Wagman Construction, a member of ABC Greater Baltimore, recently received a Diamond Excellence in Construction Award, the highest level of recognition in the Excellence in Construction Awards. The awards are presented to local member contractor firms for their outstanding work on projects. Wagman's Homewood at Frederick - the Lodge Expansion project was one of the 18 projects to receive the Diamond Award.

After completing the Lodge's first phase in 2016, which included 85 apartments, communal areas and amenities, Homewood Retirement Centers again partnered with Wagman Construction for the final phase expansion. This collaboration spanned more than 20 years and 50 projects.

The Lodge Expansion added 73,000 square feet to the existing facility, providing 31 new apartments and additional parking on the lower level. The building features a combination of construction methods, including 16-foot-tall cast-in-place concrete walls for the foundation, structural steel and slab-on-deck construction, topped by a four-story wood framed structure with trusses reaching 78 feet above the finished floor.
