Just Completed: COAC Construction Team finishes install of KrushBurger HVAC System

Posted on October 18, 2012 by Cooper Oates Air Conditioning

The COAC Construction Installation Team just completed the New KrushBurger restaurant HVAC for OTTO Construction. Located in the new California State Lottery Building, this is KrushBurger’s first brick and morter location. A Sacramento success story, KrushBurger is growing steadily with their mobile trucks and will soon begin their stationary restaurant operations.

This unique construction project was a testament to the General Contractor’s skill at coordination and timing to keep all of the sub-contractors efficient and productive. This relatively small restaurant in an existing building, created many challenges due to the confined space and the many subs working at the same time.
