Eagers Automotive has opened a city-based service centre within a former Bunnings building as one of the first steps in supporting its development of the huge Brisbane Airport Automall automotive site. 

The two-storey Automall City Service complex is able to accommodate up to 60 staff in the areas of customer support, service and administration. 

The floor has 18 express service bays plus additional bays and dedicated work areas for other functions including car washes. 

Our team helped adjust the final design and coordinate the services while liaising with Eagers and the builder, Armstrong Builders, during the fitout. 

The Bunnings building was a challenging site because there was a line between making some compromises while still ensuring the finished workshop was as efficient as possible to make its operation profitable for the owner. 

We looked at the time-and-motion aspect of a design to ensure the people working in the space have easy access to all the things they need. It’s a key indicator. 

It’s not about building a workshop for the cheapest price – it has to be built so the owner can make profit from it over time. 

It has to be sustainable over the long term. We know the owner will be in that building for at least the next 10 or 20 years.
