Challenge: This was a small space very near a major entrance to this lifestyle shopping center, and there was no rear access. Everything had to be brought inside immediately when delivered. There was also no parking available near the space for our crews.
CPEX Solution: Commercial vehicles parked some distance away to maintain the pristine experience for shoppers. The dumpster was located across the parking lot, and the path to it was picked up constantly to prevent debris from littering the area.
Outcome: By keeping a close watch on the work site and surrounding area, CPEX finished the new hair salon on time and the grand opening happened on schedule.
A landmark lifestyle center in Cumming, GA, Collection at Forsyth is home to many national brands and a preferred destination to many affluent shoppers. Thus it was critical that this space be built without impact to the peaceful ambiance the shoppers here expect.
Standard procedure in any CPEX project is for everything that possibly can – deliveries, trash pickup, stacks of materials – all has to come and go through the back door as to not impact the shopping experience at the front.
There was only one small problem: this space did not have a back door, and it was in a very prominent location an entrance to the shopping center.
Everything had to be carefully planned in order to not create any mess at the front of the building. The trash dumpster could not be put near the space, but had to go across the parking lot. Materials had to be brought inside which meant a small work area got even smaller.
Through all the challenges, the hair salon opened on time without any major issues!
We love seeing a project go as planned!!
