MAPLEWOOD NURSING HOME
Location: Westmoreland, New Hampshire
Architect: Weller & Michal Architechs
Contract Amount: $3,725,649

Summary

The 38,000 sq. ft. expansion and renovation project at the Maplewood Nursing Home was com-pletedwithin an aggressive 12-month schedule, with minimum interruption to around-the-clock healthcare services.

Further complicating the project was a steeply sloped site and unstable wet clay soil. Using a highly coordinated staged construction process, substantial completion was accom-plished for $3.78 million, about 2% higher than the original bid.

The 2% increase through negotiated Change Orders was split roughly in thirds, with 1/3 for found-conditions or code-agency mandated changes, 1/3 for omissions in the original contract and 1/3 from county-mandated changes in the work.

The work was carried out safely and without significant construction-related accidents. Most importantly, Maplewood’s around-the-clock healthcare services were never interrupted. Indeed, during construction the healthcare facility received a "deficiency-free rating" from the Department of Health and Human Services—an impressive feat for any facility under normal circumstances.
