Carvana Auto Vending Machine

Morris + Associates provided Carvana with extensive services for their Houston debut. M+A was responsible for the civil design and architectural site adaptation, as well as managing the coordination of the multiple disciplines (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Structural, and Landscaping) it took to develop a comprehensive set of construction documents. We effectively worked with the various authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ) which included the City of Houston, TxDot, Centerpoint, and AT&T to obtain a permit for construction. In addition to the design and construction documents phase, M+A provided extensive construction administration services for the client. The Carvana Auto Vending Machine at I-10 and Wilcrest is the first of its kind in Texas and opened December 2016.
