MATT GETS HIS CCCA

IONIC MOTIVATION 4.18.2014

I will be the first to say that it feels so good to sleep-in in the morning. Although even on my first day of vacation I wake up at 5:15AM......not in my nature to sleep late anymore. One of the best parts of a day is the first thing in the morning. So much ahead that you can tackle as (or even before) the sun comes up. I haven't screwed anything up yet so I have a fresh start......yes I know.....the day is early and I will have lots of opportunities for that. But for now.....it's clean. 

Make your choice my friends.

Second best part if the day ....... Is the end......when you lay your head down on the pillow thinking over the great success of the accomplishments that day only to drift off in preparation of another white slate tomorrow.......but that is another post for another day.

Automotive Sales Development Project

Sometimes projects just take a while to get started for whatever reason. It could be financing, site concerns, cost overruns etc. It can be frustrating for an architect to spend time designing a project to see it on a shelf and never get built. We can tell you that this project for Elite Motors really excites us now that has finally moved forward.

An Economic Development project for Virginia Beach this little automotive dealership should end up being the jewel on the blvd. Located just off First Colonial, the site ran across it's fair share of trouble coming out of the ground: most of the site undercut, underground obstacles, other properties utilities running across the property......yep, the unexpected is never a pleasant surprise when it comes to those types of change orders.

I drive by the site just about every morning on the way to work....even on Sunday on the way to church. I get to see the development spring to life each day. The client's current location is just a block away as well. Two facts that the general contractor, CL Pincus is probably so excited about.....lol. At least we get lots of progress photos.....even if they are drive by shots in the morning.

Here are a few progress photos thus far:

The work is moving along quite nice. Check back with us often to see the progress. If you have an automotive project, whether new or renovation, please give IONIC the opportunity to assist.
