Builder Matt Redfern has been working on projects in the Wellington area for the past 15 years and commenced the inter-generational project in September 2019.
His company Matt Redfern Constructions have contributed to many residential and commercial jobs across the district, but this is his first commercial build as principal contractor.
Mr Redfern is working alongside up to 20 other trades from Wellington and Dubbo on the project, which is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
The Wellington builder said they have become like a family during the development.
"There is a multiple of trades working on this project. It really is a trade family in Wellington. It's a community," Mr Redfern said.

Construction is progressing well, with the framework, roof and exterior walls already underway.
Once completed, the facility will uniquely operate as a childcare centre adjacent to aged care, offering intergenerational care and learning.
"We are very blessed to have a facility like it here. To add to that, the innovation in this project is unbelievable." Mr Redfern said.
"Something like this, it's an absolute showcase for tradies from Wellington."
