In 2017, Ancon Construction designed and built a new addition for Bennington Marine in Elkhart, IN. The 57,500 square foot addition allowed Bennington to increase production from 50 boats to 55 boats a day. Included in the addition were a new R & D space, added production space, and employee breakroom. The addition was completed without losing one hour of production time. Coordination with the facility manager and timing of milestone phases of the project allowed the existing building to continue production with no shutdown throughout the entire construction phase.

Ancon provided design-build services for the building envelope and site work and managed these fast-track projects. The projects all utilized Butler’s multi-story structural system and Butler MR-24 standing seam roof systems erected by Ancon’s steel crew. All 3-story projects ranging in size from 42,000 to 125,000 square feet.
Green Considerations:
- 100% of stormwater retained on site.
- Site balanced to keep 100% of fill on site.
- Concrete pavement is used to reduce the heat island effect and aid site lighting.
- Energy-efficient envelope with groundwater source heat pumps
- Retention ponds utilized for stormwater retentions.
- Butler steel structure and roof made from recyclable materials.
