Ephrata Church of the Brethren – Ephrata, PA

This project involved a major renovation of the interior of the church including the sanctuary, a new welcome center, kitchen and classroom renovations. Ames also built an addition for a new vestibule and portico and enclosed the existing portico to create a new conference room. Ames performed this work on a cost+ basis. We were able to help the church realize significant savings over the original estimate which allowed them to use the extra funds to refurbish their parking area.
