This remodel and addition brought the Paul, Idaho location in line with the client's newest stores: a cohesive brand identity with material accents tailored to the community. The work happened on a constrained, contaminated site, with close collaboration with the Idaho DEQ to manage contaminated soils and groundwater, oversight of environmental testing, excavation, and backfill, and a high water table that demanded continuous dewatering and filtration during underground fuel-tank installation. A small footprint required precise circulation, parking, and staging, and a phasing strategy kept the business operational throughout. Through hands-on construction project management (contractor coordination, submittal review, RFI responses, on-site verification), the location now reflects the client's modern identity while keeping its own sense of place.
