Construction firm earns award for building design

By The News staff
Martin K. Eby Construction Company was presented with the Design Build Institute of America, Mid-America Chapter Merit Award on Oct. 11. Eby submitted the ICM office building, South Campus Phase I and II, Colwich, for the private sector projects under $15 million.

The project was recognized for its outstanding design-build procedure and integrated teamwork. The project was selected for the award because it exemplified the possibility of design build. The original project, a 16,000-square-foot, two-story building, was changed to a three-story, 24,000-square-foot structure. The additional square footage was requested two months into the project. Eby Construction stayed on budget and maintained the original delivery date.

The first phase was completed in 168 days. The second phase was completed 53 days after the first.
