Seamless Church & Christian School Expansion, Renovation, and New Construction Services: Building for Ministry Growth

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.

And with our comprehensive design-build construction approach, as well as partnerships with NUCOR Building Systems and other top manufacturers, we can provide a streamlined solution for practically any project. Our journey from our local origins in Dalton, Ohio, to being a leading commercial contractor in our region is just the start of our story.
