The design build project allowed Teal to work directly with Ford Land to receive variances for their client from the Ford prototype. The new building has a separate storefront for the parts department to allow customers to walk straight in and order. The building is a “L” configuration versus the standard “T” that has service in the back of the building. The new building footprint allowed for better use of the site and visibility from the busy I-45 corridor in Houston. The structure is Class A steel with an ACM, glass, and concrete façade. The building has a 29-bay service department fully air-conditioned with a separate four bay detail area outside. Customer comfort and convenience is prominent in the design of the dealership with a centrally themed layout. We constructed the building while a temporary dealership was being ran on the same site. Teal worked with the Owner on logistics during preconstruction and updated logistics plans throughout the construction.
