What We Achieved

The NYCSCA HS 615 Chelsea Vocational High School project was an award-winning endeavor for B&B Sheet Metal, showcasing their commitment to quality and craftsmanship. One of the highlights of this project was the meticulous duplication of the old cornice that dates back over 100 years, utilizing some of the same techniques that were employed when B&B’s sheet metal family was first established in New York City. This historical connection added significant value to the work, preserving the building’s architectural heritage while integrating modern quality standards.

The execution of this project was marked by excellent organization and communication, as the architect emphasized the importance of detailed shop drawings and full-sized mockups to illustrate every aspect of the design prior to installation. This thorough approach ensured that all elements were precisely aligned with the architectural vision. B&B Sheet Metal embraced this focus on detail, and their dedication to craftsmanship is evident in the final result, which not only meets but exceeds expectations, beautifully blending the old with the new in a way that respects the building’s history while enhancing its functionality and aesthetic appeal.
