Fisher Phillips Atlanta Office Renovation: A DIRTT-Powered Architectural Transformation

As one of the nation's leading law firms, Fisher Phillips needed a workplace that could support its people, clients, and continued growth while meeting an aggressive project schedule. The firm's Atlanta office renovation required more than aesthetic improvements. It needed a complete architectural solution that would enhance functionality while minimizing disruption to daily operations. With only four months available to complete the project, Fisher Phillips needed a strategy that would deliver speed, accuracy, and long-term value.

Renovating a 20,409-square-foot office environment is a complex undertaking under any circumstances. Completing it within four months presented an even greater challenge. What began as a request for office glass fronts quickly expanded into a comprehensive architectural renovation that included demising walls, glass fronts and doors, media walls, millwork integration, and technology coordination. At the same time, the project team needed to maintain schedule certainty and minimize opportunities for costly field errors.

Traditional construction methods would have made it difficult to meet the compressed timeline. Fisher Phillips needed a solution that could accelerate delivery while maintaining the quality and functionality expected of a premier law firm. Corporate Environments stepped in as the trusted partner, helping Fisher Phillips navigate a complex renovation with confidence.

Working alongside ASD, the CE Architectural team developed a comprehensive architectural strategy centered around DIRTT's prefabricated construction methodology. By utilizing off-site manufactured architectural solutions, the team was able to streamline installation, improve accuracy, and significantly reduce construction timelines compared to traditional approaches.

To further support the fast-track schedule, the entire project was ordered using "Hold To" dimensions, minimizing the potential for field discrepancies and ensuring greater installation efficiency.

Throughout the project, Corporate Environments served as a single point of accountability, coordinating with contractors, technology partners, and client  to maintain alignment and keep the project on schedule. The result was a highly organized, efficient process that transformed a challenging timeline into an achievable goal.

ASD played a critical role in helping bring the project vision to life. Working closely with Corporate Environments throughout design and implementation, ASD helped create a solution that balanced design intent, performance requirements, and schedule demands. The collaboration fostered innovative problem-solving and allowed the project team to respond quickly as the scope evolved.

Together, ASD and Corporate Environments developed an architectural environment that met the firm's needs while overcoming the challenges of a compressed construction schedule. The completed renovation delivered measurable business value beyond the physical space itself.

By leveraging DIRTT's industrialized construction approach, Fisher Phillips was able to occupy its newly renovated office immediately upon project completion. The accelerated timeline reduced disruption to employees, minimized downtime, and enabled the firm to begin realizing the benefits of its investment sooner than would have been possible through traditional construction methods.

After experiencing the speed, predictability, and efficiency of the DIRTT-based approach, Fisher Phillips expanded the model to 10 additional office locations across the country. What began as a single renovation evolved into a scalable national workplace strategy, creating consistency across locations while delivering the same operational advantages.

WHY DIRTT MATTERED

Meeting a four-month renovation timeline required more than effective project management—it required a different approach to construction. DIRTT's prefabricated architectural system enabled the project team to accelerate installation, improve accuracy, and reduce uncertainty throughout the construction process. By shifting key elements of construction off-site and into a controlled manufacturing environment, the team was able to deliver a faster, more predictable outcome.

Combined with Corporate Environments' architectural expertise and ASD's design leadership, DIRTT helped transform a complex renovation into a repeatable solution that could be deployed across multiple locations.
