Another step in Clifton

By Eamon Bencivengo

Another step was taken in the development of our Clifton Project when we met with two representatives from Crane Group International.  Operating from their factory in Hillside, NJ, the Crane Group is a leader in the construction of pre-fabricated homes.  These homes are built entirely in their factory including interior and exterior walls, while being prepped for plumbing fixtures and electrical components to be installed on site.  As our tight project site in Clifton presents significant challenges for contractors to build a home on account of the site’s lack of space, the prospect of putting together a pre-fabricated home instead offers a promising solution.  The promise of this solution was magnified when the Crane Group conveyed their willingness, commitment, and enthusiasm to participate in the project.  Our next step is to create a more detailed floor plan of the upcoming project with our architect and submit this plan to the Crane Group for a cost estimate.  Before long we will have a construction budget and soon after, a new completed group home!
