Your cultural and entertainment projects demand a perfect balance of imagination and practicality. Our team is focused on your goals, which not only include construction, but ultimately, the creation of memories your visitors will cherish for a lifetime.

The decision to build, expand or modernize cultural attractions is often driven by economic growth, the need to revitalize blighted areas or competition from nearby municipalities. Often, these facilities have challenging urban sites and tightly prescribed timetables and budgets.

We work to:

• Maximize the limited funds available for these projects through value engineering and cost control

• Meet the challenges of space, time and cost, allowing customers to reap long-term economic benefits

• Minimize disruption to traffic and the surrounding business community

• Maintain ongoing operations and revenue-generating event schedules without interruption during renovation and expansion projects

EDGE MOTOR MUSEUM

Along what was once “Auto Row”— a strip of Memphis that was home to several car dealerships and maintenance shops dating back to the 1920s—the former home of Cherokee Motors has been turned into the new home of the Edge Motor Museum. This involved the patch and repair of the glazed exterior tile, new storefront glass windows and doors, lighting, new roll-down door and a new parking lot.

THE GRAND CAROUSEL
