Groundbreaking Ceremony for Paula Hampton State Farm Insurance

Charleston, SC (PRWEB) November 17, 2011

Paula Hampton State Farm Insurance broke ground Friday, September 16, 2011 on its existing site placing the new building closer to the highway with the parking lot in the rear. The new location is designed to preserve the majestic 100-year old Grand Oak trees on the property while allowing for the planting of many more trees and indigenous plants to the area.

During the past ten years, Paula Hamptons State Farm insurance agency has occupied the well-known 1948 West Ashley house with the red roof and has simply out-grown it. After consulting engineers about expanding or adding on a second story, it was found that the homes foundation and structure would not support an expansion. So the solution was to hire Harbor Contracting, LLC to build a new office while demolishing the existing buildings in an environmentally conscious manner. Harbor Contracting and Coast Architects worked with the owner to create and construct a building that is designed well and implements as many green features as possible. Pete McKellar is the owner of Harbor Contracting, LLC and is a certified LEED AP.

The team at the Sustainable Warehouse systematically took apart the structures surrounding the main office prior to the new construction, and will remove the old office after Harbor Contracting completes the new building. The salvaged lumber and building materials will be recycled and sold at a discount at the Sustainable Warehouse located in North Charleston, SC.
