Successful construction projects rely on coordination, collaboration, and alignment, and a key event that brings these elements together is the mock-up. Today at the Tamien Station Affordable Housing project, we advanced the exterior mock-up process by finalizing the details for window installations. This crucial milestone was the result of extensive preparation, including RFIs, submittals, pre-coordination meetings, and constant communication through calls, emails, and texts. On-site, we had the full team—architect, framer, metal stud/ DensGlass installer, window installers, waterproofing consultants, sheet metal installers, and general contractor—working together to ensure every detail was addressed. By resolving all possible conditions and scenarios now, we'll be ready to hit the ground running when the windows arrive. Thank you to all our partners for their commitment to planning ahead and ensuring the success of this project. #BuildingBetterCommunities #Construction #AffordableHousing #TeamCORE #TamienStation #BuildingTheFuture

 Grace Village: Progress Update "Now you see it, now you don't!" We're excited to share that the Grace Village team has reached a major milestone by coordinating the removal of over 300 tons of Class 2 pool spoils from our compact site. This achievement paves the way for us to begin forming the new building pad, bringing us one step closer to realizing this transformative project. In addition, our amazing team is making great strides in threading the Joint Trench between the occupied buildings while ensuring safe access for residents to the various onsite facilities. Safety and precision are at the forefront of everything we do, and we're proud of the team's commitment to maintaining these standards. Stay tuned as we continue to make progress on this exciting development! #BuildingBetterCommunities #GraceVillage #ConstructionMilestone #BuildingProgress #SafeAccess #Teamwork #CommunityDevelopment
