Fox Construction Services Solution
Fox Construction Services implemented a comprehensive construction strategy that began with site preparation, excavation, and stormwater management improvements.
New foundations and CMU structural systems were installed to create a durable building structure designed for long-term performance. EPDM roofing systems were incorporated to provide weather protection and reduce long-term maintenance requirements.
Interior and exterior construction included carpentry, stucco, lighting, and architectural sheet metal systems that enhanced both building appearance and functionality.
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems were fully integrated throughout the facility, including a new electrical service designed to support collision repair equipment, office operations, paint systems, compressors, lifts, and future expansion needs.
Simultaneously, portions of the existing facility were renovated to ensure consistency with updated architectural plans and operational requirements.
