Roger Williams auto dealer replacing Weatherford facility
Speed Fab-Crete has broken ground on a 60,000-square-foot Roger Williams auto dealership in Weatherford.
Construction is expected to be completed in April 2016, with the dealership offering Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram brands at 1102 Washington Drive along Interstate 20. The facility will replace the existing Roger Williams Auto Mall at 1015 Fort Worth Highway, also in Weatherford.
“Weatherford is a proud small-town community with a rich and celebrated history that has seen unparalleled growth in the past two decades,” said David Bloxom, president of Speed-Fab Crete, commenting in a news release.
“We are honored to be part of this notable project that will reap positive economic benefits to the city for years to come,” Bloxom said.
The new dealership’s exterior will feature Speed Fab-Crete’s high-strength precast concrete walls, cast stone, metal accents and floor-to-ceiling panoramic glass windows.
Interior amenities will include 25 service bays and car wash facility. Energy-efficient features will be incorporated throughout, emphasizing water efficiency, conservation of energy and natural resources, and reuse of materials.
The new dealership is the largest project in a companywide upgrade of Roger Williams’ Weatherford auto facilities, all of which are being built by Speed Fab-Crete and designed by Callahan & Freeman Architects.
Rounding out the project team are Fort Worth-based Callahan Structural Engineering Inc. as structural engineer; Arlington-based Fratto Engineering Inc. as mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineer; and Grapevine-based Kirkman Engineering as civil engineer.
A 3,700-square-foot expansion of the existing Roger Williams Collision Center also is under construction at 1405 Fort Worth Highway at Industrial Street. Business operations will continue during construction, which is slated to be complete in August. The expanded Collision Center will include new equipment, a training center and room to house more than 20 vehicles.
In addition to Speed Fab-Crete and Callahan & Freeman Architects, the Collision Center expansion project team includes Callahan Structural Engineering Inc. as structural engineer and Hulsey Engineering of Lillian as mechanical, plumbing and electrical engineer.
