We highly recommend BLM to anyone considering a home improvement project. They are truly a top-notch company that delivers exceptional results with outstanding customer service."

"We had a side-room with a bathroom remodeled, walls, ceiling, flooring and lights & fixtures. BLM was professional and friendly to work with in all aspects, from estimate to finish. All of the craftsman took the time to complete everything in fine details. We are 100% satisfied with the work, the time-frame, and the cost."

"I want to thank BLM for all of the community outreach they do. I have participated each year when they take holiday donations for Cornerstone Youth Home and Olivia's house. The staff is always pleasant and welcoming, especially Dannie! It's refreshing to see a company that takes such pride in not only their workmanship but also giving back to the community. 10 out of 10 recommend!"

"BLM Construction came highly recommended, and after remodeling our kitchen, hallway, and handicap bathroom, it is clear why. Working with Heidi, Barry, Rob and the team at BLM gave us peace of mind as we completed this large project. They were consistent with their communication and timetable, professional in their demeanor, and thorough in their work. These spaces were transformed from their vintage feel into the most elite rooms in our house, and we are proud to share that the work was done by BLM Construction. We will absolutely be working with them in the future!"

"The BLM crew did a good job of keeping the project progressing and finishing up on time even with some rain days. They worked with us to make adjustments to the design on the fly and worked within our budget. Overall a good experience with the crew from BLM!"

"After searching through numerous contractors we settled on BLM and we are glad we did. We remodeled our entire first floor, requiring removal of load bearing walls and an entire gutting of our home. We lived upstairs during the process and BLM construction was fantastic to work with. Day or night they answered our calls. Dan was our Project Manager and we couldn’t have asked for anyone else better to handle the job. As this large of a project there were bound to be issues and problems that come up but Dan and team were quick to tackle them and really did an incredible job. If you’re looking looking for a great contractor look no further than Barry and team at BLM."

"Just great people to work with. Honest, timely and really know what they are talking about. Especially when it comes to their attention to detail with commercial work. I could not recommend them more highly. You can definitely tell they love what they do. Thank you!"

"Outstanding professionalism, honesty, integrity, and communication. Very customer oriented. Excellent on line tool (Buildertrend) used to track progress, see project timeline, and make payments quickly and easily. BLM will be first on my list for any future projects where I need this type of service. Thanks Barry and Heidi!!"

"This company is top notch. The customer service is second to none, professional team that's always responsive, top tier product, and by far just a friendly company. I would highly recommend BLM for any construction needs."

"Used BLM to remodel our bathroom earlier in the year and was so pleased with the result, we went to them first when considering our full kitchen remodel. Project Manager, Ryan, was very attentive. I had to work with the counter and cabinet vendors myself and BLM did the rest. Came together better than expected!"

"Barry, Ross, and their team did a great job for us on our siding and waterproofing project. It was a complicated job to get access to and a lot of existing conditions to work around. They came prepared with a game plan and made it happen on time and on budget. We will be using them next time for sure!"
