The Community Housing Network develops and manages quality, affordable housing for adults with drug & alcohol dependencies and mental illness in Central Ohio.
After completing other successful projects with them, we were asked to collaborate with the Civil Engineer and Architect to provide preconstruction services.
After 10 months of programming, design and budgeting analysis—including many revisions to the design—the project was released for construction by CHN.
Challenges
Soil Conditions & Seller Covenants
In a semi-public development like Southpoint—with multiple sources of funding—there are many procedural hurdles. The property seller also had some control over the final disposition of the project, plus there were standard zoning issues. By bringing together all of the parties, we were able to help shepherd the design phase through to a successful completion for our client:
Final Design Specifications
Permit Drawings
Finished Project Budget
Construction Schedule
Features
Turnkey Design Phase for Another Successful CHN Development
35,600 square foot multi-family housing facility
Road and utility extensions with other site improvements
Bid Process with complete qualification & tabulation of quotes for final contract awards directly by the client
Results
Always Working to Find the Best Value
Although immersed in the project design phase, MCR Services did not perform the actual construction phase for Southpoint.
During a downturn in the residential market, home-builders were freed up. After analyzing & qualifying their pricing, we determined that it was more cost-effective to award the construction package to a residential contractor.
MCR Services brings value to our clients’ projects. We are happy to collaborate with CHN on another fine development.
