The Client's Endorsement: Trust Earned Through Performance The surest sign of a successful project is the client’s reaction. This wasn’t the first time we’d worked with Rosedale Bible College.

He continues, "We highly recommend WCC, and they will do an incredible job for your organization." As this example shows, our commitment to delivering a smooth construction process generates lasting trust among clients seeking a ministry and education construction company. Project Spotlight: The Rosedale Women's Dormitory For the Rosedale Women’s Dormitory in Irwin, OH, WCC was tasked with constructing a two-story, 16,651 square foot dorm building. As a student-focused building, the dormitory included 42 dorm rooms, an open lobby space designed to encourage interaction and community, warming kitchens and laundry rooms, and dedicated meeting rooms for student life and study groups. The building project also included restrooms, shower facilities, equipment rooms, and an elevator to support Rosedale Bible College’s students. These diverse features were essential to providing a quality living facility that students could enjoy. WCC's Diverse Capabilities in Action With a project that required so many different types of spaces, WCC’s expertise in complex residential needs came in handy.

One of the most frustrating challenges with construction occurs when you have to manage separate contracts for design and construction. Miscommunications, delays, and budget overruns are all too common with this approach — but not when you work with a design-build construction firm. With WCC’s design-build commercial construction services, clients in Ohio, West Virginia, and western Pennsylvania enjoy an integrated approach that delivers efficiency, transparency, and excellent outcomes on every project. Here’s why design-build is the way to go for your next project. The Core Advantage of Design-Build Construction Design-build construction is a system in which a single contractor is accountable for both the design and the construction phases of a project. This brings all work under one roof, ensuring effective communication and seamless alignment between the client's vision and the final build. Design-build also usually results in faster and more cost-effective work because it eliminates the downtime between the design phase and getting construction bids. WCC’s Integrated Design Power At WCC, we are firm believers in the power of design-build construction. This approach allows us to provide accurate cost estimates and key engineering insights early in the design phase, giving you greater control over the project. Our design team translates your operational requirements and aesthetic preferences into functional, efficient solutions, while the construction and contracting side brings those to life, carefully following the design team’s guidance. We are committed to collaborating with you at each step of the work. A client-centered approach ensures that the final result doesn’t just meet your aesthetic preferences, but also supports your overarching business goals.

Growing congregations and student enrollments are a true blessing — but they also bring their fair share of challenges. Chief among these is the need to accurately design impactful space that accommodates continued growth and increased foot traffic throughout your facilities, while also aesthetically blending and enhancing the ministry experience and learning environment. The Church & Christian School construction professionals at Weaver Commercial Contractor (WCC) will guide you through their 5-step process, making it easier to achieve your ministry’s growth vision and make it a reality. Here’s how our church renovation and expansion services can help you. Building While Serving: Navigating Operational Challenges One of the biggest challenges in ministry projects is doing construction or renovation work when facilities are already in use. At WCC, we’re experienced with performing major church renovation services and expansions while minimizing disruptions to your ongoing services, classes, and events. Our construction schedules are specifically designed to help you keep your ministry running as smoothly as possible while we conduct our work in phases. The Kingdom Approach: WCC's Integrated Construction Process We treat ministry projects with the utmost care. Our design team aims to create inspired solutions that capture your ministry vision, while also protecting your budget. We provide budget consultations to clarify the financial parameters of your project and how to best allocate financial resources. Our site assessments also help us spot potential challenges early so we can plan appropriately and protect your investment. With proactive collaboration during preconstruction, our team can establish accurate timelines so you know what to expect. We then maintain that high level of communication at every step of the work to keep you fully informed on our progress. Expertise in Christian Education Center Renovation and Construction For the WCC team, our ultimate goal is to deliver cost-effective ministry projects that become dynamic tools for reaching people and honoring the Lord by growing His kingdom. Our Christian education center renovation and construction services are an excellent example of this commitment in action. For example, our team recently completed work on the Kingsway Christian School in Orrville, OH. The school had an immediate need for a 6,179 SF classroom addition that included four new classrooms, a corridor, and a connector. With high-quality new construction from WCC, the school was able to enjoy essential space for its growing kingdom-focused student body.

No matter what you plan on building with a commercial contractor, trying to figure out the right construction method for your new facility is essential. Your choice impacts everything – the project’s cost, timeline, durability, and your building’s final aesthetic. Fortunately, with WCC’s construction management services, this decision can become easier. We don’t push a single solution on you. Instead, we offer a diverse portfolio of construction methods to ensure the finished project meets its unique purpose. Here’s what you should know. The Building Blocks: Understanding Your Construction Options At WCC, we offer the following construction options for your project: Pre-engineered steel: This modern, efficient choice offers great value and building speed. 30% lighter than conventional steel, it is also highly versatile and can be used for a wide range of structures. Conventional steel framing: The traditional, robust option offers incredible strength, making it ideal for large-scale custom designs. Tilt-up concrete: Popular for industrial and commercial buildings, tilt-up concrete offers low maintenance, reasonable costs, and quick construction time. Wood framing: This versatile and economic option is prevalent in homes, but also used in some commercial and industrial buildings. Wood framing can be adapted to various architectural styles, while also offering cost and energy efficiency. Masonry: This timeless, durable choice offers strength and aesthetic appeal. Popular masonry options include brick and block with insulation, as well as cut stone with metal cladding, built on a solid concrete foundation. Cold-formed metal framing: An excellent alternative to wood, masonry, and hot-rolled steel construction, this option offers high strength and stiffness in a lightweight package. As a recyclable, non-combustible engineered product, cold-formed metal framing offers fast prefabrication and easy installation. Matching the Method to Your Mission: Key Factors to Consider Deciding on the right construction method should consider your project’s purpose, your budget and timeline, and your long-term durability and maintenance needs. We evaluate what construction methods and materials will best align with your goals and vision. For example, a church design may use a pre-engineered metal building to achieve the height and width required in the sanctuary, and structural steel for its offices and classrooms. This could then be paired with a masonry stone veneer finish to make its appearance more inviting and aesthetically appealing than the steel siding you’d find on a manufacturing facility. Your chosen construction method will directly impact the finished building’s aesthetics, as well as construction cost and speed. Each material also offers distinct long-term benefits, from steel’s fire resistance to tilt-up concrete’s low maintenance. Considering both current and long-term needs will help you make the right choice. The WCC Advantage: Expertise Across Every Method At WCC, our deep expertise in these various construction methods allows us to provide objective, professional advice for what will be the best fit for your specific project. We draw on our own experience and your project guidelines to help you find the best option. Then, regardless of your chosen method, we’ll provide expert management and seamless execution of your project. From careful pre-construction planning and site evaluation to skilled execution and project management, we’ll help everything go smoothly. How you choose to build is a crucial decision – but when you work with WCC, it’s one you can make with confidence. Contact us today to discuss your vision, and we’ll help you choose the right construction method to set your project up for success.

Success in commercial construction doesn’t happen overnight. At Weaver Commercial Contractor, our status as a leading Ohio commercial contractor is the result of decades of dedication, integrity, and a relentless commitment to client satisfaction. With a rich history in the Dalton, Ohio area, excellence in design-build construction, and expansive reach across many industries, we’ve been able to create a foundation we can be proud of. The Genesis: Building a Foundation of Trust (1950s - 1999) Weaver Commercial Contractor actually got its start in residential construction, when Ben Weaver began building homes in north-central Ohio while also running his own dairy farm. As demand for his services grew, Ben decided to sell the dairy farm in 1970 so he could fully pursue his passion for home construction. He incorporated Weaver Custom Homes (WCH) in 1979.  Ben’s early work laid the foundation for what WCC would eventually become, thanks to his focus on bringing integrity and craftsmanship to every project. Strategic Growth: Forging a Commercial Identity (1999 - 2009) Over time, increasing demand for commercial, retail, church, and industrial projects led WCH to form a commercial division. WCH General Contractors (WCHGC) was established in 1999 as a DBA of Weaver Custom Homes, Inc. under the leadership of Ron Wegner, Ben’s son-in-law, who had joined the company in 1983 and became the vice president of the new commercial division. As WCHGC continued to grow as a commercial contractor, it was eventually reformed into Weaver Commercial Contractor, Inc. (WCC), a standalone S-corporation with Ron Wenger as President. A New Era: Employee Ownership & Enduring Leadership (2010 - Present) After another extended period of growth as WCC, both WCC and WCH underwent a transformative restructuring in 2020 to become employee-owned companies. This new arrangement fostered a deeper commitment and sense of shared success among the WCC and WCH teams, encouraging everyone to give their best efforts to every project. In January 2023, Ron Wenger transitioned from president to senior advisor, while vice president Mike Eberly ascended to the role of president, ensuring valuable continuity for the business. With this seamless leadership transition and employee-owner structure, WCC is positioned for sustained growth and innovation in commercial construction. WCC Today: A Recognized Leader in Commercial Construction Today, WCC stands as a leading commercial general contractor, with an unwavering reputation for honesty, integrity, and value-driven solutions. Our commercial portfolio includes churches and Christian schools, professional offices and retail stores, manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution centers, and more.
