SO YOU WANT TO REMODEL A BUS GARAGE...
Faced with rapidly escalating costs and dwindling sources of operating revenues, transit properties have initiated actions to improve productivity at maintenance and operations centers through remodeling and renovation. The decision to remodel existing facilities is generally based on the desire to keep costs low. However, numerous hidden cost factors must be considered when establishing the remodeling program if informed management decisions and realistic estimates are to follow. In addition to normal building systems, code restrictions and requirements, maintenance operation relocation and the construction work around requirements all contribute to overall project costs.
