785 Dive is a new entertainment venue in Manhattan. The owner, Skyler, had a clear vision and a team of subs already assembled. What she needed was someone she could trust to keep the project on track, so re:done stepped in to manage subs, source materials, and track budget, making sure the vision held together as the work progressed. re:done essentially served as owner’s representative for the build.
That’s a different engagement than a typical construction contract. It demands the same discipline, accountability, and site knowledge, but the deliverable is protection of the owner’s interests rather than a defined scope of work. re:done managed the project from first framing through final inspection at a total cost of roughly $1.1–1.2 million across 3,000 square feet.
re:done also fabricated 2 pieces directly: the bar archway, a structural element that houses the soda lines and anchors the bar visually, and the exterior signage. Both were custom-built in-house.
