IOS proudly partnered on the new construction of the USF Fabrication & Parking Garage, a 4-story tilt wall facility in Hialeah, FL. Designed to house parking, office space, and operational areas, the project called for precision, planning, and a unified team effort to meet a tight construction timeline.
The primary challenge was ensuring the project met its construction deadline while aligning with rigorous safety and code compliance standards—especially for complex parking garage openings. Early coordination and a creative team approach allowed us to plan and execute seamlessly, staying on schedule and within budget.
Our Solutions
IOS provided and installed a comprehensive package of:
- Hollow metal frames and doors
- Wood doors and architectural hardware
As both estimator and project manager, our team crafted a code-compliant and cost-effective solution using a full ASSA ABLOY package, including brands like Ceco, Fleming, and Accentra. The flexible specs allowed us to build a tailored solution to meet the facility’s unique needs.
ASSA ABLOY played a key role in helping us keep the project within budget and specification. Our internal collaboration—from estimating to detailing, purchasing, fabrication, and installation—was seamless and essential to the project’s success.
Key Successes
- No major construction surprises or delays
- Full compliance with stringent windstorm, fire safety, and life safety codes
- Approval from the City of Hialeah Building Department for TCO
This project showcased the best of IOS teamwork. Every department played a critical role, and it was that collective effort—from planning through final inspection—that made this build a success. We’re proud to have delivered a secure, compliant, and high-performing facility that meets the client’s needs and protects its occupants.
