Jewett Construction designs building addition for Ira BMW
Jewett Construction is currently constructing a building addition to Ira BMW of Stratham, a full service BMW dealership.
The project includes a 34' x 70' 1-1/2 story addition, where the first floor will serve as an enclosed controlled environment (heat & AC) service write up/drive through area. The second floor mezzanine will have a concrete floor, light gauge framing, steel framed roof trusses and metal, standing seam sloped roof. This space will house a conference room, offices and storage areas. An enclosed glass walkway will be built extending from the new service write-up addition to existing parts/showroom and renovated customer waiting areas.
A second 36' x 70' single-story addition to the service bay is also being constructed. The addition will also house 4 new service bays in a complete controlled environment.
The design was provided by Jewett Construction as well as Kimball Chase of Portsmouth, NH and subcontractors such as MAS-CON; Gosselin Steel; Steel Elements; Marvell Plate Glass; CRP Contract Flooring and Longchamps Electric are involved in the project.
