The Planet Fitness exterior

    Project Manager Bill Brumbaugh says the project is a 20,000 sf indoor exercise facility.

“The scope of the project includes an open exercise equipment area, complete showers, restrooms and several tanning rooms,” he said.  “It is a very nice facility.  The colors used throughout the facility are purple, yellow and black.

“The materials the construction team used were diamond plate wainscoting, epoxies for the floors and all new storefront glass and doors.”

According to Brumbaugh, the Planet Fitness project took five weeks to complete.

“We had a condensed schedule,” he said.  “Time restraints was our biggest challenge.  While we were still building the project, folks were bringing in the owner’s equipment and rubber flooring.  We overcame the challenge through a lot of hard work and long days.

“We had great relationships with everyone involved in the project.   We had a few meetings along the way to coordinate everything and make sure things were running smoothly.”

Brumbaugh says Havens Construction specializes in building fitness centers.  The project was its third Planet Fitness to complete in Austin, he said.

A few commercial jobs the company has completed lately include the Roll On Sushi Diner, Dickie’s Barbecue Pit, Dancers Shape studio and Edible Arrangements, he said.

Owner Trevor Pyle established Havens Construction in 2002.  The company is a commercial building contractor serving Austin and the surrounding areas.  The company recently moved to its new location on Bee Caves Road.   –ab
