Experienced Construction for Senior Living Communities

Senior Living Communities

Badraun Builders understands that senior living construction requires careful coordination of design, building systems, materials, functionality, durability, and the surrounding environment.

SENIOR-LIVING PROJECT

PRESCOTT, ARIZONA

Our experience includes the construction of a 128-unit ultra-luxury active senior-living property in Prescott, Arizona. Using our pre-construction services, the project incorporated architecture, materials, and aesthetic elements consistent with the culture and landscape of Arizona.

Local slate and rocks were used in fountains and other masonry details, while custom atrium skylights were incorporated to provide natural daylighting and help reduce energy consumption.

To maintain the rich history and character of the area, Badraun Builders incorporated natural materials including copper, clay, and unique wood throughout common areas, dining halls, recreation areas, patios, and private rooms.

The project also demonstrates our ability to combine architectural detail with practical construction and cost considerations. Taking advantage of one of our subsidiary companies, we used numerous foam-fabricated products throughout the project. These products provided durability and strength while reducing costs without sacrificing aesthetics.

Badraun Builders also cost engineered several key systems, including HVAC and plumbing, resulting in a more effective product at a lower cost.

The project was completed ahead of schedule and under budget, with an appraisal value upon completion of more than double the project cost.

Senior Living Construction Built Around the Resident Experience

Senior living communities require more than conventional residential construction.

The finished environment needs to support residents while also providing functional spaces for dining, recreation, social interaction, staff operations, and daily activities.

Our construction approach considers the relationship between:

Private living spaces
Common areas
Dining facilities
Recreation areas
Outdoor spaces
Building systems
Materials and finishes
Natural lighting
Accessibility
Long-term durability
Construction cost
Schedule requirements

By considering these elements together during planning and construction, we can help create senior living environments that are functional, comfortable, durable, and visually cohesive.

Pre-Construction for Senior Living Projects

Senior living projects benefit significantly from construction expertise being introduced before construction begins.

For the Prescott project, Badraun Builders used pre-construction services to help coordinate the architecture, materials, aesthetic elements, building systems, and construction requirements.

Our pre-construction process can include:

Reviewing construction documents
Evaluating building systems
Developing construction budgets
Reviewing material selections
Identifying constructability issues
Evaluating construction methods
Planning procurement
Developing construction schedules
Coordinating subcontractors and specialty vendors
Identifying value engineering opportunities

Early coordination provides an opportunity to address potential cost and construction issues before they affect the field schedule.

Designing Around the Local Environment

Senior living communities should feel connected to their surroundings.

On the Prescott, Arizona project, Badraun Builders incorporated architectural materials and details that reflected the area’s culture and landscape.

Natural materials such as:

Local slate
Natural rock
Copper
Clay
Unique wood

were incorporated throughout the project.

These materials were used in areas including fountains, masonry details, common areas, dining halls, recreation areas, patios, and private rooms.

Rather than treating the building and its environment as separate elements, the construction approach incorporated materials and architectural details that helped connect the property to its location.

Common Areas & Resident Spaces

Senior living communities contain many different environments, each with different construction requirements.

Badraun Builders can coordinate construction for areas such as:

Private Living Spaces

Resident rooms and private areas designed around comfort, functionality, and durability.

Dining Areas

Spaces that require coordination between architectural finishes, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and operational requirements.

Recreation Areas

Common spaces designed to support activities, social interaction, and resident engagement.

Patios & Outdoor Areas

Outdoor spaces that connect the building with its surrounding landscape.

Common Areas

Shared spaces where material durability, lighting, architectural details, and building systems all need to work together.

Managing Senior Living Projects Around Schedule & Budget

Construction delays can have significant consequences for development projects.

Our Prescott senior living project demonstrates our focus on schedule and cost control. The project was completed ahead of schedule and under budget.

Our approach to schedule management can include:

Early procurement planning
Trade coordination
Construction sequencing
Material coordination
Specialty fabrication scheduling
Building system coordination
Field problem solving
Regular project management

By addressing potential conflicts and procurement issues early, we can help maintain momentum throughout construction.

Value Engineering Without Sacrificing Design

Senior living construction often requires balancing architectural expectations with significant construction budgets.

Our value engineering approach looks for opportunities to improve the relationship between cost, quality, performance, and aesthetics.

The Prescott project provides a strong example.

Badraun Builders evaluated HVAC and plumbing systems and incorporated foam-fabricated architectural products to achieve cost efficiencies without sacrificing the intended appearance or functionality of the property.

The objective is not simply to reduce costs. It is to determine where the project can receive better overall value from the construction investment.
