Jost International is a world leader in the commercial trucking industry, providing innovative systems for trucks and trailers. Given their booming industry, their Grand Haven, Michigan warehouse required an addition and renovation of existing space. The warehouse was quickly running out of space for production and testing of their parts, which is where Journey Construction Group comes in. Journey renovated the existing 83,000 SF space, including restrooms, changing rooms, truck docks, and updated the fire suppression system. The 43,600 SF addition added space for storage, production and shipping, featuring a new drive-thru truck drive and shipping office.
Many businesses outgrow their existing warehouse and production space, creating gaps in efficiency and business growth. Many owners and executives are unsure when the right time is to expand or build new. The Journey Team provides real solutions on expanding space, even when production is ongoing. We'll walk you through the process of construction, helping you understand the real pricing and schedule estimates before decision-making begins.
The question most manufacturers ask is how they can expand their warehouse without disruptions to the workplace. This is why Journey works towards building a quick and efficient schedule that allows for ongoing production. We keep safety and quality top of mind, while finding the right solution for every project. A typical industrial project with ongoing workload will phase out construction. Building the addition first, then moving new equipment in before renovating the existing. It could also mean renovating sections quickly in different areas, working around normal hours to ensure smooth completion. Journey makes sure the schedule and phasing plan works with the business, taking into consideration typical hours and production load.
