Orgill Case Study | 19 “Everyone had their areas of expertise, but that didn’t mean that when one team finished their main area of planning they would just pass the baton to the next team and say ‘good luck.’ Everyone was in this from beginning to end.” PhillipWalker, President of Tyndale Advisors Building on Success Throughout any remodeling or renovation project, the physical changes being made to a location create challenges as well as opportunities. From securing permits and approvals from local agencies, to designing the changes that will be made to facilitating the oversight of the construction process, there are a lot of details to be managed. This was certainly the case at Germantown Hardware, where the planning for the scope of the project changed completely on more than one occasion. At first, the project was going to be focused on just retrofitting the existing store on its existing footprint. As the project progressed however, the Orgill, CNRG and Tyndale team were able to secure additional space previously occupied in the strip mall by another business. This required the construction and design plans to change on the fly. Then, a short time later, the team found out they could access even more space in the property (essentially the entire strip center) resulting in another round of changes. Changes on the property itself were also major, including: retrofitting an area that once served as a drive-through carwash, adding entrances, building a mezzanine level and completely reworking the salesfloor. Throughout this entire process, the Orgill, CNRG and Tyndale team were able to leverage their range of insights and experience to streamline the steps of the renovation. “We have a great deal of experience on our team that covers a wide range of the skills needed to facilitate this kind of project, from securing the proper permits and approvals to overseeing design and construction,” Walker says. “While most retailers might undertake a project like this once or twice, our team is involved in this scope of project on a regular basis.” This project oversight and management is another example of how Orgill, CNRG and Tyndale bring their insights and experience to bear helping other retailers complete their projects successfully.
