Our Approach

We understand that owners are often juggling tight OEM-driven opening dates, complex equipment packages, and phasing work around active sales and service operations. Our automotive team, therefore, focuses heavily on preconstruction with clear programming, quantified scope, aggressive schedules and budgets.

Our project managers are engineers who stay with the job from preconstruction and initial pricing through turnover, using detailed constructability reviews to engineer value and reconcile brand standards, throughput goals, and provide high-low cost options. We commit to an upfront budget and manage the risk. A national network of prequalified automotive subcontractors and direct relationships with key suppliers help us secure competitive pricing and long-lead items like electrical gear, car wash systems, and service equipment to ensure the earliest possible completion date.

Throughout construction, owners get top notch communication with real-time visibility into progress milestones through our digital project management tools. The result is a predictable build that opens on time, reflects the brand, and is designed around efficient sales, service, and operational and production needs.

“ARCO simultaneously built our 60,000 SF Hyundai and luxury Genesis dealerships. It was by far the best construction experience I’ve been involved with. I was impressed by everything from the process to the in-depth industry knowledge of the ARCO team. They have a deep understanding of our operations and used that to help bring ideas as well as streamline communication within our internal team as we approached the grand opening. Their approach to building dealerships is like hitting the easy button. They manage it all, so I can focus on running the business.”
