Scope Of Work
With housing for seniors in high demand, Bessey Commons Apartment Community needed their complex to meet the demand by adding a new energy-efficient housing complex. Ouellet Construction partnered with the Housing Initiatives of New England (HINEC) to complete this high-quality and functional housing project in time.
Solar power and spray foam insulation were just the beginning; the panelized building became a unique project for Ouellet Construction. This project centered around repeatable execution by perfecting the initial model. David Lawrence and Dean Ouellet’s combined expertise in communal housing provided immense value by making the complex project as efficient as possible.
Even while working amidst the pandemic, never having worked on a panelized building project before, and being unable to hire a framing contractor due to labor shortages, Ouellet overcame these challenges. The project stayed on track without delay, and the team stepped up and utilized their labor force to frame the project together, clearly displaying the spirit and ingenuity of Ouellet Construction.
