The company’s new factory in Peach County will bring approximately 4,500 new jobs to central Georgia and create an expected annual capacity of 200,000 vehicles, with a focus on Audi’s luxury SUVs.

The size of the new factory was not disclosed, but Audi says it will be “among the brand’s largest production footprints globally.” “The United States is one of the world’s most important premium markets, and we have not yet realized our full potential,” says Gernot Döllner, chairman of the board of management at Audi AG. “We are determined to change that — with premium products, a stronger brand and a competitive local production base. This is about building a stronger Audi business in America — not simply about building a factory.” “We are proud to welcome one of the world’s most iconic automotive brands to Georgia,” …

By Robert Reid, principal, Corporeal Visions Inc. Every multi-unit retail and restaurant operator knows the math on a late opening. Rent starts on the commencement date whether the doors are open or not. Staff have been hired and trained against a date that is now moving. Marketing has been spent. Equipment is sitting in a warehouse accruing storage fees. A four-week slip on a single restaurant can easily cost tens of thousands of dollars in carried rent, payroll and lost sales, and for a team opening several units a year, those slips compound. What separates the teams that open on time from the teams that don’t is rarely the quality of the finishes or the size of the budget. It is whether the general contractor (GC) was made to own a handful of coordination points that fall between the cracks of a typical bid. Facility and construction managers who put these items on the table before the contract is signed, and hold the GC to them through turnover, tend to open when they said they would.
