AMWAY NUTRITION FACILITY - BUILDINGS 31 and 25

Over Erhardt’s history, we have been extremely blessed by the opportunities provided to us by Amway Corporation. In 2010, we were given that opportunity once again. Erhardt has been hired to construct Amway’s future Nutrition Facility. The new facility is a two-story vertical addition and renovation to Amway’s existing Building 31. Once completed, the project will house the manufacturing processes for Amway’s Nutrilite products.

In May, Erhardt began pre-construction services for the project. We were charged with the responsibility of assembling and leading the design team for this unique facility. It became very apparent early in the design process that if we were to meet Amway’s aggressive schedule it would require the project to be designed in phases. A phased release of drawings will allow us to begin construction of the new building while allowing development of the manufacturing processes to continue.

In early November, Erhardt began demolition work on-site in order to be well prepared for construction to begin in December. Erhardt crews are self-performing demolition, concrete foundations, concrete flatwork, general trades, and rough carpentry.
