MaineHealth Waldo County Hospital- Orth, Primary Care, and Diabetes
The Ortho renovation was an occupied, two-phase project within the main facility, (Ludwig Health Center), requiring special attention to infection control and noise suppression. Although originally planned as a 22-week, single-phase project, the schedule was extended by only 11 weeks to split into two phases, allowing the department to remain functional without relocation. The Orthopedic department’s proximity created opportunities for regular check-ins, ensuring staff could provide their input on the final equipment placement. Improvements included demolition and rebuild of all interior partitions within the construction zone, new cabinetry and finishes. Added features include a fire-rated storage space for medications and 8 private office workspaces. Construction occurred from July 2022 to February 2023.
Started in August of 2023, this single-phase renovation on the second floor of the Biscone Medical Office Building was performed while the ground floor walk-in clinic remained active. Previously utilized as a Respiratory Center, the space was repurposed for Family Medicine and Diabetes/Anticoag services, with a community conference room for public health education. Improvements include rebuilding 85% of existing partitions, new cabinetry and finishes, a new Lab/Point-of-Care testing space, and a large Primary Care Team Room. Mid-project, it was determined that one of the boilers was no longer functioning, so the construction team immediately worked to facilitate speedy replacement of the boiler and all associated venting before critical temperatures set in. The project also added a “facelift” for 6 exam rooms, originally excluded from the scope. Despite the added scope, JFSCC finished on schedule (22 weeks) in December of 2023.

Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts – The Commons

The Commons was built in its place providing the campus with a new 3,900sf climate controlled ADA accessible dining hall, commercial kitchen, and an ADA accessible guest suite. The Commons consists of wood framing, low maintenance materials, and was completed in one winter to be ready to serve the busy summer season.
MaineHealth Waldoboro Medical Office Building
In 2024, through a competitive RFP process, MaineHealth selected JF Scott Construction as Construction Manager at Risk for a new Medical Office Building in Waldoboro, Maine. Preconstruction and demolition followed a parallel track, as design and budget development occurred simultaneously with abatement and demolition of the existing structures on the project’s two parcels on Depot St.
Over the course of the next 5 months, the budget was trimmed by nearly 25% through a collaborative design development process between MaineHealth, JF Scott, and the design team of WBRC and Sebago Technics. Several changes to the building’s shape and construction details, along with the extent of sitework, and the development of easily distinguishable bid-alternates got the project where it needed to be in order to proceed to bidding. The result was the perfect balance of scope to budget.
Ground was broken in summer of 2025, with occupancy tracking for spring of 2026.

The $3.7M project started in July 2024 and was turned over in April 2025, well ahead of schedule and on budget. This project was the first in the state of Maine to fully comply with the strict requirements of the Build America Buy America Act (BABAA).
