Custom Body Shop Layout Services
With years of practical body shop design experience, our Facility Planning Service has designed hundreds of shops ranging in sizes from 2,000sf to more than 60,000sf. Over the years, our specialized team has obtained great insight to what designs work and what does not. Many times clients come to BASF Facility Planning after costly mistakes have been made as a result of designs created by parties with little or no formal training in architecture or body shop design, offering free shop layouts. Along with formal education, our Facility Planning team has years of actual experience coordinating many projects with architects, builders, engineers and equipment vendors throughout the country.

Our Facility Planning service provides clients with realistic solutions and practical designs. Rather than just telling a client where to place a new spray booth and simply provide a layout of the paint department, BASF Facility Planning provides a comprehensive plan of the whole facility. In order to place the spray booth, or any new piece of equipment, where it would achieve maximum efficiency, one must understand the entire collision center. This means taking into consideration what a shop wants to achieve in sales and what existing conditions are present. For example, are there local building codes, existing non-movable equipment or structures to consider? Does the lot size, shape, slope or street frontage restrict the design of the building? Will environmental factors such as wind direction or severe weather conditions influence the design or building placement? Will the layout allow for future growth without costly relocation of equipment? Everything must be taken into consideration at the planning stage.

Once the goals and restrictions are made clear, it’s then possible to create a design or locate the best place for a booth. This kind of personal care and individual assessment, combined with professional experience, sets BASF Facility Planning apart from others.
