renovation of Woodmont Country Club’s
clubhouse has transformed a fifty-year-old
clubhouse into a spectacular space where
members can prepare for a round of golf, enjoy a meal with
friends or celebrate a special occasion.
The country club, located in Rockville, Maryland, built its
original clubhouse in 1949, adding on to it in 1981 and
1986. A few years ago members decided the structure
needed updating and, in December 2013, they chose CWC
for the work. The project scope included renovation of
the entire clubhouse, the demolition of a portion of the
building and construction of a 15,000 square foot addition,
as well as the demolition of the old pool pavilion and the
construction of a new one. The original contract value was
$20.5 million but, at Woodmont’s request, CWC performed
value engineering to reduce the cost to $18.5 million.
Woodmont was eventually able to add another $2.3 million
back into the project.
Because of permitting delays, CWC started its work with
the demolition of the pool pavilion in February 2014.
Renovation of the clubhouse began at the end of March
