Inside DDB’s Stealth Program: Redefining Occupied Space Renovations
DDB Contracting’s Stealth Program is a specialized construction approach and one of the leading occupied space renovation solutions. It renovates fully occupied properties without disrupting day-to-day operations, enabling owners and operators to complete critical upgrades while maintaining productivity, comfort, and the overall experience of occupants. DDB’s expertise in renovating occupied spaces is highlighted by the company’s recent renovation of Siemens Energy’s lab and office space in Raleigh, NC, a complete interior fit-up project.
Through careful planning and discreet execution, the Stealth Program minimizes the visual, audible, and logistical impacts that construction usually causes in active environments. This approach ensures renovations move forward efficiently while protecting operational continuity and brand perception.
How the Stealth Program Delivers Results
The Stealth Program relies on proactive planning and controlled execution. DDB intentionally conceals construction activity to ensure projects proceed without drawing attention or causing disruption.
Key elements of the program include:
- Fully screened work zones with finished temporary partitions
- Materials, debris, and equipment kept out of public view
- Off-site or discreetly managed contractor vehicle staging
- Coordinated access routes and workflows aligned with building operations
When construction personnel appear in occupied areas, DDB presents them in a way that integrates seamlessly into daily building activity. This strategy allows renovations to progress efficiently while maintaining a professional, uninterrupted environment.
How the Stealth Program Delivers Results
Continuity matters most to property owners and operators. DDB’s Stealth Program reduces tenant complaints, limits downtime, and prevents revenue loss during renovations. By eliminating common signs of construction, properties maintain a polished, professional appearance and instill confidence in occupants throughout the project lifecycle.
“Renovating an occupied building requires a different level of planning and execution,” said Eric Albanese, CEO of DDB Contracting. “Our Stealth Program allows essential improvements to move forward while protecting operational performance and the experience of the people using the space every day.”
A Strategic Approach to Renovation
The Stealth Program goes beyond jobsite controls. It provides a strategic construction solution for active environments. By anticipating potential disruptions before they occur, DDB supports risk management, schedule reliability, and operational efficiency.
The program has served hospitality, corporate, and commercial properties where maintaining business continuity and occupant confidence is essential. By preserving functionality and minimizing disruption, the Stealth Program delivers measurable value and strengthens return on investment for clients.
