SMS Commercial Building

Designed to support the technical demands of a modern automotive and marine electrical shop, the SMS Auto & Marine facility is a purpose-built light industrial building that blends durability, efficiency, and strong street presence. Large sectional overhead doors provide seamless vehicle and boat access, while storefront-style glazing at the front enhances natural light and creates a welcoming customer entry. Inside, the open-span service bays are configured for flexibility — accommodating trucks, boats, and specialty vehicles with ample clearance and maneuvering room. The high ceilings support lighting grids, lift systems, and electrical infrastructure essential for 12-volt and accessory installations. Dedicated work zones allow for clean workflow separation between fabrication, wiring, diagnostics, and staging. A customer-facing reception area anchors the front of the building, creating a clear transition from retail consultation to technical workspace.
