Updating a Local Brewery During a Global Pandemic

Lil Beaver Brewery : Bloomington, Illinois

PROJECT SIZE & COST

7,770 square feet | $150,000

THE CHALLENGE
The client wanted to expand their brewery to include a patio seating, as well as indoor seating. They needed HVAC system designs for both areas. However, this renovation occurred in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in equipment supply chain issues. The client also needed the patio open immediately in order to continue operations under the COVID-19 restaurant restrictions.

 

KED SOLUTION : Expediting to Meet the Brewery’s Needs
We were able to complete the project within four weeks, allowing the brewery to resume operations as quickly as possible. We expedited lead times by ordering all necessary equipment at the beginning of the design process, well in advance of installation to account for the additional wait time. The brewery now offers temperature-controlled indoor and outdoor dining options, bringing increased capacity and revenue to the business.
