Industrial and warehouse facilities play a vital role in local and global supply chains. They are the lifeblood for many businesses. As such, having a quality warehouse space is vital for your business’s success. As a leader in industrial and warehouse construction, WCC can help your organization accomplish its manufacturing and supply chain goals. Understanding Industrial Construction Challenges Industrial construction can be surprisingly complex. Depending on the industry involved, a facility may need to meet compliance standards for health, safety, and environmental regulations. At the same time, facilities must have scalability, durability, and operational efficiency. WCC uses innovative design and construction practices to meet and exceed these essential standards. Tailored Solutions for Complex Needs Manufacturing, logistics, and distribution can look very different between industries. Industrial clients typically can’t go with a “one size fits all” approach, which is why WCC applies custom construction solutions tailored to the unique needs of each client. Doing so maximizes productivity, efficiency, and safety once the facility is in operation. WCC’s Industrial and Warehouse Success Stories WCC has undertaken a wide variety of industrial and warehouse projects, consistently delivering high-quality results for our clients. For example, we built four buildings for Venture Products’ Ventrac Manufacturing headquarters, with corporate offices, manufacturing and distribution facilities, and even an automated painting system. As Mark Steiner, Venture Products Vice President and Facilities Manager stated, “They have a qualified staff that worked hard to understand our needs and to show us options that we might wish to incorporate into our facility. It was important that I be able to work closely with them on several aspects of the project, where we, as the owner, would also work as one of the subcontractors. This relationship worked out very successfully with all WCC projects completed on schedule and finished under budget.” With a proven track record of overcoming the complexities of industrial and warehouse construction, WCC is an excellent option for your next building project. Our team’s commitment to quality, innovation, and client satisfaction is sure to deliver a building that meets your organization’s needs. Contact us to get started.

There is a growing demand for multipurpose spaces in both the commercial and public sectors. While the exact nature of these buildings can vary, Weaver Commercial Contractor’s status as a pioneer in the design and construction of flexible, multi-use buildings makes us well-suited for these projects. The Evolution of Space Utilization Space design and utilization have evolved substantially over the years. It used to be that a single building would have just one purpose. But, as time has gone by, changes in work, lifestyle, and community needs have resulted in many projects requiring greater flexibility and adaptability – primarily by being able to be used for multiple functions. Our changing world makes multipurpose spaces essential for many organizations. Principles of Flexible Design When WCC takes on a multipurpose project, we focus on the key principles of versatility, sustainability, and user-centric design. Quite simply, no two multipurpose projects are exactly alike because each organization must consider its own unique needs. To achieve successful outcomes, the desired functions of the space and the needs of the people who use it must come first. Smart building systems and modular construction are just two examples of technological innovations that are helping us put these principles into action. Showcasing WCC’s Multipurpose Projects WCC has been involved in multipurpose projects in retail, ministry, and other areas, bringing our expertise to a diverse range of buildings. For example, our work for LifeSpring Community Christian Church went well beyond a sanctuary, with additional spaces like a cafe, children’s play area, offices, and more – all with an expandable building design. Pastor Jeff Dueler gave high praise to our team, saying, “You didn't just build an amazing product, you did it with integrity and grace." With flexibility a more important part of modern construction than ever, WCC’s expertise in delivering multipurpose spaces catered to your unique needs can be a true difference-maker. With our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and client satisfaction, you can have confidence that your project will be a success. Talk to us to learn more.

The retail landscape has undergone some dramatic changes over the last several years. Changing customer behaviors means that retail spaces must differentiate themselves from the convenience of online shopping. Fortunately, with Weaver Commercial Contractor’s experience in constructing innovative retail spaces, this can become a reality. The Shift in Retail Design With the rise of online shopping, retail has had to shift away from traditional store designs to more experience-driven spaces. Customers are looking to do more than just pick out an item. They want a personalized experience shaped by technology and sustainability – to experience something that can’t be replicated online. To get customers to actually come into their stores, retailers need to deliver on these ideals. WCC's Design Philosophy for Retail Spaces At WCC, we’re committed to helping our clients create immersive and engaging customer experiences. By focusing on technology integration and how the layout and design contribute to the overall experience, we can help you create spaces that form lasting connections with your customers. Innovative Features of Modern Retail Spaces Modern retail spaces rely on a wide variety of innovative features that should always be tailored to the operational needs of the business and the desires of its target audience. WCC helps clients incorporate features such as interactive displays, flexible layouts, and smart technology to create a unique and memorable shopping experience. Catering to customers' desires will get them to come back time and time again. Case Studies: WCC’s Retail Construction Success WCC has been proud to help with a variety of retail construction projects. For example, the LincWay Multi-Retail Venue included a wide variety of spaces, including a hair salon, art studio, cafe, and more – all designed to create an experience-driven retail space.

While some aspects of construction remain the same regardless of the scope of the project, there is no denying that large-scale commercial construction work has unique intricacies and challenges. Working with a team that can handle more complex construction work is an absolute must — and WCC is up to the task. Navigating Complexities in Large Projects The biggest challenges associated with large-scale construction often come down to a matter of scale. Areas such as logistical coordination, resource management, and timeline adherence can become surprisingly challenging for projects that require large quantities of materials and manpower. As a design-build contractor, WCC is able to account for these needs beginning at the design and planning stages, ensuring that we navigate these issues in a streamlined, collaborative manner. Case Studies of WCC’s Major Projects WCC has taken on a wide variety of large-scale commercial projects over the years. For example, for MFS Supply in Solon, OH, we raised an 18’ clear height roof to a 32’ clear height for an 82,000 square foot warehouse. We’ve built a 94,584 square foot FedEx Ground Distribution Center in Canton, OH, as well as a 46,825 square foot multi-retail venue space for LincWay in Orrville, OH. A broad range of experiences makes our team uniquely suited for large-scale projects. Client Perspectives on Large-Scale Projects Don’t take our word for it. Consider this perspective from Mark Steiner, Vice President and Facilities Manager at Venture Products, for whom we built a 373,000 square foot facility for Ventrac Manufacturing Headquarters: “This is the third large commercial project of a design-build nature that I have worked with WCC. They have a qualified staff that worked hard to understand our needs and to show us options that we might wish to incorporate into our facility. It was important that I be able to work closely with them on several aspects of the project, where we, as the owner, would also work as one of the subcontractors. This relationship worked out very successfully with all WCC projects completed on schedule and finished under budget.” A solid foundation of construction expertise and experience in handling large-scale commercial construction are essential for achieving successful project outcomes. WCC’s proven track record in this area ensures that you can move forward with confidence as you plan your next project.

Design-build construction has become a trendy phrase in the construction industry lately — but it’s important to understand what this actually means for your commercial construction project. Quite simply, design-build is when both design work and construction work are performed by the same contractor. It’s an approach we love at WCC, and it’s one that can offer significant advantages for your project. Advantages of Design-Build Approach Working with the same contractor for design and construction has several inherent advantages. Because the designers and builders are part of the same team, this streamlines processes and improves collaboration. Communication is improved as everyone works as a cohesive group to solve problems and achieve the best results. This approach can also lower costs and make it easier to meet project timelines. At WCC, this single source of accountability enables us to use our industry-specific knowledge to maximize your building’s functionality and find cost-saving solutions. WCC’s Unique Design-Build Projects With decades of industry experience, WCC has worked on a wide range of commercial projects, helping businesses plan for current needs and future growth. From multi-retail venues and banks to our own office additions, we’ve tackled many unique projects that have helped us strengthen our collaborative skills and overall process. For example, for Casa di Sassi’s manufacturing headquarters in Apple Creek, OH, we helped design and build a 48,400 square foot manufacturing and warehouse facility with four docks, aggregate bins and silos, and an exterior product staging/viewing area, as well as a maintenance shop and break room. Client Feedback Whether using us for design-build or on a project that already has its own architect, our clients love our work! This is what Matt Miller, senior vice president of First Federal Community Bank said about working with WCC: “We highly recommend WCC. They made the project seamless, smooth and stress-free. They are a group of building professionals that are even better people. We highly recommend them. We had a great experience. We know that you will too.” With our extensive industry expertise, you can rely on WCC for your next design-build project.
