Dick Scott Chrysler Jeep Dodge

Dealership Showroom, Expansion and Renovation, Plymouth, Michigan
This project involved a 3,900 SF expansion and a 20,000 SF renovation of the Dick Scott Chrysler Jeep Dodge dealership’s showroom. The project also included extensive exterior façade upgrades. To overcome the challenges of on-going sales activities and a site filled with new vehicle inventory, phased construction segments, off shift work periods and “just in time” material deliveries were employed to minimize adverse impacts to the dealership’s on-going business. The project was divided into three major phases, with the last phase broke into three sub-segments. The first phase consisted of the building’s expansion and the construction of temporary “hotel” space for the sales staff within the addition. The second phase consisted of renovations to the existing showroom and the construction of permanent sales support areas. The third phase entailed three work segments that involved the construction of the exterior auto display patio areas around the perimeter of the showroom and the exterior coating of the attached service shop.
