One bank, one builder, one goal. How Gateway Bank, Brian Ehlers Construction, and the concept of design-build helped create Ocala’s newest landmark.
After paying $96k in transportation impact fees on the first two buildings in an east Ocala retail complex called Old Town Village, Ehlers decided not to pull permits on the rest of the project until the county dropped transportation impact fees on commercial construction.
The YMCA’s 1,400 square-foot youth facility was donated by Brian Ehlers of Brian Ehlers Construction Co. Inc. and Chap Dinkins of Fabian-Dinkins Construction Inc. The men donated all the materials and labor for the $100,000 project.
I have had a relationship with Brian Ehlers Construction Company for the past fifteen years. Therefor, when I was asked to provide a letter of reference, I told them I would be delighted to. During my years of residing in Ocala, I was fortunate to hold CEO positions in three different banks. The last two (Florida Bank and Gateway Bank) were built by Brian Ehlers Construction Company. Furthermore, they are about to embark on a new renovation project for us.
I have been impressed by their professionalism and their passion to please the customer. As CEO of a bank, I have had the pleasure of meeting many builders. Selecting one over another can be a sensitive matter. We were sure we made the right decision when we same BECC had to offer. From their website portal to their constant availability, we found two main ingredients that gave us the confidence we were looking for. I have been involved with many projects over the years. I can say that our relationship with Ehlers has produced quality work that was on time and under budget. And, as a third-year purchaser of construction services, I can say this is something that does not happen all the time.
Sincerely,
Thomas D. Ingram
