Real World – Television Production Set

When MTV’s “The Real World”, descended on Washington for its 23rd season, it chose our firm to build out the site of the series. The project required us to build out 4800+ square feet of interior space in a 9000 square foot historic DuPont Circle historic townhouse. The new space served dual purpose of set and temporary residence for eight raucous, 20 something men and women.

When the Bunnim Murray Production Company approached us to bid on the project, they had produced only the most rudimentary and schematic design drawings. In fact, design continued all the way to the end of construction, a period of just 9 weeks. This project turns the idea of design build inside out; an appropriate label might be build/design. While we have received and improvised on half baked plans from architects, this project raised the bar to a new level.

How long does a typical Entertainment project last?

While each project is unique, there are some typical times to expect for your general design and construction schedule.

Initial Design Review

2 - 4 Months

Next, our designers will ask about your overall goals for the home, including whether the renovation will cover both the interior and exterior. They will also inquire about your preferences for an open plan, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms needed, and if new windows and doors are required.

Permitting and Approvals

2 - 4 Months

As you finalize selections, our designer will be creating construction drawings to submit for a building permit. In D.C., the submission and approval process can take several months (it is a little shorter in Maryland and Virginia).

Construction ( Typical )

3 - 8 Months

Once we secure the permit, we will start demolition and move into framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall etc. The punch list of small items is the last segment. The timeline to completion depends on structural complexity and if an addition is involved. After that, you will be enjoying your beautifully renovated home.

Total Project Time : 7-16

7 - 16 Months
