The Netflix Studios project is a prime example of CMRichey’s ability to deliver high-level technical performance, coordination, and adaptability on a complex, large-scale build. This 177,000-square-foot production facility—featuring six state-of-the-art sound stages—was constructed within a mix of existing core and shell spaces and new construction. The electrical scope included three new Con Edison electrical services with associated distribution, emergency power, mechanical and general power, specialty lighting installations, and a design-build Mircom-manufactured fire alarm system provided by CMRichey.
As a flagship production site, the facility presented unique challenges. Massive power demands required the installation of multiple services and layered redundancies within a constrained footprint. Wide-span, high-ceiling industrial stages were juxtaposed with tightly configured, highly finished office areas, editing suites, recording booths, and amenity spaces across multiple floors. Additional complications arose from ground quality improvements—rare for New York City projects—that introduced outdoor coordination elements typically not encountered.
Flexibility was critical to the project’s success.
Already complex logistical and scheduling demands were compounded by COVID-related shutdowns, safety protocol overhauls, and shifting timelines. Despite these hurdles, the project’s delivery schedule remained fixed. CMRichey met the challenge by deploying alternating day and night crews to maintain progress—requiring constant internal coordination across project teams and strategic resource allocation between this and other ongoing work.
Beyond technical execution, CMRichey leveraged years of project management experience, field intuition, and emerging labor forecasting tools to maintain productivity. Daily planning, real-time responsiveness, and collaboration with the general contractor, developer, and other trades were essential to meeting client expectations.
The Netflix Studios project stands as a high-profile, highly technical achievement—delivered on time and on budget. CMRichey’s performance was recognized with the ABC Empire State 2023 Construction Excellence Award, underscoring the team’s ability to deliver under pressure while maintaining the highest standards of quality and coordination.
This 39,000-square-foot medical oncology and infusion center in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn is a joint comprehensive cancer care facility developed by New York Cancer & Blood Specialists and Memorial Sloan Kettering. CMRichey’s scope included a new 4,000 Amp Con Edison electrical service, switchgear, lighting fixtures, general power, and a full design-build fire alarm system.
To support the aggressive schedule, CMRichey provided critical pre-purchase services for service and distribution equipment—securing long-lead items ahead of final construction documents and ensuring timely delivery. CMRichey’s in-house Fire Alarm Division furnished and installed a design-build Mircom-manufactured system, including FDNY submission and approval.
The facility also includes specialized modality rooms for MRI, CT, PET CT, and a Halcyon TrueBeam Linear Accelerator. These areas required technically demanding electrical installations, emphasizing precision and experience. The project was completed on a condensed timeline, further complicated by challenging site conditions within the existing building.

The Uncle Giuseppe’s Market Place project showcases CMRichey’s technical expertise, adaptability, and ability to execute complex grocery builds under aggressive timelines. This 42,500-square-foot specialty grocery store was constructed within an existing core and shell structure and featured a new 2,500 Amp electrical service and distribution system with emergency power provisions, mechanical and general power, specialty lighting, refrigeration power, and a Mircom fire alarm system—designed and delivered by CMRichey.
Grocery projects like this present unique challenges, with multiple overlapping systems—particularly refrigeration—requiring tight coordination and installation in limited space. CMRichey’s experience and collaborative approach were critical, allowing the team to make timely decisions with trade partners and maintain high-quality execution throughout.
Meeting a fixed December deadline to support peak holiday sales was a top priority. Despite the project’s scale and complexity, CMRichey helped compress the schedule from six months to just four—drawing on proven strengths in manpower planning, technical problem-solving, and schedule-driven delivery.
To further support the project’s goals, CMRichey implemented a unique prefabrication strategy: the complete switchgear and distribution system was pre-built in a custom shipping container at CMRichey’s facility. The container was then craned onto the roof for final connections—saving time, labor, and space, while demonstrating advanced planning, engineering, and execution.
In recognition of the exceptional performance on this project, CMRichey received the ABC Empire State 2022 Construction Excellence Award.
This 216,000-square-foot E-Commerce Distribution Facility fit-out, completed within an existing core and shell building, highlights CMRichey’s ability to manage large, technically demanding projects with precision and professionalism. The scope included significant upgrades and expansions to electrical distribution systems, emergency power, mechanical and general power, lighting, specialty system connections, and fire alarm system upgrades.
Projects of this scale bring unique challenges—vast open areas with high ceilings, complex legacy electrical systems, and tight sequencing requirements to accommodate third-party installations. All work was subject to rigorous third-party commissioning, adding another layer of accountability to quality and performance.
To meet these demands, CMRichey employed a planning-first approach that exceeded standard practices. Detailed system layouts—such as feeder racks—were developed well before field installation, enabling seamless coordination. Pre-fabrication was used more extensively than ever before, with components including feeder racks, panel lineups, disconnects, lighting fixtures, and multi-circuit wire bundles assembled off-site. This strategy supported efficient execution, enhanced sequencing, and reinforced the overall project plan.
The project was also a safety milestone. Third-party safety inspections were paired with a proactive issue prevention system that promoted accountability and continuous site improvement. In response to project-specific requirements, CMRichey’s Safety Supervisor earned motorized lift safety training certification. Many safety practices established on this project have since been adopted across the company.
This project stands as a benchmark for CMRichey—demonstrating the power of detailed planning, pre-fabrication, and a disciplined safety culture to deliver smooth execution on complex builds. The success of this project was recognized with the 2024 ABC Empire State Construction Excellence Award.
