Haussman Construction Company was selected by the Building Committee of the First Baptist Church to perform the addition to their existing church using Construction Management for project delivery.

The project included a 16,000 square foot addition, and a construction cost of approximately $1,800,000.
The project broke ground in April 1999 and was completed on schedule in February 2000.

The addition involved adding a gymnasium and several classrooms. Remodeling portions of the existing structure is also included in the scope of the project.

The structure is a masonry exterior load bearing wall system with structural steel interior support and roof framing. The exterior walls on three sides of the gymnasium are constructed to act as not only the support for the gymnasium roof framing, but also to retain up to 10 feet of earth due to the existing exterior grades around the addition.

This project included a $200,000 contingency for unforeseen situations. Haussman Construction Company is proud of the fact that this contingency was, for the most part, unused for the project. This is a tribute to the fact that we strive for completeness when generating our clients with budgeting for their projects. In addition, thorough reviews during the design process serves to be an invaluable commodity for the construction phase of any project.
