(York, Pa.) Wagman Construction, a proud member of ABC Greater Baltimore, is honored to announce that it has received a prestigious Diamond Excellence in Construction Award, the highest level of recognition. The Excellence in Construction Awards are presented to local member contractor firms for their outstanding work on projects. Wagman’s Homewood at Frederick – The Lodge Expansion project was one of the 18 projects to receive the Diamond Award.
After completing The Lodge’s first phase in 2016, which included 85 apartments, communal areas, and amenities, Homewood Retirement Centers again partnered with Wagman Construction for the final phase expansion. This collaboration, spanning over 20 years and 50 projects, ensured a seamless and successful project delivery.
The Lodge Expansion added 73,000 square feet to the existing facility, providing 31 new apartments and additional parking on the lower level. The building features a combination of construction methods, including 16-foot-tall cast-in-place concrete walls for the foundation, structural steel, and slab-on-deck construction, topped by a four-story wood-framed structure with trusses reaching 78 feet above the finished floor.
The successful completion of the final phase of The Lodge stands as a testament to the partnership between Homewood Retirement Centers and Wagman Construction. Through collaboration, innovation, and effective communication, the team navigated unforeseen challenges and delivered a high-quality project on schedule.
