Boston – Bilt-Rite has reported that recent construction of the $11.1 million rental housing component at Olmsted Green in Dorchester continues to yield successful results for both the owner and the community it serves. As in Phase I, Bilt-Rite Construction delivered on the measurable financial goals of substantial shared owner savings, while achieving substantial completion 36 days ahead of schedule.
In addition the company met the lofty community goals by building the project with 50% M/WBE companies while achieving an impressive 68% Minority, 55% Boston Resident workforce during construction.
The project included the construction of a three-story residential style wood frame building, (50 units) containing eight one-bedroom units, 34 two-bedroom units, and eight three-bedroom units for rental use. Additionally, 33 parking spaces and site improvements were constructed.
One of the main challenges of the project was the poor soil conditions encountered at some areas of the site. The team worked together to ensure that all unsuitable materials were removed, new soils brought in and compacted properly while keeping costs and time at a minimum.
An established leader in building affordable housing in Boston, Bilt-Rite Construction specializes in construction management, preconstruction planning, value engineering and general contracting services.
