Newport Harbormaster New Building

Newport, RI

Newport is a popular tourist destination, and the current Harbormaster Building in Perrotti Park provides staffed public restrooms that are open throughout the year. With an increase in cruise ships docking at Newport’s harbor, an updated facility is needed. Plans are underway to demolish the existing building, including its structural slab and grade beam foundation while the existing piles are left in place for reuse in the new three-level structure.

The design considers seacoast conditions. The exterior walls of the lower level will be constructed with 8-foot cast-in-place concrete penetrated by flood vents to allow the flood waters to enter the lower level. To capture the harbor views, the west elevation features large windows that can withstand high winds.

Ellana served as cost estimator on this project. Our estimate includes pricing for steel, cold-formed metal roof trusses, concrete, metal decking, HVAC, electrical work, plumbing, storm drainage, and fire protection.
