FDNY New Fire House Engine Co #268

Far Rockaway, NY

Ellana provided cost estimating and reconciliation services for a new three-story, 16,000-square-foot fire house with offices, kitchens, residences and large storage space and furnished roof common space. The Design-Build project is located in a FEMA flood zone and required special considerations for resilience measures and ADA accessibility and egress configurations.

The fire house also features several training rooms, lockers, administrative spaces, study rooms, sitting rooms, a firefighter quiet room, a stress reduction room, elevated mechanical spaces, solar panels and robust stormwater management strategies.

Ellana reconciled cost estimates with the contractor and saved nearly $8 million in projected construction costs.
