Balfour Beatty Communities army project director Brian Beauregard said: “The much-anticipated exterior renovations will enhance the look and feel of our Fort Hamilton community, while also improving the living experience for military families.
“We are excited to deliver these modern upgrades to the homes on-base and we remain committed to investing in our military housing to meet the needs of our residents today and in the future.”
In 2019, Balfour Beatty Communities carried out a pilot project that involved undertaking external improvements to three buildings on the property.
Under the present contract, Balfour Beatty will be responsible for replacing all the current vinyl siding with an upgraded fibre cement product to increase longevity, durability, and aesthetic appeal.
