American Factory Direct Gonzales // 34,000 SF // Ground Up Furniture Store and Showroom

This is the fourth showroom we have constructed for this repeat client. The space encompasses a ground-up 34,000-square-foot pre-engineered building by Butler Manufacturing, which includes a 30,000-square-foot furniture and mattress showroom. Through our design-build services in collaboration with Crump Wilson Architects, we were able to expedite the project's delivery, completing it in just five months. This allowed the client to meet their anticipated opening date for maximum revenue opportunities.

The pre-engineered building structure was ordered prior to the commencement of construction to ensure the expedited delivery date. It featured an MR-24 standing seam roofing system, Butler Rib metal wall panels, a facade comprising a combination of stucco, an aluminum storefront system, and stone veneer, painted exposed decking, and a ductless HVAC system.

Throughout this project, we recognized the critical importance of coordinating the final furniture/fixture plan for a furniture showroom to streamline the project's schedule. This plan played a crucial role in confirming the locations of electrical floor boxes before the slab on grade was placed, the placement of lighting fixtures before overhead rough-ins, and the placement of various floor finishes across different furniture settings.
