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.
