Case Study
The Situation
Owner, David Pacileo wanted to expand his Westbrook, CT business by opening a second location. Pacileo hired Pat Munger Construction Company, Inc. to build a new service center located on Route 80 in North Branford, CT. Shoreline Autobody recently expanded their operation to include a 7,000 SF auto body repair facility in North Branford, CT.
Problem
The Challenges
1
To build a state of the art collision repair facility.
2
To create a unique look for a metal building at an affordable price.
3
To foster the company’s reputation as much more than a stereotypical collision repair shop.
Solution
The Resolutions
1
A state of the art spray booth lighting system eliminates shadows and reveals true colors, which enable workers to ensure pre-accident colors.
2
A down draft spray booth that purifies and externally exhausts fumes along with fire suppression systems create a safe working environment.
3
A drainage system for efficient floor clean up, hot water radiant floor heating, four overhead doors that provide fresh air ventilation, two second floor carpeted offices, full bath and employee break room contribute to excellent working conditions.
Outcome
the final product
This attractive 7,000 sq. ft. Varco Pruden metal building blends two-toned green and tan siding, extended eaves and front entry canopy with a green standing seam roof that is pitched for visibility and strength. A low block wall and color coordinated chain link fence enhance aesthetics. A stone and grass lined swale on the building’s perimeter routes rain water away from the property.
Families feel comfortable in an air conditioned, energy efficient, bright environment that is clean and safe. A welcome area features a reception desk with a marble like laminate counter and wood molding along with a furnished waiting area with juice/coffee bar, show room, bathroom and attractive flooring.
Shoreline Auto Body creates a strong first impression through its new facility. Customers are pleasantly surprised to learn that the building was designed to enable competitively priced services for any vehicle. Shortly after the opening, production quickly ramped up from self-referrals and insurance referrals. The new 70’ x 100’ facility includes two different eave heights. The building incorporates a Leaf Green, standing seam roof with matching trims and a Leaf Green wainscot. The body of the building showcases a blend of Classic Beige and Patrician Bronze color wall panels.
