This project was on a fast track for completion from the very
beginning. Our design-build team was a joint effort with Alliance
Contracting Corporation. The Cordish Company had us start the project
in July 2006 and stressed the importance of reopening for business
during 'Speed Week' on February 14th, 2007. The project entailed a
complete redesign of the 25,000 square foot NASCAR restaurant concept
and creating a 1,000 square foot addition for the retail center. The
team of architects, interior designers, engineers, owners, audio-visual
consultants, building officials and contractors all required individual
best efforts to assure this project was completed on time. The
construction documentation was designed and completed within a two
month period. The permits were received within one month. Once the
permits were received, the site was active for almost every minute of
the day until it was completed. As the architect, we visited the site
every other week of construction. Renovation work always creates its
own challenges when the covered items become exposed and conflicts with
design concepts. We were able to create details while at the site and
meet with building officials as required to assure the construction
schedule was not delayed. The effort was tremendous and the outcome is
spectacular. Visit this fun restaurant on your next family vacation to
Orlando.
