case study

Tarmak

What’s Involved?

The Tarmak project in Tampa, Florida, was a commercial construction job managed by McCullagh & Scott as the General Contractor. This 39,000-square-foot pre-engineered metal building serves as a warehouse for a direct importer of natural stones, featuring a large showroom, offices, and meeting spaces. The project faced significant challenges due to its location in a FEMA flood zone, requiring dry flood proofing panels for the warehouse openings to prevent water damage. Additionally, the site needed storm chambers and helical piles to ensure stability and drainage.

The interior design includes spacious office areas with sealed concrete flooring throughout the offices. The aesthetic is enhanced by natural paint colors and abundant natural light, creating a bright and welcoming environment. Overall, the project provided ample storage and office space while addressing flood zone challenges and maintaining a functional, modern design.

FAQ

How much do you think this will cost?...or...What is the square foot price?
The cost of commercial construction is very dependent on the type of materials selected along with other choices owners make. That being said, all construction types must pass a plan and cost review in order to be approved by underwriting to ensure that the price point is in line with the open market. If you do not have access to a plan and cost review or an appraisal, please contact us to further review your needs.
Can we fit what we’d like to build?
The Florida Building Code in conjunction with Land Development Code utilizes a matrix to determine what types of buildings can be located in certain types of zoning conditions. If you do not have a FAR calculation readily available, please contact us for better direction.
How long does it take to get a permit?
Common nomenclature refers to having "a permit" as if there were just one permit to obtain from the City or County. This, however, is not entirely accurate in that there are different kinds of building permits and there are multiple government agencies for site work that all need their respective permits in order to proceed with a project. There is also the possibility of needing various levels of re-zoning which is a separate process, but proceeds permitting. The shortest process is 3 months and the longest is 15 months. To better narrow in the time frame please contact us with more details on your project.
