O’Reilly Auto Parts

Solli maintains a long-standing and highly productive relationship with Hutton, a national single-tenant retail developer, supporting the delivery of multiple O’Reilly Auto Parts locations throughout New England and New York. Within this programmatic development model, Hutton leads site acquisition and building delivery, while the firm provides comprehensive engineering, environmental, and surveying services required to advance projects efficiently from initial due diligence through permitting and construction. By consolidating these services under a single point of responsibility, the firm is able to minimize coordination inefficiencies, accelerate review cycles, and maintain consistent technical quality across multiple concurrent developments—an approach well-suited to the rapid expansion requirements of a national retail rollout.

A key component of Solli’s role is the execution of thorough and proactive due diligence to identify site constraints early and reduce downstream risk to schedule and cost. For the location in Killingly, Connecticut, the firm delivered full-service site/civil engineering and surveying for a 7,225 SF retail development on a constrained 1.83-acre parcel. Services included ALTA/NSPS surveying, wetland verification by a certified soil scientist, detailed grading and drainage design, stormwater analysis, utility coordination, and access improvements requiring Connecticut DOT permitting. The firm also managed preparation of engineering reports and coordinated closely with local agencies to advance approvals, ensuring that technical completeness and regulatory compliance were achieved without delays to the overall project schedule.

The firm’s ability to deliver high-quality, permit-ready documents on accelerated timelines is further demonstrated by the Halifax, Massachusetts location, where multiple iterative plan revisions were completed in response to municipal and health department comments. These revisions included detailed septic system redesign, incorporation of regulatory separation requirements, utility crossing coordination, grading refinements, and documentation of environmental conditions such as wetlands proximity and FEMA flood zone classification. The responsiveness and technical rigor applied throughout this process enabled efficient resolution of review comments and maintained forward momentum in the permitting process.

The Solli team’s ability to integrate due diligence, design, permitting, and construction-phase services into a single workflow supports rapid expansion while maintaining the level of quality and thoroughness required for successful execution. Across these and numerous similar projects, Solli has consistently delivered technically detailed, permit-ready design documents and managed the full entitlement process, supporting the rapid and repeatable rollout of O’Reilly Auto Parts locations in coordination with the developer’s expansion program.
