A growing ministry can be a powerful force in the community – but spaces like a new sanctuary, expanded ministry space, or a welcoming community center require precise planning to be brought to life. Weaver Commercial Contractor (WCC) in partnership with BGW Architects, wants your ministry's vision to start on the strongest possible foundation. With comprehensive support from start to finish, we ensure that your new building will help you grow the Kingdom of God. Step One: Preliminary Design The preliminary design phase includes site plans, floor plans, elevation drawings, photo-realistic renderings, fly-around videos, and the development of a detailed cost estimate. Our goal is to go beyond surface level evaluations to determine the land's potential to serve your ministry's current and future needs. In addition to evaluating utility needs, we perform a geotechnical analysis to understand soil conditions and any potential challenges that come along with them. This includes looking at the land’s drainage, ecological impact, and sustainability opportunities. This early, expert evaluation prevents unforeseen issues and budget overruns during later phases of the project. Step Two: Project Positioning Our next step is to help you with preliminary design review with local municipalities. Our thorough assessment process looks at local zoning and permitting requirements to help you stay compliant so you can maintain momentum for your building project. Step Three: Construction Documents Once your ministry has obtained the necessary funds for the project, we move forward with creating a robust set of construction documents that will be used for permitting, bidding, and construction. These extremely detailed documents cover everything from foundations and heating and cooling configurations to lighting and interior finishing options. These documents set the stage for the rest of the work to proceed according to plan. Step Four: Pre-Construction and Permitting The pre-construction phase is when we finalize pricing and receive plan approvals for the project. Depending on the municipality, we may have to go through a few rounds of revisions before the final building permit is issued. Once these documents are approved, bidding begins with subcontractors and the guaranteed maximum price of your project is also finalized. This process also helps us establish budget clarity and transparency, including by finding cost-saving opportunities that don’t compromise your quality or vision. We also work with a civil engineering firm to complete site development in preparation for construction. Step Five: Construction Construction is overseen on-site by our Project Superintendent, who ensures that the work meets our quality standards and remains on schedule. We also hold weekly meetings with the ministry throughout construction to keep you updated on progress and inform you of any concerns. A proactive, unified approach keeps us all on the same page and ensures the final result fulfills your ministry’s needs. The WCC Advantage: A Unified Foundation At WCC, we believe in having a unified team and vision for ministry projects. Our teams work as a single, cohesive unit, bringing the seamless integration and communication we strive to deliver to your ministry throughout the entire project. With our team’s combined expertise in church building construction services, we can give your ministry project a confident start. Contact us today to learn more about how our distinct approach can bring your vision to life and let you move forward with confidence.

Modern aviation facilities play a critical role in global connectivity and commerce.

Specialized doors, fire suppression systems, utilities, and a design that optimizes maintenance and storage workflows all play a role in building an effective hangar. Mastering Aviation Terminal Construction Quality aviation terminal construction is critical in providing efficient, comfortable, and intuitive spaces for travelers. Our team looks at the complex logistics of aviation terminals, such as ticketing, baggage handling, security, retail, and F&B to develop a design that is functional and pleasant to use for staff and travelers alike. We also have the capability to manage aviation terminal construction projects in phases. This way, we can minimize construction-related disruptions to existing airport operations and maintain a quality experience for travelers. With proven expertise in aviation facility construction, you can count on WCC for hangar construction services, aviation terminal construction, and more.

A well-designed worship space can be transformative for ministries and their communities. At WCC, we love bringing our expertise in modern church design and construction to meet the evolving needs of congregations in our area. Our recent work with the Waterville Community Church in Waterville, OH, is a great example of how our church design build team and experienced church renovation contractors can make a meaningful difference for your ministry.  Understanding Waterville Community Church’s Vision The Waterville Community Church’s project started when they found they needed to replace their roof and HVAC systems. After looking into these issues further, they determined that their current building would not serve the needs of their ministry looking forward. As they considered their building, they identified a variety of improvements, such as creating expanded and secure classroom spaces, as well as a central lobby that was more welcoming and better suited for guiding people to the right part of the church. WCC & BGW Architects’ Church Design & Construction Partnership The Waterville project utilized the best of design and construction expertise through the partnership of BGW Architects & Weaver Commercial Contractor. This proven process included a Preliminary Design Charrette, Project Positioning, Construction Documents, Preconstruction, and Construction of the renovations and lobby addition. As an integral part of this 5-step process, we worked closely with Waterville Community Church’s leaders to deeply understand their specific ministry goals, operational requirements, and vision for the future. This foundation was essential to ensure our design and construction work was in line with what the ministry needed. Transforming Spaces: Renovation and Expansion Details So, what did our work involve? Transforming Waterville Community Church had two primary parts – renovation and expansion. The 2,262 square foot expansion included the new main entrance with a welcoming vestibule (one of the project’s top priorities), as well as the "Lobby - Third Place Hub," which included a café, connected patio, and restrooms. These new amenities created additional opportunities for fellowship. Significant renovations to enhance the worship experience were also performed on the existing 14,833 square foot building. This included improving the Sanctuary, as well as updating the office suite with five offices and a conference room for more efficient ministry operations. To put a greater focus on intergenerational ministry, the renovation also included dedicated spaces for Youth Ministry, Children's Classrooms, and a nursery. Including features like a Cry Room and Community Room, as well as updated restrooms, storage, and pantry facilities also now allow the ministry to better meet the diverse needs of the community. Client Testimonial: A Testament to Success All our work only matters if it makes a positive difference for the church community we worked with – and we’re proud of how this collaborative project turned out! As Pastor Mike O’Shea of the Waterville Community Church said, “ We could not be happier with the product that we got. It's an incredible building, and it's beautiful, but we were thrilled with the process. And we would absolutely recommend WCC to anybody who is looking to do an expansion or renovation project." The transformation of the Waterville Community Church isn’t just an example of our church design and construction capabilities. It’s also a testament to our commitment to building the Kingdom of God in meaningful ways. If you have expansion or renovation needs for your own ministry, contact us and experience the difference of working with a trusted and experienced modern church design and construction partner.

Office spaces have evolved quite a bit over the years – and as a result, so have office building construction needs. As a leading office construction company serving businesses throughout Ohio, West Virginia, and western Pennsylvania, Weaver Commercial Contractor provides the knowledge and renovation experience to revitalize your existing space or to construct a new building that better fits your company’s needs. Here’s how we help bring your vision to life.  Understanding Your Office Space Needs There are many reasons why your business could be considering renovation or a completely new space. Whether you’ve been experiencing significant growth, are stuck with an outdated space, need technological upgrades, or even a brand refresh, sometimes, your existing space simply doesn’t meet your needs anymore. With these needs in mind, it’s important to look at whether an office renovation or new building construction will be best. Both types of projects have unique advantages and challenges. Renovations tend to be faster and more affordable, but can disrupt your workflow. New construction gives you more freedom to build a space that perfectly fits your brand and design preferences, but it could be cost-prohibitive. WCC’s Expertise in Office Renovation At WCC, we have extensive experience in transforming outdated or inefficient office spaces into modern, productive environments that are tailored to your specific needs. We can help with everything from layout adjustments to modernizing your infrastructure (such as HVAC, electrical, and technology systems). As part of our renovation work, we use a phased construction approach that minimizes disruptions to your business operations. We work with your team to find the right balance between completing renovation work and keeping your business running smoothly. WCC’s Expertise in New Building Construction If new building construction is a better fit for your office needs, we can help! Our comprehensive design-build capabilities enable us to manage the entire process, from the initial design to final construction. We’ll help you create a functional and efficient layout that optimizes workflow, collaboration, and employee well-being, while also accounting for energy-efficient and sustainable practices that will save you money in the long run. Our design-build background also allows us to provide customized solutions for your office building, tailoring our work to your specific needs and brand identity. From financial and legal offices to our own office, we understand how building needs can vary. At WCC, we are proud to have served as a trusted office construction company for decades, helping area businesses get their spaces “just right.” Whether you need office renovation or new office building construction, you can count on our team’s collaborative, client-centric approach to deliver the results you need.

Cost-effectiveness and long-term durability have long been top priorities for construction. But today, speed has also become increasingly important in many projects. Tilt-up concrete construction uses on-site casting and prefabrication to deliver these and other important benefits. With Weaver Commercial Contractor, you can get quality concrete construction work with reliable results. Understanding Tilt-Up Concrete Tilt-up concrete is a type of precast concrete construction where concrete panels are cast horizontally at the building site. After the panels have cured, they are lifted into place and “tilted up” to a vertical position. It’s estimated that over 10,000 tilt-up concrete projects are completed each year. This building technique is especially popular for schools, industrial warehouses, and commercial buildings. Advantages of Tilt-Up Concrete Tilt-up concrete’s growing popularity is linked to its unique advantages in construction. First, using on-site casting and prefabrication greatly accelerates the construction schedule when compared to traditional brick and mortar construction. Tilt-up concrete is also more cost-effective, especially on large projects. Reduced material and labor costs lead to direct construction savings, while minimal maintenance requirements also lower long-term expenses. Concrete’s strength and resilience also make it a good construction option. Resistance to fire, wind, and other types of environmental damage ensures lasting durability, while concrete’s thermal mass provides excellent energy savings. Tilt-up also offers great design flexibility that can be used in a variety of architectural styles and finishes. Why Choose WCC for Your Tilt-Up Project? WCC offers expertise and full-scale support in each phase of tilt-up concrete construction, from site preparation and panel casting to lifting, erection, and finishing and detailing. Our team understands all local building codes, soil conditions, and other relevant factors that could affect your project. Our reliability and expertise, combined with a client-focused approach, will give you peace of mind throughout the project. From school and ministry projects to industrial warehouses, our specialization in tilt-up projects allows us to deliver cost-effective and timely solutions while maintaining open communication and collaboration. With its cost-effectiveness, design flexibility, and speed of installation, tilt-up concrete construction is a great option for many projects – and WCC can make it happen.

The retail industry is incredibly dynamic and competitive – and this requires spaces that attract customers, enhance brand experience, and drive sales. As a leading retail construction company in Ohio, Weaver Commercial Contractor has helped a wide range of businesses create innovative and functional retail environments that attract and retain customers. Here’s a closer look at what we can do for you. Understanding the Nuances of Retail Construction  Retail construction is incredibly nuanced. Obviously, buildings need to be functional in how they balance customer-facing areas with operational areas like storage and staff rooms. Layouts should be optimized for customer flow to create a positive, engaging, and convenient shopping experience. However, construction must also translate the retailer’s brand identity and values into the physical space. The right visual cues, as well as seamlessly integrating technology like POS systems and digital displays, go a long way in creating a winning experience for customers. Showcasing WCC’s Retail Construction Expertise At WCC, we take a client-focused approach that looks at your unique needs and goals. With a collaborative and communicative approach, we can deliver great results for you and your future customers. One example of this comes from our work on Biggby Drive-Through Coffee in Wooster, OH. Working in a small space required efficient drive-through design and construction, while still ensuring that specific brand standards and design requirements were met. Our team’s attention to detail helped create an inviting atmosphere for both drive-through and walk-up customers, while our project management expertise ensured the work was finished on time and within budget. Why Choose WCC for Your Retail Project? With WCC, you gain access to an experienced and reliable retail construction contractor with a long history of successful projects throughout the area.

In today’s building environment, we’re seeing much higher demand for efficient, durable, and sustainable construction methods, especially in the commercial sector. At Weaver Commercial Contractor, we’ve found cold-formed steel framing (CFS framing) to be an innovative solution that delivers flexible, durable, and easily installed framing in a cost-effective manner. Here’s why this framing option is worth considering.  Understanding Cold-Formed Steel Framing Cold-formed steel uses thin sheets of steel, which are then rolled or pressed into structural shapes while at room temperature. This automated shaping method rolls the steel into joists, studs, C-shapes, and U-shapes at uniform quality. It can even be shaped into panels and decks with enclosed cells for utility conduits. Cold-formed steel framing offers several noteworthy benefits. Forming the steel at room temperature actually results in greater strength and dimensional accuracy for long-lasting, accurate construction work. CFS is also relatively lightweight, making it easy to handle, transport, and install. This makes installation much more cost-effective. In comparison to wood framing, steel framing provides resistance to rot, termites, fire, and other weather hazards. It is also non-shrinking and non-creeping at ambient temperatures. WCC’s Expertise With Cold-Formed Steel At WCC, our team has extensive experience with designing and engineering CFS framing to meet specific project requirements for many types of structures. We adhere to all applicable industry standards and building codes when working with CFS, while also accounting for your specific design needs. Using the distinct advantages of cold-formed steel framing also enables us to streamline construction processes and reduce project timelines compared to other framing options. Why Choose WCC For Your CFS Project? When you work with WCC, you’ll have a trusted and experienced commercial contractor on your side, one with a reputation for delivering reliable construction results throughout Ohio. Our project management skills help ensure that your CFS project will be delivered on time and within budget. We’ll help you maximize the cost-effectiveness of CFS, while still ensuring that your finished structure delivers on all of your other functional and aesthetic needs. We treat every project with a respectful, collaborative approach that aims to meet and exceed your expectations. As a cost-effective, strong, and easy-to-install framing solution, cold-formed steel framing is well worth considering for your next building project. At WCC, we’re happy to discuss any questions you might have about CFS framing so you can make your construction selections with confidence. Contact us today to learn more.
