Jewett Automotive Design & Construction contracted with Commonwealth Motors for the renovation of Chevrolet dealership

Jewett Automotive Design & Construction has contracted with Commonwealth Motors for the renovation of its Chevrolet dealership. Designed by the team of O'Sullivan Architects and Summit Engineering, the project involves a 2,500 s/f addition to the company's current service shop-a pre-engineered metal building complete with energy-saving insulated metal panel siding which will add six new service bays to the facility. Work also includes heat, plumbing, roofing, painting, and the installation of overhead doors. This marks the fifth project Jewett Automotive has undertaken for Commonwealth Motors. In 2011, Jewett completed two new dealerships for the company-a 28,400 s/f Chevrolet dealership and an extensive, three-phase renovation/addition to the former Chevy facility into the new Commonwealth Nissan dealership. Earlier this year, Jewett provided interior upgrades both to the Nissan dealership and Commonwealth Honda. Jewett Automotive Design & Construction specializes in design/build auto dealership facilities, auto dealership additions, auto dealership renovations and auto dealership fit-ups all across New England—completing more than 60 such projects in the last few years. Other repeat clients include such well-known organizations as the Herb Chambers Companies, the Grappone Automotive Group, the Route 44 family of dealerships, Ford of Londonderry and Watertown Ford.
