At a Glance
Dallas is well known for having plenty to choose from when it comes to buying a car and searching multiple dealerships, so it's no wonder the need for more locations continues to rise. In the last 5 years we have created a foothold in this industry and have built, renovated, or added on to locations for Hyundai, Genesis, Cadillac, and Chrysler.

Case Study

How We Delivered

From approved drawings to a finished structural shell, here's how a typical dealership project comes together.

The Challenge

Commercial car dealerships are generally kept rather simple when it comes to structural design, but that does not mean they are without challenges. The design usually includes a showroom, mechanic shop, car wash, and offices for sales and management. The architectural features for these buildings are sleek and modest, so as not to pull your attention away from that new car you're looking to buy. This straightforward building design keeps our design lead times short and our fabrication and erection times very predictable.

Our Approach

We work with the architect and engineer to provide drawings and calculations before starting steel fabrication. Once drawings are approved, fabrication can take anywhere from 4–8 weeks depending on size and complexity. We handle all of our own freight and trucking and communicate our schedule to keep customers aware of when steel deliveries will be arriving. Once the steel is on site, the erection process goes very quickly. Since we have all of our own equipment, the customer isn't waiting on our rentals or cranes to show up. Our operators, riggers, and erectors work seamlessly under the direction of one of our field foremen, making sure the job stays safe and on schedule.

The Outcome

The result is a fully functional structural shell, ready for the framers, glaziers, and cladding to get the building show-ready. Although the steel work is less glamorous on these projects, it is nonetheless important to deliver a quality product, on budget, and always on time!
