HICAPS - Excellence in Construction

Charlotte, NC- November 15, 2012 - HICAPS has received the 2012 Merit Award for Construction Excellence from ABCC (Associated Builders and Contractors of the Carolinas).  Accepting the award for HICAPS was Dan Hood, President and CEO of HICAPS, and his wife Gisela Hood.  The Project Manager was Chip Calhoun.
The award was given for the VA Long Term Care Facility in Salisbury, NC.  This project consisted of an extensive renovation of 45,000 square feet in the existing and fully operational Long Term Care (Building 42,) in three phases, on three different floors, plus the construction of an attached New Hospice Building (approximately 19,000 square feet) which had elaborate interior millwork and trim finishes, and the exterior had extensive site work and landscaping.  Even though this was not a Design/Build project, HICAPS worked with RPA Design, the Architect of Record, throughout the duration.  The total project duration was 400 days.
Congratulations on a great project!
