Crest Hummer

Showroom, Parts, and Service Addition

Doster was selected to construct Crest Hummer of Birmingham’s new dealership. The project included the construction of a new 16,360 square foot showroom for the Hummer vehicle and the addition of a new 10,000 square foot parts storage area and six new service bays to the existing Crest Cadillac facility.

The Hummer showroom design called for an open showroom area framed by an exposed structural steel skeleton, in filled with glass. With the help of the architect, structural engineer, and the supplier, the entire structural steel package was fast-tracked through detailing, submittal, and fabrication phases. This fast-tracked schedule was accomplished despite the incredible complexity of the structure; radius beams around the perimeter of the building, with most of the steel architecturally exposed steel.

The project was special due to the innovative and challenging construction methods, materials used, unique design, aggressive schedule, and critical phasing requirements. The project was successfully completed within budget and ten days ahead of the contracted completion date.
