2001 Best Commercial Remodel

Hurricane damage to an eighty bed health facility for the elderly, terminally ill, and immuno-compromised patients in Wallace, NC. The facility was flooded when Hurricane Floyd hit North Carolina. Floodwater reached 30" high throughout the whole facility. An upstream sewage treatment plant flooded, and sewage from the plant ran into this building.

Phase one was de-flooding, drying out and initial decontamination of the whole structure to allow the safe re-building effort. Water did not recede for two weeks and was filled with sewage, hospital medical waste, IV feeding solution, urine bags, sharps and needles and rotted food. Mold and mildew were everywhere.

The facility was vacant for five months while teardown/re-build vs. restoration calculations were compared. Restoration consisted of roofing, siding, electrical, insulation, drywall, flooring, painting, wallpaper, HVAC, doors, cabinetry, and finish carpentry.

They were able to save the structure with extensive biohazard containment that is too complicated for me to explain…using words I don’t know how to pronounce.

By putting together a team of experts, they were able to meet all the requirements of the owners and the regulatory authorities within budget and time parameters.
