ST. MARGARET'S THRIFT STORE

Owner: St. Margaret’s Thrift Store
Architect: Chesmore/Buck Architecture
Completion: April 2001

Charter’s close collaboration with the project team on this job meant the owners got exactly they wanted despite a tight and unwavering budget.

Crews worked closely with the owner and architect to value engineer construction of this 6,000 SF building that serves as the St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church thrift store. Careful consideration was given to the excavation, framing, siding, HVAC, plumbing and electrical aspects of the job. With a fixed price contract and Charter’s review of constructability issues before the project started, the church avoided costly change orders.

Since construction work necessitated the closure of the thrift shop, Charter employed an aggressive construction schedule so that fundraising activities could resume as quickly as possible. The job was completed on time and on budget.

Upon completion of the thrift shop project, the owner hired Charter to renovate and replace the church’s sanctuary and offices on their Bellevue campus.
