The Mullan Contracting Company has captured an Excellence in Construction Award from the Associated Builders & Contractors (ABC) Baltimore Chapter for the completion of renovation activities on the Norris Acura West dealership in Ellicott City. Owned by Norris Automotive Group and located at 8559 Baltimore-National Pike in Howard County, the dealership offers a wide variety of new and preowned cars, trucks and SUVs under the Acura brand, as well as an on-site repair facility.
ABC Baltimore annually recognizes “the best of Baltimore construction” at an award ceremony that judges entries against a discrete set of standards and customer satisfaction metrics. According to ABC, “every aspect of a project must be truly excellent to receive an award.”
The scope of this project entailed the renovation of an existing two-story 25,000 square foot structure, including the demolition of approximately 4000 square feet of space, followed by the new construction of three separate spaces totaling more than 7000 feet of space. Norris Acura West utilized the new square footage to enlarge its showroom area, as well as adding new sales offices.
Several years ago, Mullan Contracting renovated a 22,000 square foot building owned by Norris Automotive Group and transformed the structure into a new automobile dealership. The building, which was unused and unoccupied for approximately six years, required the updating of all HVAC and lighting systems to existing standards and a comprehensive interior renovation.
“We are extremely proud about this construction project, which was differentiated by the extra effort we made in maintaining a safe and secure environment for customers and employees throughout the process,” explained Joseph Rode, President of The Mullan Contracting Company. “Customers often avoid a construction area and we did not want our work to negatively impact traffic and sales. We took deliberate measures to keep the entire area clean and inviting to minimize disruptions.”
