In traditional construction, design and actual construction work are often handled by separate entities. Unfortunately, this can result in communication gaps, cost overruns, and delays. That’s why Weaver Commercial Contractor offers a better approach. Our design-build construction services unite design and construction under one roof to deliver exceptional results. Here’s how our design-build contractors make a difference. Understanding the Design-Build Advantage The primary advantage of design-build is that it offers improved collaboration between architects, engineers, and contractors. This keeps everyone involved fully aligned on design intent and the actual execution of construction. For clients, this also provides a single point of contact for the project, which greatly simplifies communication and decision-making. This alignment ultimately results in more efficient work that minimizes delays while also providing early cost estimation and value engineering. This allows work to be completed on time while maintaining proactive management of the budget. The shared sense of responsibility and accountability among all involved keeps everything on track. WCC’s Expertise in Design-Build Construction At WCC, our team brings an extensive background in design-build work to ensure successful outcomes for each project. We have a construction management team, design team, excavation team, and construction team all under one roof to deliver a seamless experience from start to finish. Over the years, we’ve developed a proven track record, completing design-build projects in a wide range of industries while always maintaining our client-centric approach. WCC’s Design-Build Process WCC’s design-build process begins with the initial consultation. During this step, we learn more about your project requirements so we can understand project goals. We also conduct site assessments to determine how the property layout will affect construction work. Next, our in-house team develops conceptual designs that incorporate your preferences and account for specific project needs. These designs are refined as we conduct engineering analyses and get feedback so we can produce construction-ready documents. Once planning is complete, we can move forward with construction. Efficient project management ensures proper safety procedures and quality control measures are implemented throughout the building project. We conduct a thorough review of our work (including client walkthroughs) before closing out the project. We take pride in ensuring that the final result perfectly matches your needs. With a unified, collaborative approach, design-build construction ensures that your project is completed on-time, on-budget, and at high quality. Contact WCC today to learn more about how our design-build approach will help you achieve your construction goals.

One construction trend that has seen increased interest in recent years is the use of pre-engineered metal buildings. The versatility, affordability, and speed of construction offered by these buildings make them an attractive option for many businesses and industries–and WCC can help. Our comprehensive design, construction, and project management services make us an excellent partner for pre-engineered metal building construction.  Understanding Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings A pre-engineered metal building is constructed with a steel frame system and prefabricated parts, with the structure then assembled on-site. By using a standardized design and manufacturing process, pre-engineered metal buildings are much cheaper than traditional construction projects, and the work can be completed much quicker. Despite using a standardized construction process, these buildings actually offer good design flexibility to meet different functional needs and aesthetic preferences. And thanks to the use of durable, recycled steel, these buildings offer greater eco-friendliness, as well as resistance to fire, pests, and harsh weather conditions. WCC’s Expertise in Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings At WCC, you can count on our team to provide comprehensive support for projects involving pre-engineered metal buildings. Our design and engineering services will ensure that your structure meets all applicable codes and requirements. Our project management services will oversee everything from site preparation to final completion, including precise on-site assembly of the pre-engineered building components. We can even customize pre-engineered buildings with various finishes, cladding options, and interior build-outs to ensure the final result matches your specific needs. Applications of Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings Pre-engineered metal buildings are used in a surprisingly broad variety of circumstances. They are no longer just used for industrial facilities like manufacturing plants, warehouses, and distribution centers. From retail stores and office buildings to barns and agricultural facilities, pre-engineered metal buildings are found in many settings. Increasingly, churches, schools, and community centers are using pre-engineered metal buildings to reduce costs and improve efficiency. With experience in each of these areas, WCC can help your project be a success. A pre-engineered metal building system may likely offer the best fit for your construction needs. Contact WCC today and we’ll help ensure that the final result is not just timely and cost-effective, but that it also meets your long-term functional needs.

Financial institutions play a pivotal role in our communities–and as part of this, the buildings themselves must be secure, functional, and aesthetically pleasing to inspire trust and confidence. As a leading provider of commercial construction services for financial institutions and banks, WCC’s work with local banks, credit unions, CPA firms, and investment companies helps financial institutions meet the needs of their clients. Understanding the Needs of Financial Institutions Financial institutions have distinct needs that must be considered during every construction project. First and foremost is security and confidentiality, particularly at locations that handle cash and confidential information. WCC can help incorporate access control systems, surveillance systems, vault construction, and other security features into the building to protect people, information, and financial assets. Of course, these spaces must also provide a functional, customer-friendly experience. Layouts and design features, such as teller stations, consultation offices, and conference rooms, should optimize workflow, customer service, and employee productivity. We’ll also help ensure that your space reflects your brand identity, creating a welcoming and aesthetically pleasing space for your customers. WCC’s Expertise in Financial Institution Construction WCC brings decades of experience that includes working on a variety of projects for financial institutions. Previous work includes the First Federal Financial Center in Sugarcreek, OH; the Commercial & Savings Bank in Orrville, OH; Mennonite Financial Federal Credit Union in Kidron, OH; and Directions Credit Union in Wooster, OH. Each project has varied in its scope and requirements, but we have always taken a client-focused approach with open communication throughout the process to ensure our efforts match the vision and needs of each building. By consistently delivering high-quality construction work, we’ve helped these and other facilities provide the level of service their own clients expect and deserve.
