Designed by O’Sullivan Architects, Inc., the project involved 5,700 s/f of interior and exterior showroom renovations to comply with the manufacturer’s image upgrade requirements. Interior work included nighttime demolition to accommodate those working in existing offices, construction of additional offices and bathrooms, new flooring and ceilings, and finishes.

Exterior upgrades included new ACM and the installation of the iconic Ford tower, necessitating reinforcement of the existing structure to accommodate anticipated wind load. Challenges included maintaining safe access for employees for the duration of the project, as the occupied offices were only accessible through the areas under construction.

This marks the fourth project Jewett Construction has undertaken for this client. Other jobs include a renovation and addition to the same dealership in 2014, an addition and renovation to the Watertown Ford dealership in 2011, and a renovation of the Ford of Londonderry facility in the spring of that year.

Jewett Construction, an official Butler Builder, is a family-owned design-build/construction management firm specializing in automotive, commercial and industrial projects throughout the Northeast. Its clients include such well-known organizations as SIGSAUER, Kennebunk Savings Bank, the Bean Group, and the Exeter Area YMCA.
