This project allowed the consolidation of Southeastern Machine & Tool from several locations into a single facility to create the east coast manufacturing, distribution and administration facility.

Complimenting over 6,000 square feet of office space is a 150,000 square foot production center. As part of this facility, 10 truck docks and a fully-interior truck receiving well with bridge crane were required for the unloading of raw materials and the handling of finished goods. The precision fabrication of custom electrical equipment cabinets involved paint lines, drying ovens, and other processes which required the design and programming for specialized ventilation, air conditioned and environmental control systems.

EDA's services on this project were to represent and be consultant to the ultimate owner and purchaser of this design/build-to-suit/fast track project. EDA was responsible for monitoring the design/build contract for the manufacturing building and office shell and for providing design and layout services, overhead conveyance system, and overall production flow within the facility. Construction started in September and was ready to occupy by the end of the same year.
