Example Engagement

Service Type

Ground Up Construction

Scope

A logistics developer needs ground-up construction of a 200,000 square foot distribution center including site work, tilt-wall structure, office build-out, and complete site improvements.

Client Situation

The developer has a signed lease with a national logistics tenant requiring occupancy within 12 months. The project requires efficient delivery while meeting tenant specifications for clear height, dock doors, and parking.

Our Approach

We would provide pre-construction services to finalize scope and schedule, then mobilize for site work immediately upon permit approval. Our team would construct the tilt-wall warehouse on an accelerated schedule, coordinate MEP installation, and complete office build-out and site improvements in parallel. Weekly progress meetings and real-time reporting would keep the owner informed throughout construction.

Expected Outcome

The distribution center would be delivered on schedule for tenant occupancy with all specifications met. The completed facility would include the warehouse, office space, truck courts, car parking, and landscaping ready for operations.
