Scope Of Work
Eckman built this new church for the newly combined congregation from Alton and Wolfeboro. In addition to the main sanctuary and choir loft, it has a full kitchen, eight religious education classrooms and a community hall. A bell tower topped by an 81-foot tall spire with a gold leaf cross at the pinnacle graces the building, as do complex exterior brick work and stone arches at the entry and over many windows.
Eckman worked with church officials for one year before construction to help finalize plans and bring the scope within their budget through creative value engineering ideas.
