Basney Honda

We performed an in-depth site plan and engineering analysis to confirm that the existing Basney site would accommodate the new Honda requirements and the City of Mishawaka’s new storm water drainage requirements.

• Ancon’s architects suggested improvements and enhancements to the Honda Plans, managed design meetings, and implemented drawing changes across departments, while still meeting the Honda standard building requirements and the project budget.

• Ancon’s project manager suggested a construction phasing plan that would allow the dealership to remain open and productive while still maintaining the project schedule.

• Negotiated favorable parking, curb cuts, and landscaping requirements with the City of Mishawaka.

• Performed cost-benefit analysis during design meetings, which compared the renovation and addition solution with the teardown and build new solution.

• Evaluated green alternatives for the site, building, geothermal heating, and equipment.

• Implemented an engineered sub-surface storm water retention system to allow maximum use ofthe  property for paved parking and vehicle display.

• Provided new energy-saving site lighting fixtures.

• Utilized precast concrete exterior solutions to speed up construction and reduce the project’s impact on the business.

• Coordinated all fixtures, furniture, signage, image and graphics packages.
