CHALLENGE
SOLUTION
For any retailer time is money and with Harbor Freight Tools (HFT) that is no exception. There is a trickle-down effect that we understand where we have a huge impact. The quicker any retailer obtains a building permit, the quicker they can get under construction and the quicker they can open. The quicker they can open, the quicker they can generate revenue and make a profit. HFT opens hundreds of locations a year. With a large volume of locations, time becomes even more critical.
Through our experience working in locations throughout North America, we have streamlined our process to ensure that a permit set of structural engineering calculations and drawings is completed in one week. This has allowed the client to focus on their acquisitions knowing that their design team is supporting them to get these buildings ready to open FAST so that HFT can continue to expand their brand across the nation. Keeping the owner’s needs in mind throughout the design process and working with the full design team to accomplish the goal is paramount to success of large volume of projects.
