The new Saltbox facility includes over 6,000 sq ft of display space spread across three showroom areas, alongside a 6,500 sq ft workshop featuring eleven bays.
Challenge
To create a brand new facility
The proposed new solar trees are designed to power the electric car charging stations within the Southampton quarters as well as easing the electrical load for the Promega offices on the existing site.

Solution
Using the available space effectively
The new Saltbox facility includes over 6,000 sq ft of display space spread across three showroom areas, alongside a 6,500 sq ft workshop featuring eleven bays, two of which are designated for MOT testing. Additional features include supporting office and administrative areas, a parts department, and dedicated wet and dry valet facilities.
The showroom space will enable Richmond to expand its franchise offerings beyond their well-established Hyundai brand, for which they have been Europe’s top dealer for several years. Demonstrating the Group’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, the facility includes numerous EV charging stations both inside and outside the building, as well as extensive photovoltaic panel coverage on the south-facing roof.
This new build showroom on the ‘Saltbox’ development in Bognor Regis, was a brand new dealership project for RMG. The works included the build of the showroom, a workshop, valet bays, vehicle storage, 226 vehicle display bays, steel frame, cladding & roofing, glazing and all M&E works, internal fit-out and all aspects of landscaping.

In addition to the Saltbox development, we are actively collaborating with Richmond on several upcoming projects as they continue to build on the success of their brand and drive their growth. Having previously delivered their flagship Farlington facility and other projects, Calcinotto has greatly valued the opportunity to maintain a strong relationship with Richmond and to lead their projects within our office.
Calcinotto provided civil and structural engineering services on this project.
