August 8, 2017-South Bend, IN
Ancon Construction, premier design|build construction firm, announces another high tech robotics clean room project is underway. Ancon served as the architect and builder for this project. Our architectural team collaborated with our client’s engineering team to design a space that is functional, takes into consideration future growth, satisfies HVAC/Humidity/Dust requirements and is aesthetically pleasing.
Our client is a large manufacturing company in South Bend and has asked to remain nameless due to the competitive industry they work in. Our team was able to identify various value engineering options to save on cost and brought a team of engineer’s vision to reality. Often times, when working with a larger team a unified vision can be hard to accomplish. Ancon’s design|build process served to bridge that gap and bring their team together. Our outside perspective brought clarity and moved the project along 30%-40% faster versus their in-house traditional method.

Design has been finished and construction is estimated to take 8 weeks. In addition to this project, we are also working with Lippert Components on a clean room project as well.

Ancon Announces New Hotel Project in South Bend, IN!
South Bend, IN 6/2/17
Ancon Construction, premier design|build construction firm, announces that a new Holiday Inn Express will begin construction on the south side of South Bend. The location will be in the out lot area of the former Kmart/Sears site near the corner of Ireland Road and US 31/Michigan. JSK Hospitality has partnered with Ancon Construction on this project which looks to open April 2018.
The hotel will have 88 rooms and full amenities. In addition to the hotel, there are other future projects being planned on the once vacant site. Ryan Kring, Vice President of Business Development commented, “We are thrilled to begin a partnership with JSK Hospitality. Their organization has grown and they now are in a position to work with design build general contractors like Ancon. As a south side resident myself, I am happy to see this long time vacant area begin to see new life. I believe this project will be the catalyst for future development for the entire site.” Kring went on to say that he can easily envision a future restaurant and perhaps even a brewery. Kring stated, “The location, with visibility from the bypass and direct access on US 
31, provides tremendous exposure and high traffic counts. All things that developers look for when deciding where to build.”
