How to bid on the Kerwin Baptist Church renovation in Kernersville

What the project includes

This construction IFB is for converting a 1970s-era school and gymnasium in Kernersville into a 1,100-seat facility. The work includes a new porte-cochere and entry lobby, hospitality space, restrooms, stair towers, an elevator, and new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.

The project also includes an approximately 2,500-square-foot coffee bar and gathering area. Site, civil, and traffic-related improvements are anticipated to be limited. This may suit construction firms able to take on renovation work involving building systems and public-facing spaces.
