Caliber Collision

Caliber Collision in Converse, Texas, is a new auto body repair shop spanning 18,559 sq ft. The facility is located at IH 10 E N.Foster Rd. & IH 10 E. in Bexar County. The project was privately funded by Cross Development, with an estimated construction cost of $1,500,000. This investment places the project above the median estimated cost for similar new construction filings in the county.

Construction Scope and Design

The building design was handled by NCA Partners. The facility is divided into two distinct areas: a workshop and an office/lobby. The workshop features metal panel construction, while the office exterior utilizes masonry and tuff wall materials. The registration was filed in February 2019, with construction starting in June 2019. The scheduled build window of 245 days is close to the county median of 208 days for comparable projects.

The cost efficiency of this build is notable, with a computed rate of $81 per square foot. This figure is below the county median of $115 per square foot for new construction in Bexar County. This geographic detail is relevant for understanding the site's risk profile relative to flood hazards.

Cross Development has registered six other projects with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), totaling $39,100,000 in estimated costs. These include other Caliber Collision locations in Terrell, Denison, and San Antonio, as well as a senior living facility in Aubrey. NCA Partners, the design firm, has six other closed projects on record, including commercial and retail developments in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. This indicates a consistent partnership between the developer and the architect for commercial construction.

The accessibility review process for this construction concluded when TDLR closed the project file in February 2020. This date marks the end of the regulatory review for the project. The TDLR status is listed as Project Closed, confirming that the required inspections and filings were completed within the scheduled timeline. The record does not indicate any ongoing construction activity or pending reviews for this specific location.

Local business directories, such as carwise.com and caliber.com, list the location as serving the San Antonio and Converse areas. These third-party sources describe the business as a collision repair shop, though the TDLR record strictly pertains to the construction and accessibility compliance of the building. The Census estimates for ZIP code 78109 indicate a population of about 56,372 and a median household income of $87,635, providing context for the local market served by the facility.
