Foleys Department Store, El Paso, TX

This major expansion project included taking an existing 1970’s era, 125,000 square foot building and converting it to a new 200,000 square foot flagship Foleys Department Store.

Day Construction demonstrated their exceptional communication and leadership abilities on this project, which was on a rigorous schedule. The initial challenge was to bring the existing building up to code and add a penthouse in the first 60 days. Next, to save fabrication time, Day Construction designed the steel for the new addition on site so available, prefabricated material could be used to tie into the existing shell. This ensured the store opening 10 months after starting construction.

To provide real-time information sharing, the project administration, minutes of the meetings, and the RFI and Change Process were transmitted, via the internet, to Day Construction’s Project Management System. Drawing on the team’s collective experience and expertise, Day Construction delivered the Certificate of Occupancy three weeks ahead of schedule.
