Columbus Construction Company Transforms Auto Dealership

Online, April 11, 2010 (Newswire.com) - A major business expansion of 7,000 sq. ft. just got completed by RICOP Construction Company, a Columbus, Ohio construction company who specializes in Design-Build services. RICOP Construction who builds creative building solutions was named the design build partner for Tansky Toyota Zanesville for their new building addition and image up program for the fall of 2009.

RICOP Construction Company participated in a groundbreaking ceremony in the last week of October 2009, and finished 45 days ahead of schedule. The project included renovation of a building built in 1945, the expansion of the existing showroom, front building image up and new portal, new back offices, and the addition of a service drive through. "To say we did not run into some unforeseen challenges is an understatement" said Don Steen, RICOP's project manager.

Jim Kobunski, Vice President of Tansky Toyota Zanesville, had this to say about RICOP Construction and how we handled the project.
"Right from the start of the project I had heard that RICOP was a great company to deal with from another dealer. I had no idea that they could transform our re-model into such a beautiful facility. Ours was a very old building and we ran into many problems along the way as you normally do. But all was handled with great ease between RICOP and Tansky.

RICOP had a very effective supervisor that was always on top of what was to be done next, always 3 days in advance. Consequently we got into our new building 45 days sooner than anticipated along with a great savings to them and us.
All I can say is thanks for the great job. I would recommend them highly on any other project in the future."

Tansky Zanesville encompasses an additional franchise of Honda adjacent to the Toyota facility. The Toyota sales staff was relocated into the Honda showroom temporarily while the addition and renovation proceeded. Jim Kobunski also added that sales are up dramatically because of the new addition and remodel. RICOP Construction has seen dealer revenues spike as high as 20% after a new build or renovation of their auto dealership.

RICOP recently saved $1m for Straub Honda & Hyundai of Wheeling, WV, on the 2 current new dealerships they are building for them! They actually threw away their original architecture plans! We would engage a dealer considering a new build or renovation to engage RICOP Construction Company - Design-Build Specialists at the very beginning! Dealers will experience a 6-10% savings by engaging us early in the process.

Other value adds that RICOP brings to the table follow. We have our own architect on staff that knows car dealerships!
