Half Way to our New Home
Posted on March 3, 2021
Over a month ago when the Ontario Government closed all construction sites due to Covid-19 a cold shiver went up the collective spines of Peter, Richard and the project managers tasked with completing construction of the Midland Honda new dealership by October 2020. Thankfully, construction resumed two weeks later and the time table was re-balanced in short order. Today the building is fifty percent completed and work is about to commence on the interior space.
One of the most important parts of construction is about to happen in late May, early June. Many concrete trucks will be arriving on site to pour the floors in the Showroom, the Service Drive-in and the Service Shop. This phase of construction will be a little different than what normally occurs. The initial pour is handled by seasoned craftsmen that will level and finish sections of the concrete floors for proper drainage. Many car dealerships have floors created like this. It is functional and usable but it is not hardened with a sealant. What is truly outstanding about the new service floors is that they will be hardened and colored with a liquid product expertly applied by the company Stonhard. The Drive-in Service area will be coated with Stonshield HRI Mortar and the Service Shop floor will have the bullet proof Stonclad GS Mortar applied. Both service areas will use two tones of grey to identify work areas and a bold yellow pathway will be laid out to define where customers can walk safely while visiting the work area to inspect their vehicles.
Customers will be very impressed with the clean finished look of the drive in greeting zone and the technicians’ work area. The red tool storage bays and hoists surrounded by the grey colored floor accented with vibrant yellow will be eye popping for sure!
This meticulous attention to detail is what you will find throughout the Midland Honda new dealership. I will inform you very soon about the amazing car photo booth and car wash that will be part of the building’s success story.
Until next time...
