The Renovation of this 140,000 s.f. historic landmark
is perhaps the most challenging renovation of its era. This former home
for the Bavarian Brewery sat vacant for over three decades. This period
of unoccupancy took a toll and turned this historic landmark into a
pigeon infested and crumbling dump. The following factors added to the
construction challenges: no existing drawings, historic nature of the
building, deteriorating structural components and environmental contamination.
The estimating and assessment knowledge demonstrated by Megen Construction
Company on this project was referred to as Herculean Task by Cincinnati
Enquirer. We were about to establish a construction budget based on
a single line diagram that stood true until the end of construction.
