Work set to begin on-site for Bechtel housing project!

The Bechtel Street alternative housing project has reached another major milestone in its development. The City of Cambridge has granted the project site plan approval. This means that work can begin on-site to prepare the property for the installation of the six new homes.

Over the coming weeks, there will be increased activity on the property. This includes trucks coming in and out, workers on-site, and the presence of heavy equipment and machinery. All of this activity is required to prepare the property for the new homes. The work to take place during this time will include:

• Digging up the existing parking lot
• Excavating the area where the new building will be located
• Preparing in-ground infrastructure to service the new homes
• Pouring the foundation for the new building

While the on-site work is taking place, the containers will continue being transformed into new homes, with walls and floors to be built next.

The next step will be receiving the building permit approval, which will allow the containers to be moved from the factory and be installed on-site.
