ICI finished the complete renovation of

an existing, 14,000 SF, service and parts

building and the construction of a new,

7,000 SF, showroom/office building for

this new BMW MINI Dealership within

a very tight 5-month schedule.

Renovation of the existing space included

the installation of new underground

plumbing systems, slab-on-grade

concrete, non-load-bearing masonry

walls, new mechanical and electrical

systems, roof deck insulation, overhead

doors and vitrified (clinker) ceramic tile.

After demolition of the existing

showroom, construction of the new

addition began with installation of

concrete foundations and the erection of

a new steel building structure with slab-

on-grade concrete and a TPO membrane

roofing system.

The north side of the addition is

comprised of full-height (20+ feet) glass

curtainwall and exterior aluminum

composite panel cladding. The finished

space features plastic laminate cabinets

with solid surface countertops, interior

aluminum and glass storefront partitions,

acoustical ceiling tile systems, stained

concrete flooring, ceramic tile, and

carpet flooring.

As Construction Manager for Fields Auto

Group, ICI has completed more than 20

auto dealership projects since 1994.

In February 2011, ICI completed

construction of a new 27,500 SF, Volvo

Dealership in Northfield, Illinois. This

dealership, ICI’s 20th project with Fields

Auto Group, is recognized by the United

States Green Building Council as a

LEED Silver Certified facility.

The first of its kind in the U.S., this

dealership incorporates many unique

features which increase the sustainability

of the building, including wind turbines,

a rain water harvesting system, solar

panels and an “eco-garden,” to name a

few.

During construction, ICI implemented

a comprehensive Construction Waste

Management Program and was able to

achieve our goal of diverting 95% of

all construction debris from the waste

stream.

Our administrative staff kept detailed

records on all materials used on this

project. At project completion, the

volume of recycled content used in

building materials was over 26% and the

volume of regional materials (extracted

and manufactured within 500 miles) was

above 40%. Factoring in construction

waste, the project earned six points for

these credits alone, which includes two

points for Exemplary Performance.

The Roesch Family’s Ford Dealership

in Bensenville was in need of updates

and an image overhaul. Because of

International Contractors’ long-standing

partnership with the dealership owner,

the Roesch Family looked to ICI to

provide a solution.

The Owner outlined their budget and

project timeline upfront. To meet these

aggressive goals, ICI advised the client to

opt for a Design / Build project delivery

method. ICI issued a Request for

Proposal from various auto dealership

architects and worked with the owner to

select The DePalma Group.

The project consists of demolition of the

existing showroom and the installation

of a new reinsforced curtainwall system

for the new showroom. The expansion

features a new 30’ tall by 165’ wide Ford

Brand Wall clad with composite metal

panels and a 24’ tall Ford Brand Wall

Entry Tower also clad with composite

metal panels. The new showroom

incorporates porcelain tile throughout

the entire floor.

Additionally, the office spaces were

renovated and the mechanical systems

were replaced. The project was completed

in May 2013.

Glenview, Illinois

ICI completed all preconstruction and

site work for the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep

Dealership in “The Glen” in Glenview

Illinois in 2004. The project was then

put on hold for several years. After the

hiatus, Fields Auto Group once again

turned to ICI for the completion of the

project and construction is currently

underway.

The facility is being constructed on what

was originally intended to be a 6.125

acre detention area for the adjacent retail

complex. Therefore, ICI went to extreme

measures to construct a building pad

suitable for construction of the facility.

ICI prepared a Soils Import/Export

Cost Analysis Report and recommended

a change in the planned elevation to

provide a cost savings of $450,000. Site

work included the installation of 137

caissons at a bearing elevation of -20

ft. Additionally, ICI has installed the

facility’s stormwater detention system,

made up of 2400 lineal feet of 8 foot

diameter detention pipe.

The building is a stucco outer finish

and will feature a massive glass curtain

wall. Design development plans call

for an interior constructed of high-end

millwork and finishes under 20+ foot

vaulted ceilings. A large showroom,

waiting area, cafe, executive offices,

service area and parts department are all

included in the plans for this 42,000 SF

auto dealership.

Fields Auto Group purchased an existing

building and a vacant parcel of land ad-

jacent the property. The dealership own-

ers turned to ICI to renovate the existing

building, expand onto the western edge

of the building and also construct a stand

alone building on the edge of the prop-

erty. Additionally, ICI added 140 new

parking space and placed associated site

utilities - landscape, paving and curbs.

Within the addition, ICI constructed an

service center with eight bays and added

and new tool room, parts room elevator,

training center and an expansion of a

2-level parts storage area.

The separate new building is an auto-

matic car wash and a new 4-bay prep

center. Lastly, within the existing build-

ing, ICI remodeled the general offices

and expanded the service manager’s of-

fice area.

By carefully coordinating construction of

this 36,422 SF addition and renovation

project into 5 Phases, ICI was able to

complete the project while the dealership

maintained full facility operation.

In Phase 1, ICI’s team replaced the

existing 800 amp transformer with a new

1200 amp device to accommodate the

building’s need for more power. Phase

2 involved site improvements, including

the installation of a double-stacked storm

water detention containment unit on a

1.63 acre footprint and a new parking

lot.

During Phase 3, ICI expanded the

service department, which included the

service reception area, service advisor’s

area, retail boutique, tool room, parts

department, 6 quick service stalls, 3

programming bays and 18 service bays.

Phase 4 was the new service reception

lane, which allows for easier access to the

service department. The reception lane

is stamped concrete made to look like

natural stone. ICI also installed direct

and indirect lighting in order to create

a softer look. In Phase 5, ICI replaced

the tile in the existing service department

with the same clinker brick used in the

new area. In addition, ICI upgraded the

Millwork in 5 offices to include cherry

wood and stainless steel with glass

accents.

The new Fields BMW dealership is now

65,140 SF. After completion, ICI was

contracted to complete the renovation of

the existing 11,000 SF Showroom.

ICI constructed this dealership in three

phases in order to accommodate on-

going operations within the nearby the

existing dealership. The new facility

was constructed within 10 feet of the

existing, fully-operational, building.

Phase I consisted of general site work

and the building of a new parking lot to

hold inventory.

Phase 2 was the construction of a new

38,000 SF dealership which consists

of showroom customer service lounge,

offices and a service department. The

service department has 12 auto bays,

four truck bays, one wash bay and one

prep bay.

Phase 3 demolished the existing facility

and created another parking lot.

The original Dodge dealership remained

fully operational throughout construction

of the new facility. Additionally, the client

was able to maintain use of their used car

and inventory lots for the duration of

the project. The coordination, planning

and teamwork that existed between the

dealership and ICI played a major role in

this accomplishment.

Through a variety of value engineering

initiatives, Chrysler Realty Corporation

realized nearly $45,000 in cost savings.

ICI completed the project at a final cost

of just over $6 Million.

Today this facility has become a Ziegler

Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge dealership.

Chrysler Corporation brought FIAT

back into the United States for the first

time in 25 years and Fields Motorcars

opened the first dealership in Illinois.

In coordination with construction

completed on a new Fields Volvo

Dealership in Northfield, IL, the new

FIAT dealership moved into an existing

location in Highland Park, previously

occupied by Volvo. ICI’s ability to

develop and effectively coordinate the

schedules of these two projects was crucial

in allowing for a smooth transition.

The scope of work for the fast-track FIAT

project included complete demolition of

the façade storefront, interior finishes

and existing signage, immediately after

the Client’s transition from the space.

Complete renovation of the showroom

and other sales / customer areas took

place within a non-stop, eight (8)

week, schedule. To ensure a quick

transformation, ICI coordinated with

Fields Motorcars and JRB Group

architects during preconstruction to

identify, coordinate, and place orders for

FIAT approved materials.

This 36,910 SF building includes a full-

service cafe, theatre room, fitness center

and patio deck. Based merely on three

early design drawings and a soils report,

ICI was able to accurately forecast the

budget for this project. In fact, the final

construction cost, at $6.5 Million was

within 4% of the design budget. This

budgeting allowed the owner to obtain

financing and ICI to tighten the schedule,

bid the project to trade subcontractors

and begin construction as the design was

being completed.

Because of schedule constraints,

ICI established a fast-track phased

construction sequence and worked

with the Village of Glencoe closely to

coordinate interim permitting. This

allowed for site grading and paving to be

completed prior to the winter months.

Additionally, sizing and coordination

of electrical utilities and placement of

primary service to a new transformer

were allowed without complete electrical

drawings.

Five thousand cubic yards of unsuitable

soil was removed and an underground

detention system was installed to

accommodate an additional parking lot.

The fast-track schedule allowed trade

contractors to work through the

winter, saving months on the schedule

and thousands of dollars in General

Condition costs.

Over the past several years Fields

Auto Group, JRB Architects and ICI

have collaborated on numerous car

dealerships. The 33,240 SF Land Rover

Dealership in Eatonville was completed

for $5.5 million within a 10 month

project schedule.

The dealership features a contemporary

interior and exterior design with the

added amenities of a customer lounge,

patio and Land Rover off-road test track

with water feature.

The service area is particularly unique

featuring 17 service bays, one alignment

rack and three detail bays. Energy

efficient, high speed motion sensors

activate the bay doors when a vehicle

approaches. The maintenance free floors

are poured, dyed with a concrete finish,

and then sealed with a buffering polish.

During the preconstruction phase,

ICI provided over $110,000 in value

engineering options. Also during design,

ICI and JRB Group worked closely in

the redesign of the shop light fixture

package. T8 flourescent light fixtures

were installed, reducing energy usage.

Furthermore, an environmentally safe,

filtered, underground runoff system was

developed conserving usage of public

wastewater treatment facilities.

The Land Rover and Jaguar Dealership in

Waukesha, Wisconsin project consisted

of an expansion onto an existing Volvo

Dealership to accommodate space for

the two new dealers. Additionally, ICI

renovated the existing Volvo showroom

and service area and constructed a new

outlot building for car wash and prep

bays.

The schedule presented ICI with

several challenges. Among them, design

documents were not available until the

fall, yet site work needed to be complete

prior to the winter ground freeze. To

further complicate the project, site work

needed to be completed while the Volvo

remained operational. Additionally, the

construction of the infrastructure went

through 0 degree weather by enclosing

the structure area by area. Despite these

conditions, the project was delivered in

the spring as promised. pRoJect DeLiveRy

Alucobond aluminum panels and clear-

anodized, “low-E” aluminum storefront

demonstration course, pond feature, 24’

tall concrete retaining wall system and

auto display pads.

The interior features wood, glass and

In the service area, data connections were

run to each technician center and the

area was heated with infrared units. Each

service bay is equipped with telescopic

ventilation attachments to evacuate

car exhausts. HVAC for the facility is

provided by three roof-top air units with

a VAV control package.

Value engineering alternatives saved

the client over $50,000. They included

adjusting excavation depths; changing

retaining wall specifications; specifying

alternative retaining and metal wall

finishes; and choosing alternate

HVAC and lighting controls. All were

accomplished without comprising the

functionality and soundness of the

SAAB DealershipROLAND GARTNER

Tinley Park, illinois

Downers Grove, illinois

ICI was contracted by Gartner SAAB to

construct two nearly identical dealerships

simultaneously; one in Downers Grove

and the other in Tinley Park, Illinois.

The 16,000 SF Downers Grove site

contained two previously occupied

buildings - a hotel facility and a retail

structure. To serve as a temporary sales

and service center during construction,

the retail building was brought up to

plumbing, ADA and sanitary codes and

emergency exits and a fire alarm were

added. The hotel was demolished to

make way for the new building.

The 14,000 SF Tinley Park facility

was located on three acres of open

land on busy 159th Street. Because

the projects were nearly identical and

being constructed simultaneously, ICI

streamlined shop drawing preparation

and engineering costs were reduced. ICI

and the owner worked together, electing

to Design/Build the MEP and Fire

Protection Systems, thus reducing cost

and schedule further.

ICI worked diligently to determine the

availability and costs of various materials

and upgrade options, allowing the owner

to make educated choices throughout

the process.

Design incorporated millwork, fixtures

and signage requirements specific to

SAAB. Both barrel and vaulted ceilings

have been installed and varying roof

elevations customize the design.

and completed the 2,400 SF build-out

on-time and budget.

Night work included demolition of the

existing showroom floor in preparation

for the build-out. The area’s original felt

ceiling was covered in durable plastic

to protect it from any dust or potential

damage.

ICI installed an armature wall display

and ceramic tile to complete the desired

Initially, the Roesch Chrysler dealership

and Service Center were in two separate

but adjacent buildings. ICI was assigned

the task of demolishing the Chrysler

showroom while keeping the service area

intact and functioning. This required

disconnecting utility services to the

showroom while retaining them in the

service building.

The new, 2-level showroom encompasses

24,250 SF and is constructed of masonry,

steel and glass.

Alucobond panels were installed over

the masonry to provide a decorative

and contemporary look to the building’s

exterior. These, along with a 28-foot glass

curtain wall, added to the appeal of the

final product.

Decorative and durable porcelain tile

was installed throughout. Handrails

of ornamental wire mesh enhance the

newly installed staircase to the service

area as well as the showroom entry area.

Executive offices are located on the

mezzanine overlooking the showroom.
