Rumford Center Phase 1 & Phase 2

Phase l: Adaptive Reuse of Mill
Phase ll: Ground Up 80 Units (market rate)

Rumford Center Phase 1 is the major transformation of a historical landmark with deep local history. During the preconstruction phase the housing market drastically changed (2008) and the Owner Group made the decision to change the product from condominiums to rental apartments. The adaptive reuse and commitment to meeting the historical requirements of the project remained unchanged. this project was delivered on time and on budget.

Several years later, Peregrine engaged NEC for preconstruction services for ground up 80 units to complement the mill conversion. The accuracy of our conceptual estimating helped achieve cost certainty early in development. The conceptual budget and the contract amount for this large scale project varied by a mere $24,000.00.

Overall the project came in $150,000.000 under budget.

The original project schedule was August 2016 through October 2017. NEC completed the project on time with 100% schedule adherence and with precise construction sequencing. NEC worked with Peregrine and the City of East Providence to phase occupancy. We moved occupants in floor by floor achieving rental income 3 months earlier than expected.

Numark Industries

New England Construction was selected to design and build the new 30,000 square foot, two-story office facility for Numark Industries. We were able to provide Mr. O’Donnell a design for the building that would enable their business to grow and function more efficiently while allowing it to offer public appeal at the same time. The project required that we be complete in less than six months. One of the harshest winters that New England has experienced in years challenged our creativity and valued engineering skills. Yet in the end, New England Construction succeeded.
