CAC 2000 wins redevelopment project in Eastern Caribbean
CAC 2000 Limited (CAC), in keeping with its objective to expand regionally, has been selected to join an international team providing engineering services for the development of an initial set of multimilliondollar houses on the island of Barbuda.
With work already under way, the Cool Experts will be joining other regional contractors to provide, design and build services for the project. This includes mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) services and all air-conditioning and ventilation needs.
CAC will also lead the design and building of renewableenergy sources, pools, telecommunications, and safety and security features.
“We are proud to have been selected to work in the region on these houses. Whilst we have already done similar houses for high-net worth individuals in Jamaica, this new venture will see us working with a team of experts from around the world who specialise in these types of houses,” said Steven Marston, chief executive officer at CAC.
“These houses are a part of an initial phase of the redevelopment of Barbuda following catastrophic damage to the island caused by the passage of Hurricane Irma in 2017,” Marston added.
HIGH CALIBRE
The Jamaica-based company will be part of a high-calibre project team, which includes lead Architect Scott Mitchell of Los Angeles, California; project management specialist Shugart Wasse Wickwire of Seattle, Washington; and contractor Silich Construction from Aspen, Colorado.
In addition, CAC has been selected to design power plants to generate electricity through the combination of renewable solar and wind power and fossil fuels, with an added benefit of reducing the overall fuel usage of the widespread development.
“We plan to extend our scope of work to other areas of infrastructure and housing development for the island, inclusive of worker accommodation, utility plants, schools and clinics,” Marston said.
