When Virginia contractors Southern Air Inc. and Kirby-Vass Insulation Inc. joined the project team for the construction of the expansive Greenbrier Casino Club, an addition to the historic, luxurious Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., they knew they would be put to the test.
The Greenbrier’s new owner, Justice Family Group LLC, had commissioned the $80 million, 103,000-square-foot casino to be built as the showpiece in a series of improvements to the legendary luxury resort. The biggest challenge was having only eight months to complete the entire project. The casino needed to be finished in time for the inaugural Professional Golfers Association of America (PGA) Greenbrier Classic tournament. This set a grueling pace and required several different contractors to work simultaneously alongside each other.
