Project Goals
The R.E.L. Community Center sustained damage from Hurricanes Florence and Michael to its roof and exterior walls.
Project Design
The Preliminary Report was provided to the town of Chase City to inform its scope of work and contractor selection.
CPG also oversaw a repair prioritization and cost analysis prepared by Colliers International. Priority areas consisted of exterior walls, windows, the roof, and chimney; the project team also identified key repairs beyond the budgeted disaster recovery scope to assist the Town in securing additional funding and for future repairs.
Challenges & Accomplishments
CPG's report was just the initial step in ensuring the longevity of this historic resource.
CPG has continued to support the Town by providing guidance on the detailed means and methods proposed by the selected construction team to ensure all repairs will meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
