Bel-Con Design-Builders Awarded Contract for New Belleville Agricultural Society Facility

August 15, 2024

Belleville, Ontario - Bel-Con Design-Builders is thrilled to announce that we've been chosen by the City of Belleville to design and build the new Belleville Agricultural Society Facility! This exciting project marks a significant step forward for the city's agricultural community.

The bidding process involved 4 firms, whose submissions were judged by a planning team from the City of Belleville and the Belleville Agricultural Society on a combination of factors, including design, project delivery team, design delivery plan, construction delivery plan, and proposed price. The highest overall score was awarded to Bel-Con's bid.

“We’re incredibly proud to be part of this project,” says Tom Gunsinger, a co-owner of Bel-Con Design-Builders. “The new facility will be a tremendous asset for the Belleville Agricultural Society, offering them a modern and versatile space to host events, meetings, and other activities.”

Spacious Design with Sustainable Features

Spanning over 36,000 square feet, the new building will provide ample space for a variety of uses. The design will incorporate a state-of-the-art Butler Building® from Butler Manufacturing, renowned for its durability and longevity.

Environmentally Friendly Focus

Sustainability is at the forefront of this project. The completed Butler Building® will feature the company's exclusive MR24® roof system and TLS™ roof insulation system, both known for their energy-saving properties. These features will translate to a more comfortable and cost-effective space for the Agricultural Society.

Collaboration for Success

Bel-Con is looking forward to collaborating with the City of Belleville on this significant project, which represents the culmination of efforts to create a modern, long-lasting and functional facility for the Agricultural Society.
