Church construction at Bethany Lutheran church took place in 2018, as we partnered with the construction management team at CIR Group on expanding the Bethany Lutheran Church on McCarty Road in Saginaw. The $116,000 renovation to this space is oriented toward the growth and expansion of their church body.
Having the opportunity to expand their teaching space and worship space allows for Bethany Lutheran to adequately serve the families and local community in a new capacity, which they had not been able to accommodate previously. Our trained professionals self-performed the rough framing on the roof and sheeting of two new additions, which are approximately 4,200 square feet in size. We worked alongside many other skilled tradesmen throughout the duration of this church construction project.
This exciting project began mid-October and our scope of the work was completed mid-December. The construction team faced many weather-related challenges during the late fall months, making heavy machinery difficult to operate in muddy conditions and extreme cold temperatures in December. They also faced a unique challenge of performing work on a 12’x12′ pitched roof on the narthex. This required the construction crew to take additional safety precautions when working on the roof and required the use of cranes to set the material safely. The team on site did a great job managing the additional safety concerns and completed the job without any injuries.
Bethany Lutheran continues to progress forward with their church construction, as they plan to expand their fellowship hall and additional storage rooms, adding an office and study, as well as ADA Compliant restrooms, renovations to the current nursery and board room, along with many other details.
Adam Love served as the Site Superintendent for this project and Joel Keister, Vice President, served as the Project Manager throughout the project.
