RCF Christine

STRABAG Belgium delivered a new residential care centre in Ekeren.

For RCF Christine, STRABAG Belgium was responsible for the closed structural works and the full finishing of parcel 1. In addition, we coordinated all remaining parcels, from 2 to 12 – a crucial role in ensuring a smooth and high‑quality construction process.

Thanks to our integrated approach, meticulous project planning and close collaboration between all partners, a wide range of specialist contractors were able to work simultaneously. This phased yet perfectly synchronised execution kept the project firmly on track, both in terms of schedule and quality.

The other parcels included, among others:

  • Parcel 2: installation of lifts
  • Parcel 3: electrical works
  • Parcel 4: HVAC installations
  • Parcel 5: sanitary installations and fire protection
  • Parcel 6: industrial kitchen installation
  • Parcel 7: painting works and wall finishes
  • Parcel 8: flexible floor coverings
  • Parcel 9: fixed furniture
  • Parcel 10: loose furniture
  • Parcel 11: landscaping works
  • Parcel 12: curtains

The new residential care centre covers 12,698 m² and comprises 101 rooms, spacious communal areas, a bright cafeteria and an underground car park. The building was designed with careful consideration for space, comfort and the specific requirements of a care environment.

Drawing on our experience in complex construction projects and a well-considered approach to project management, we delivered a residential care centre that combines comfort, safety and functionality.
