Jobbers Equipment brings shop layout, equipment planning and budgeting into one conversation so that when it's time to build or remodel, everything lines up: workflow, safety, timing and return on investment.
Click any step to explore what Preconstruction looks like at that stage.
In this stage, Jobbers Equipment looks at what your operation looks like today and what it should look like in three to five years. We discuss vehicle volume, service mix, cycle times and the bottlenecks you are dealing with now.
From there, we define concrete targets: how many bays you need, which types of lifts, what critical equipment and how much future flexibility your shop should have. You walk away with a clear vision of your next shop before you spend a dollar on construction.
We take your drawings, sketches or even photos of your current shop and turn them into a functional layout. Jobbers Equipment positions lifts, alignment systems, tire and wheel equipment, compressed air and lubrication strategically to reduce walking, waiting and congestion.
We plan vehicle and technician flow, safety zones and storage areas so every square foot works harder for you. The layout is delivered ready to share with your architect or general contractor.
It's not about filling the shop with equipment — it's about choosing what actually fits your vehicle mix and services. Jobbers Equipment helps you select lifts, compressors, lubrication systems, exhaust extraction and more with a focus on reliability and serviceability.
Together, we decide which items should be handled as Owner Furnished, Owner Installed (OFOI) and which should be bundled into the construction contract. This approach optimizes total cost, lead times and your control over key brands and models.
Your budget and schedule are design inputs, not afterthoughts. Jobbers Equipment builds a preliminary budget for equipment and services that aligns with your financial reality and project timeline.
When needed, we create a phased plan — for example, an initial phase and an expansion phase — so you can start operating sooner and grow later without redoing the shop. This helps you make today's decisions with a long-term impact in mind.
The Preconstruction team at Jobbers Equipment speaks the language of owners, architects and contractors. We can join your design meetings to answer technical questions, refine layouts and validate equipment selections.
We provide clear information on electrical, anchoring, ventilation and space requirements so the design moves forward without guesswork. By the time the project moves into construction, everything related to shop equipment is already thought through and documented.
At the end of Preconstruction, you don't just get "ideas" — you get actionable deliverables that help you secure internal approvals, negotiate more effectively with contractors and cut down on last-minute changes in the field.
