Apostolic Temple Church, located on Ironwood Drive in South Bend, IN and Architect/General Contractor Ancon Construction will begin Phase 1 of a building project which aims to improve building accessibility. The phased projects will have an initial focus on improving building accessibility.
Phase 1, overseen by Project Manager Ken Wright, will include a new entrance canopy, sloped concrete walk, expanded north lobby, and a new ADA restroom. “One of the most common ministry design challenge is overcoming barriers such as existing stairs/steps, lack of maneuvering clearance for wheel chairs, or original restrooms that do not meet current ADA compliance standards,” explains Ancon Designer Matthew VanSoest. “Solutions to these issues are typically very challenging since we have limited space to work with. We are dealing with existing conditions from the early to mid-1900’s and are trying to upgrade/modify many aspects of the built environment – bringing them to current standards and/or compliance.”

Day 1 Of Demo Underway!
In addition to new construction and renovation we also specialize in tenant improvement (TI) also known as tenant build out. Our demo crew is working on the first of over 50 new workout locations planned for Indiana and southern Michigan. The first location for our new fitness client takes us down to Logansport, IN where we are demoing an 8,000 sqft retail space and re-building to meet our client’s national construction and brand specs. The picture shown was taken after our first day of demo!
Working with national brands and ensuring compliance takes a construction firm with experience. We have worked with many Fortune 500 companies and their construction/brand standards over the years and excel at exceeding their requirements. Our success is based on having licensed in house architects, experienced project managers and dedicated construction crews. Combined with the way we communicate and constantly update our clients, national brands prefer to use ANCON Construction when their business or franchise comes into our region. Who is the new fitness chain you ask? You will have to follow us as we update the project right up until opening day!

Ancon and Goodwill Industries of Michiana are excited to partner on a new Goodwill Store and Career Center near Concord Mall. The new store is in the same shopping center as the planned Martin’s Super Markets store. Work is set to commence this week.
The Goodwill Store and Career Center, designed and to be built by Ancon, will be overseen by Project Manager Doug VonGunten and Field Superintendent Chris Cormican and is expected to be complete towards the end of October.
Debie Coble – President and CEO of Goodwill Industries of Michiana reflected on her experience thus far with Ancon by stating: “Ancon has been there for Goodwill. Goodwill knows that Ancon will deliver as promised. They listen to what we want, and are very good about giving suggestions on ways that we can improve our buildings, while leaving the decision up to Goodwill. It’s the building we want, but with their expertise it’s the building we need. Having Ancon as our partner on our building projects, I don’t have to worry.”
