The City Commission of Livingston, MT, received an update on the construction progress of a new building during their recent meeting, highlighting significant advancements and a clear timeline for completion. The construction company, Swank, is currently focused on backfilling precast walls and preparing for under-slab waste and vent rough-ins, which are essential for a radon mitigation system. This proactive measure aims to ensure safety from potential soil gas issues, addressing concerns raised by the commission.

Looking ahead, the construction team plans to concentrate on roofing and installing steel to enclose the building by October. Additionally, with heavy machinery moving out, the pouring of slab floors will commence, minimizing the risk of damage to the concrete.

The project is on track for substantial completion by January 2027, with final adjustments expected to be completed by late February. This timeline indicates that the building will be ready for occupancy by February 2027. The project manager noted the smooth progress, attributing it to the contractor's experience with a similar building, which is a rare advantage in public sector construction.

This update underscores the city's commitment to ensuring a safe and efficient construction process, with a focus on timely completion and community readiness for the new facility.
