VisionPLUS® OnLine Facility Planning helps collision centers
achieve maximum efficiency by planning and improving shop flow.
While good design alone is not to be expected to solve all
productivity issues, proper shop planning is essential in
preventing costly mistakes down the road.
Are you thinking about remodeling or adding on to an existing
building? Are you considering purchasing new equipment or
building a new collision center? Facility Planning Services from
BASF can help maximize shop efficiency, find the best deal and
avoid “should of” designs. For more information see “Custom Body
Shop Layout Services layout services” or contact
facility_planning@basf.com
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.
