Austin, TX is home to one of Senior Quality Lifestyles Corporation’s luxurious senior living communities, The Querencia at Barton Creek. This 38-acre campus encompasses tasteful residences, a sparkling pool, an art gallery, a wine-tasting excursion, unique bistro dining and a multiuse fitness center. Their quality of living and resident care recently won recognition as a Masterpiece Living Certified Center for Successful Aging. Chamberlin’s Querencia Balcony Repair project included waterproofing and restoring the exterior balconies and windows to rejuvenate the prestigious life care community.
While installing nearly 190,000 square feet of waterproofing products, Chamberlin met challenges such as terrain obstacles, design changes, resident accommodations and time constraints. This scope was completed in 20 months with a total contract amount of nearly $5,700,000. Querencia was still a functioning and active senior living facility during the renovations. Chamberlin was conscious of the residents’ schedules and strived to keep interruptions to a minimum. Work only commenced from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily. Crews began their work by sealing the windows on the exterior side with window film to help mitigate dust penetrating the tenant’s living space. When needed, insulation was added to muffle noise as well.
Teamwork, innovation and proactive planning made it possible to deliver quality waterproofing to this campus productively and on time to serve the facilities and their residents for years to come. Read more about the challenges overcome by the Chamberlin team here.
