Replacing Existing Buildings in Public Parks

Hannah Duncan Leave a Comment

Have you been contemplating replacing a park or recreation structure?

Replacing an existing building in a public park can revitalize a park or nature area with an updated look that also eliminates an old or unsightly building.

Old Park buildings can start to lose their functionality, creating maintenance headaches with costly repairs. Instead of throwing money at the repairs of an old building, replacing the structure may be the best way to go.

Turnkey replacement projects can be the solution that your park needs to upgrade its facilities while also making the space more inviting for visitors to explore.

We Can Do All Building Types

At Romtec, we can do all building types – restrooms, pavilions, concessions, and more.

Since we design, manufacture, supply, and construct, we can replace multiple buildings with our turnkey services. We are experienced with these types of larger turnkey replacement projects across the U.S. where multiple buildings are being replaced.

For example, the turnkey replacement project, Memorial Park Facilities Improvement, which was procured utilizing the design-build method, included all of the following: architectural design, civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering, as well as abatement, demolition, utility location and relocation, site prep and finally, the construction of seven custom restroom and shower buildings at the park.

The 673-acre Memorial Park project was important to San Mateo County because of its rich history. Acquired by the county in 1924, during “The Depression”, Memorial Park was established as a project camp for the Work Projects Administration instituted by President Roosevelt.

The old-growth redwood forest and trails that encompass the park are a great annual retreat for families to camp and enjoy the outdoors.

Memorial Park is a great example of a park system that wanted to update their facilities to complement the surrounding environment.

We can handle all aspects of building replacements with our turnkey services as we seek to make the most of an opportunity to improve your facilities and parks. Because we provide a variety of pricing and design solutions, there is no need to put out multiple bids for different types of contractors.

We Offer Many Ways to Purchase a Turnkey Replacement Project

A park replacement project can refresh the feeling and aesthetic of a location.

For the purchase of a park replacement building, we have a variety of ways to meet the procurement rules and regulations.

Romtec is a member of many purchasing contracts which allow public agencies to directly purchase the Romtec design and supply at a discount. A few examples of purchasing contracts Romtec is an approved vendor of include Sourcewell, BuyBoard, Keystone Purchasing Network, GSA, COSTARS, and the Purchasing Cooperative of America (PCA).

Our government purchasing services are available to state, local, and federal agencies. Best of all, we can customize our designs to fit your needs and your preferences in architectural style to create a unique structure.

Direct purchase includes the stamped and sealed plan set and building supply directly from a Romtec representative without the hassle and cost of a traditional bid process, but it is not the only option. The Design-Build purchasing option is a newer way to purchase a building where the design and construction services are handled by one experienced entity. Romtec has been involved in the design-build delivery method on a variety of projects.

Our design and construction experience gives us the ability to act as a one-stop shop for this type of delivery method. Taking your park replacement building project directly from start to finish with a single source. This process drives collaboration and accountability throughout the process as we work hand in hand with the end owner.

Skip the traditional bid process and hire a Romtec installer directly through our contracts for increased savings on your building project or try the design-build delivery method for a one-stop shop approach.

Romtec Can Handle All Aspects of the Project

Our Design-Build capabilities come from our team of experienced engineers, architects, and construction managers. We can demolish old structures, put together site plans, design the replacement structures, provide the materials, and construct the new buildings.

For example, in the Eagle Creek Campground Project, Romtec maintained an 80-year-old retaining wall, then matched the stone from the same quarry and completed the walls to support the new structure. Then Romtec finished the project by matching a historically significant structure to something brand new.

Romtec has decades of experience in the parks and recreation structure business designing, supplying and building thousands of projects over the years in every state, each with their own special needs and expectations for gaining a happy customer.

Designing a Replacement Project Based on Projected Users

At Romtec we design park and recreation structures ranging from a single user restroom at a lightly used trail to multi-user restrooms that serve larger parks for community events like sports tournaments or annual gatherings.

We can design a restroom building to fit your specific needs, whether that is a mix of multi-user restrooms along with single-user units incorporated into the building or locker rooms with showers. Romtec has supplied and designed pavilions that can operate as an amphitheater when they aren’t used as a picnic space and restrooms with special interiors to meet the needs of a splash pad.

Prefabricated structures come with design constraints that can limit the usability and aesthetic of a building. At Romtec we design restroom buildings that highlight your public park with a custom style that suites the location.

With our team of engineers, architects, and construction managers we can create a unique design that incorporates your building needs and other additional features that are desired. Using the design-build method for design specific buildings is a great way to tackle challenges like the timeline, competitive pricing, and garnering a team that can deliver both the design and construction of a project.

Our turnkey replacement services provide a full spectrum of offerings to ensure your building replacement is handled by Romtec from start to finish.

At Romtec we have decades of experience creating restrooms all over the country that exceed expectations and deliver a high-quality product that serves the local community.

Our experience with the design-build process at the Memorial Park Facilities Improvement highlights both our ability and experience to design, supply, and build beautiful structures along with a variety of other services.
