Project Construction During Unprecedented Times

Building Through the COVID Era

The Oak Hill Apartments project was completed over a two-year construction schedule, spanning the height and early recovery period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite supply chain challenges, workforce restrictions, and evolving safety requirements, Fairchance Construction maintained progress through careful planning, adaptability, and close coordination with all project partners.

Phased Delivery for Maximum Efficiency

Four Buildings, One Coordinated Vision

The project consisted of four apartment buildings constructed simultaneously. Fairchance Construction worked closely with designers, owners, and client representatives to implement a phased completion strategy. As each building reached completion, it was turned over for tenant occupancy while construction continued on the remaining structures. This approach allowed for efficient use of resources and accelerated community activation.

Collaboration and Craftsmanship

Strategic Use of Subtrades

Subcontractors played a vital role in the success of the project. Fairchance Construction strategically selected and self-performed scopes of work that aligned with internal strengths, ensuring quality control while leveraging trusted trade partners. The result is a well-executed project delivered through strong teamwork, coordination, and shared pride in the finished product.
