(August 29, 2018) 鈥� 天美麻豆, a firm providing award-winning construction management at-risk, design-build and general contracting services for a range of commercial and public sector markets, has been selected as the construction manager for the modernization of the Tom Bush Volkswagen dealership in Jacksonville.

The renovation is the latest project by the Tom Bush Family of Dealerships as they continue updating their facilities to better serve their customers. 天美麻豆 is again teaming with R. Wulbern Architect, PA. The two companies partnered to deliver two other successful projects for the Tom Bush Family of Dealerships: the Tom Bush Collision Center and Tom Bush BMW Jacksonville on Atlantic Boulevard.

The Volkswagen dealership on Atlantic Boulevard was Tom Bush鈥檚 first facility in Jacksonville and, until recently, housed both Volkswagen and Mazda brands. The proposed renovations will provide a more open showroom floor and update the exterior to align with the Volkswagen brand. 

The scope of work for the 10,000-square-foot facility includes:

• Creating a redesigned, comfortable customer lounge

• Expanding the showroom, including the addition of a vaulted ceiling to accommodate Volkswagen鈥檚 line of SUVs

• Adding illuminated, exterior metal panel framing to create a 鈥減icture frame鈥� effect across the front of the building

• Reconfiguring the sales offices

• Installing new floor tile, paint, glazing and millwork

• Installing pre-wiring for electric car chargers to accommodate Volkswagen鈥檚 future offerings

The dealership will remain open for business throughout construction, which is expected to be completed in Fall 2018. The dealership plans to host an 鈥淯nder Construction Sales Event鈥� soon.
