Design Build & New Construction
Client: Cincinnati Boss Company, Inc.
Location: Elmwood, Ohio

Project:
Cincinnati Boss had a dire need for a new garage building which would provide: storage for maintenance type materials; ability to park its delivery trucks, and provide routine non-critical maintenance on their vehicles. Challenge was to construct a new building taking into account an existing slab and partial foundation curb - left from former building.

Details:
The design solution produced a 2,904 SF. plan with a 16' high exterior metal wall system with two very large (14' x 12') overhead steel doors; are at either end of the building. The doors required their own independent steel framing in order to have them operate independent of the buildings skeleton framework. The slab and foundation were subsequently restructured to be sufficient for new intended use. New steel frame base legs had to be custom designed in order to fit onto a modified concrete foundation.

Further design incorporated basic: new man door; metal siding, wall structure, and roofing systems; panel insulation at walls and roof; new complete electrical power, lighting - interior and exterior with appropriate outlets; installation of four industrial velocity infrared heaters with thermostatic controls; truck repair stalls (lift and pit); public restroom; and secured storage areas.

Unique aspects: rain water disposal system reworked due to increase capacity expected. Existing utilities extended and modified as more were in operation for over fifteen years
