Originally the project included remodel of existing 1st and 2nd floor front office areas and the addition of a new shipping and receiving office with new 1st floor employee break area with nearby ADA accessible restrooms and 2nd floor open office area, However, due to budget constraints the Client opted to proceed with Shipping Operations Addition only. This involved building 1st and 2nd floor office addition inside an empty warehouse area and building out an observation area. This was needed to facilitate trucking companies to check-in with shipping and receiving operations, while trucks were being loaded or unloaded with products. Also, this provided restroom facilities and a separate check-in area for truckers. The old truck driver check-in area was inefficient and did not allow visual opportunity for the shipping manager to see what trucks were stationed outside. This eliminated the need for the Client to provide and maintain temporary restroom facilities for truckers.

This expansion provided new restroom facilities and breakroom areas for warehouse employees. Also, providing additional 2nd floor office space with a new storage mezzanine. APEX worked with the City of Oxnard to coordinate separate inspections and provide our Client with (Final Inspection) temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) for the Operations Addition, while the pending remodel of the Front Offices was deferred as a separate project to be done at a later time.
