The project included a 40-foot clear high-bay warehouse that required modifications to facilitate installation of specialized equipment such as an extensive floor-to-ceiling racking system designed to manage inventory of over 60,000 Ferguson products. Tilt-up wall modifications were also necessary to accommodate 24×14-foot roll-up doors.

The facility build also included a 5,743-square-foot Ferguson retail store; 30,000 square feet of offices and training space for Ferguson employees; a designated pro pick-up and will-call area; a 24/7 online ordering pick-up area and three exterior loading ramps.
