FAMILY TREE / LINCOLN WAY AFFORDABLE HOUSING REHAB
Everett and Lynnwood, WA
2014
Buchanan rehabilitated 199 affordable housing units in 15 buildings on 2 sites. The work was driven by a 30-day phased construction schedule, based on an 18 to 21 workday period. The owner adjusted each unit’s final work scope two weeks prior to tenant move-out. During construction, we implemented safety procedures to safeguard the well being of the tenants in the surrounding densely populated and heavily trafficked buildings. We exercised significant logistical planning and coordination of materials delivery and storage, as well as subcontractor collaboration and activity monitoring to ensure completion of each building.
New
finishes included cabinets, flooring, appliances, and
plumbing and electrical fixtures. The electrical and plumbing fixtures
and appliances met Evergreen standards, and we monitored VOCs and NAUF
content on relevant materials. Exterior work included new roofing on 4
buildings at Lincoln Way, and new siding on all 15 buildings.
The owner had a binding agreement with tenants to meet move-back dates. Buchanan met every date, often proceeding with the next building ahead of schedule, when vacancies permitted.
