This project profile focuses on the Garmin Building 3 renovation project, although the history of P1’s work at Garmin began nearly a decade ago.
It started in 2016, with the construction of Building 5, a new warehouse and manufacturing facility, which gave P1 the opportunity to perform work in all of Garmin’s main campus buildings.
Building 3 was essentially “building a building inside of a building”. P1 originally built Building 5, which became Garmin’s new warehouse and manufacturing facility and once that was completed, the existing warehouse, which was in Building 3, and manufacturing space, which was in Building 1, was relocated to Building 5.
This cleared out Building 3, allowing Garmin to create more much-needed office space. Building 3’s open warehouse design and 40’ ceilings didn’t lend itself to offices, so the plan was to build three floors within the structural constraints of the existing building
P1 single-source trades made the project a success, starting with P1’s Virtual Design & Construction (VDC)detailers, who helped set the pace.
Therefore, P1 was able to perform installations on the HVAC piping, plumbing, and sheet metal scopes equally well.
P1’s Virtual Design and Construction experts were praised for their ability to put, and keep, project schedules on track during multiple Garmin projects.
