A building in the Nob Hill district of San Francisco, was built right after the Great Quake, long before most of the lessons from that catastrophe had been learned. It needed a lot of work to bring it up to the new “Soft Story” standards.
Agape Construction reinforced the existing walls, and added a new foundation, bolts, hold-downs, and shearwalls in the basement to strengthen the building and give it a new, long life.
All of the work was done without disturbing the existing tenants.
