Project Description

This Design-Build project included the completion of the 35 percent RFP design to full design for the construction of 55 housing units for the U.S. Navy. The initial work included hazardous material abatement and demolition of 35 existing two-story duplex and single-story single family homes and replacing those structures with the 55 homes – 11 duplexes and 33 single family homes.

This military housing complex is primarily intended for senior enlisted and junior officer personnel and as such, the design and finishes reflect a higher standard than often found in “inside the fence” housing. Amenities include ceramic tile floors throughout, vaulted ceilings with recessed lighting and ceiling fans, island kitchens complete with appliances, screened patio enclosures and 170mph typhoon wind rated doors, windows and storm shutters.

All units include enclosed garages with remote-operated garage doors. Civil work included upgrades to all existing services such as water, sewer and storm drainage. The electrical distribution system was “hardened” with all existing overhead electrical, communications and CCTV lines moved underground. Site finishing work included neighborhood amenities such as picnic area, playgrounds, “super tot lot” and basketball/volleyball courts and improvements to existing road surfaces.
