Assisted Living & Multi-Family
Assisted Living & Multi-Family Built for Daily Life
Senior living communities and residential buildings that balance life-safety systems, accessibility, and warm interior design — delivered by a Southeast builder with seven decades of occupancy-driven experience.
Who We Are
Where Life Safety Meets Livability
Assisted living and multi-family buildings serve residents who call them home — not guests who check out in a week. That changes how you build. Since 1955, Pinkerton & Laws has applied its hospitality construction discipline to residential and senior living projects across the Southeast, bringing the same pre-construction rigor to a building type where life-safety systems and accessibility are not optional.
Our approach to assisted living and multi-family starts with understanding the operator’s care model and the resident experience. We coordinate life-safety systems, ADA-compliant routes, and common-area finishes during pre-construction so the build does not collide with licensing inspections or certificate-of-occupancy timelines. See the residential and senior living projects we have delivered across the region.
From our Atlanta office and Orlando office, we serve developers across Georgia, Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia. For owners weighing delivery methods, our general contractor overview explains how we structure the build from pre-construction through final inspection.
What We Do
Capabilities Specific to Senior Living & Residential
Life-Safety System Coordination
Fire suppression, emergency power, nurse call, and smoke compartmentation designed and installed to meet state licensing and AHJ requirements before the first resident moves in.
Resident-Occupied Phasing
Renovations and additions in operating communities phased wing by wing with dust barriers, noise control, and life-safety maintained so residents stay safe and comfortable during construction.
AHJ & Licensing Inspection Support
We coordinate with state health departments and local authorities having jurisdiction throughout the build, scheduling inspections to align with your licensing and occupancy timeline.
Resident Suite Build-Out
Guest rooms and resident suites framed, finished, and equipped with grab bars, accessible baths, and durable finishes that stand up to daily use without feeling institutional.
ADA & Accessible Route Compliance
Curbless showers, zero-threshold entries, common-area circulation paths, and accessible dwelling units built to ADA and ANSI standards, verified before certificate of occupancy.
Common Area & Kitchen Fit-Out
Dining rooms, activity spaces, and commercial kitchens built with durable, cleanable finishes and coordinated MEP to support daily meal service and community programming.

How We Work
How We Build for Residents
Care Model & Code Review
We review the operator’s care model, state licensing requirements, and local building codes during pre-construction so life-safety and accessibility are designed in, not retrofitted.
Pre-Construction & Value Engineering
We model the cost, review constructability, and value-engineer durable finishes and systems that balance first cost with long-term maintenance for the operator.
Site Work & Structure
Foundations, structure, and envelope go up with daily quality checkpoints, keeping life-safety rough-in coordinated with the structural phase from the start.
Life-Safety & MEP Installation
Fire suppression, nurse call, emergency power, and accessible plumbing are installed and tested against AHJ and licensing standards before finishes close them in.
Finishes, Inspection & Occupancy
Durable interior finishes, common areas, and resident suites are completed, then we walk the project with state inspectors and the operator to secure licensing and certificate of occupancy.
