Concord Country Club was founded in 1930, nestled on a hill overlooking Concord and the Capital building. Originally only a nine hole golf course, Concord Country Club added the back nine in the mid 1970’s with an update to the fairways and holes in the late 1980’s which created a course with unique fairways and a clubhouse with a historic background.
Concord Country Club’s mission is to enrich the lives of its members by providing a high quality, private golf and country club experience that is fiscally responsible. The current construction is phase one of a plan to bring the club members added benefits while keeping the history and mission at the forefront.
Phase two is in the planning stages and will begin in the fall of 2013, scope to include a new bar, grill and locker room areas.
Currently construction is underway for the addition to the clubhouse. 95% of the framing is complete and the building is now weathertight. Roofing has begun, exterior trim and siding has started.Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing are just about to begin. Bruss Construction is looking for a completion date in the spring as planned.
Some surprises have been encountered as is typical with older buildings in construction; you don’t really know what you are getting into until you have begun. The as built drawings called out six inch existing sanitary lines but as construction began it was found that they were only four inches. Work started immediately to ensure current code compliance and all sanitary lines were upgraded to six inches. Also, the foundation was found to be above what the new finished floor elevation would be upon completion.
Excavation and concrete underpinning was performed to bring the footing elevation below the finish floor and to maintain the structural integrity of the existing foundation. This is a great example of true team collaboration to ensure exceptional quality throughout the project.
The project team includes: Bruss Construction as the construction managers, Andrew Weaver as the architect, Foley Buhl Roberts and Associates as the structural engineer, Yeaton Associates as the mechanical engineer with Oliver Mechanical Inc., and Masse Electrical Contractors.
