Ohio Peterbilt

Ohio Peterbilt developed an 82,000 SF flagship truck dealership in Etna Township to meet growing regional service demand.

Project Overview

As demand for premium truck service and support continued to rise in the Columbus region, Ohio Peterbilt identified an opportunity to better serve its customers' growing needs. With increased traffic through the area and more fleets relying on timely, expert maintenance, it became clear that a larger, more advanced facility was essential to meeting expectations. In response, Ohio Peterbilt engaged Lehman Daman to construct their new flagship location in Etna Township.

Project Challenges

As with many complex developments, the project required close coordination with the local jurisdiction throughout the construction process. Recent organizational changes within the reviewing agency, combined with evolving procedures and requirements, added complexity to the approval process. To keep the project moving forward, Lehman Daman worked closely with all project stakeholders to align expectations and facilitate timely decision-making.

‍

Construction also progressed through the winter months, requiring Lehman Daman to implement a variety of cold-weather construction measures. These included temporary heating systems to maintain workable interior conditions and protective barriers to shield active work areas from wind and the elements, helping ensure productivity and quality throughout the season.

In addition to delivering the new flagship facility, Lehman Daman coordinated construction of a new county road to establish reliable job-site access, an important infrastructure improvement supporting both construction activity and the facility’s long-term operations.
