The Project

Adaptive commercial build-out of a 7,200-square-foot pre-engineered metal building to serve EquipmentShare — a contractor-focused rental and telematics business — in Richmond Hill, GA. The facility combines a customer-facing showroom, secure warehouse, an installation/tech center for EquipmentShare Track, office support spaces, and a fully fenced equipment yard. Key physical features include 20-foot eave heights, six 16-foot tall overhead doors, a dedicated washing bay, and robust site fencing for secure equipment storage and operations.

  • Multi-program layout in a single PEMB shell: Integrate showroom, warehouse, tech installation center and administrative areas within a single, efficient footprint.

  • Operational efficiency & flow: Provide fast, safe movement of heavy equipment between yard, wash bay, warehouse and service area while maintaining a professional customer experience in the showroom.

  • Durability under heavy use: The building and finishes needed to withstand frequent vehicle and equipment traffic, washdown activities, and outdoor storage conditions.

  • Security & asset protection: The client required a high level of site security for expensive rental equipment and accessories stored on-site.

  • Rapid schedule & cost control: Typical PEMB projects demand tight schedules and cost-effective solutions without sacrificing functionality or brand presentation.

  • Clear functional zoning: Organized the interior with a distinct showroom at the front, adjacent office/support spaces, a central warehouse for storage and staging, and a separated installation center sized and equipped for telematics installation work. This minimized cross-traffic and improved workflow.

  • Heavy-duty access & docking: Six 16′ overhead doors and 20′ eave heights accommodate large equipment and rapid loading/unloading. Door placement optimized circulation from yard to service bay to warehouse.

  • Dedicated washing bay: Designed with appropriate drainage, water-resistant finishes, and equipment to support frequent vehicle/equipment cleaning while protecting the rest of the facility from moisture and dirt.

  • Robust site security: Fully fenced equipment yard with controlled access points, night lighting, and surveillance-ready routing.

  • Durable materials & finishes: Specified industrial-grade flooring, wall protection at high-impact zones, and corrosion-resistant fixtures in wash areas to reduce maintenance and extend service life.

  • Cost-effective PEMB strategy: Leveraged the efficiency of a pre-engineered metal building to control schedule and budget while customizing key interior elements for brand and operational needs.

  • Optimized user experience: A professional, accessible showroom that presents rental options cleanly and supports efficient customer transactions.

  • Streamlined operations: Logical adjacencies and multiple large overhead doors reduced equipment handling time and improved staff productivity.

  • Resilient service environment: Washing bay and installation center designed to isolate fluids, dust and tools from office/showroom areas.

  • Enhanced security & asset protection: Secure perimeter fencing and site planning reduced theft/vandalism risk and improved customer confidence.

  • Low-maintenance detailing: Specified finishes and construction details that tolerate heavy use and minimize downtime for repairs.

  • Operational readiness: EquipmentShare received a turnkey facility that supports rental, installation, and back-office needs in one efficient footprint.

  • Improved throughput: Multiple doors, high eaves and logical workflow allowed faster equipment turnaround, increasing rental availability and revenue potential.

  • Stronger brand presentation: The dedicated showroom and well-organized site gave the client a professional storefront that strengthens customer trust.

  • Reduced lifecycle costs: Durable materials and purpose-built service areas lowered expected maintenance and downtime.

  • Scalable model: The PEMB solution provides an economical, repeatable prototype for future EquipmentShare locations.
