ORA has extensive history working on housing and mixed-use projects. Housing projects include everything from senior housing to affordable housing to luxury condominiums & apartments. Mixed-use is any large scale building that will have several different purposes – typically housing/office space over retail/commercial spaces.
Housing and mixed use projects come with their own set of challenges. Often these projects are on a strict schedule, and require a resident inspector who can oversee inspections & testing throughout the project. ORA has several experienced lead inspectors who can take on this daunting task and ensure your project is completed on time.
