Contractors overcame a number of challenges during the construction of the Watervue at North Beach apartment complex project. Because the ground was primarily rock, Jordan Construction had to build retaining walls that were between 14 ft and 16 ft high in order to contain the rock. While most of the rock was excavated, some was used as backfill to raise the elevation in some areas due to a significant slope in topography.
Within the project’s first quarter, it had been decided that the first-floor unit floors would be stained. Jordan sought out floor staining expertise to ensure quality work was produced and seamlessly transitioned that into the project. This change should have set the team back, but through creative scheduling, the team made up the time and still finished the job early.
