This design-build project for The Mohican Church of the Brethern consisted of a 8,784 square foot building addition to their existing church building, construction of a 352 square foot portico (covered drop off) at the south entry, and 183 square feet of renovated area in the existing building.

The additions consisted of a multi-purpose fellowship/meeting room with a seating capacity of 480, a large warming kitchen with lots of counter space, a large serving window, and a commercial hood with fire suppression. A large lobby area with handicap accessible men's and women's restrooms, a mechanical room, a storage room, and an administrative office were also part of the addition.

In order to accommodate the ground elevation changes the addition was set at a lower elevation than the existing building, so a handicap chair lift was installed as well as a stairway for access between the two levels.

The project included site work, utility extensions, extensive parking lot work, retaining walls, exterior concrete, and storm sewer work.

Testimonial
I wanted to take a moment to thank you and the rest there at Weaver Commercial for the wonderful work that you did for us at Mohican Church of the Brethren. From the moment that we began dealing with your company, we were both blessed and impressed by the professional manner in which things were handled. Thanks for the grace you showed in working with the church members who represented the congregation's needs. Your wisdom showed a genuine understanding of life in a community of faith. It was great to know we had a builder who was big enough to do the job with great skill, yet personal enough to listen. Another thing that impressed me was the level of skill and the integrity of every single work crew you sent to our project. Without exception, they demonstrated that they were highly qualified for the tasks at hand. Not only that, but they were all very gracious to be around throughout the course of the project - truly a joy to have on the grounds. Each crew represented your company very well - modeling care for their work, passion for what they do, and integrity throughout the project. We are absolutely thrilled with the addition you built for us, and it has already become a valuable tool for ministry in our community. Both beautiful and incredibly practical, it is something which the congregation can feel very good about. There is great joy in watching them look for more and more uses of that with which we have been blessed. As for you personally, you demonstrated wisdom, skill and a needed grace in sometimes less than ideal conditions. I had no idea that when we came to the completion of this building project I would have gained a few new friends, but that is exactly what I found in you and your people. Thank you! May God richly bless you and yours,
