Construction was scheduled to begin in June 2025, with a planned completion date of June 2026.

Project Scope and Status

The scope of work is strictly defined as additions to the existing building. The primary addition is warehouse space, which is typical for wholesale operations that require storage and distribution capabilities. The inclusion of restrooms indicates that the new space is intended for staff use, not just storage. This is a standard risk classification for many areas in McLennan County.

According to the public record, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. This means that while the scheduled completion date of June 2026 has passed, the official status of the site is not confirmed as finished in the TDLR database. The current state of the construction or the operational status of the expanded space is not verified by the registration documents.

In comparison to other additions in McLennan County, this project's cost of $950,000 is above the county median of $400,000 for similar filings. The scheduled build window of 394 days is longer than the county median of 183 days. However, the cost per square foot of $104 is below the county median of $147. Abacus Engineering, Inc. has been involved in six other TDLR-registered projects, including the Waco Civic Theatre and Kiddie Academy of Manor, with a combined value of $5,065,000.
