From Blueprint to Business: A Clients Journey Through Construction

The Vision: Defining The Project Goals

When summit logistics, a fast growing regional shipping company, approached us, they had outgrown their existing facility and needed a new space to support increased demand. Their vision was clear, a modern, efficient 20,000 square foot distribution center located within easy access to the interstate. They wanted a building that would not only streamline operations but also reflect their commitment to innovation and stability. We began by listening closely to their goals. Fast turn around, scalable infrastructure, and energy efficient systems. Then, we started developing a plan to bring that vision to life.

Planning & Pre- Production

During the planning phase, our team worked closely with their leadership and architect to refine designs, confirm the budget, and outline the construction timeline. We also navigated local permitting requirements and coordinated environmental assessments for the selected site.

Leveraging 3D modeling and building information modeling (BIM), we provided Summit Logistics with a visual representation of the final structure. This gave them confidence in layout, help identify potential issues early, and kept all stakeholders aligned before breaking ground.

Breaking Ground: The Construction Phase

With approvals in place, construction began. Our project managers, engineers, and field teams worked together seamlessly to maintain pace and pace despite a few weather delays and minor supply chain setbacks, we stayed on track thanks to real time scheduling tools and proactive problem solving. Smart sensors and remote monitoring help ensure safety, track materials, optimized workflows across the site. From foundation pours to steel framing, the build moved efficiently and stayed within the clients project timeline.

Client Collaboration

We believe great construction is built on communication. Weekly progress meetings , both virtual and onsite, gave Summit Logistics full visibility into the project. When minor changes were needed, we handled change orders transparency and stay within budget. By keeping a client informed at every stage it eliminates surprises and builds trust along the way.

Finishing Touches & Handover

As our construction wraps, our team through quality checks and a final walk through. We handled punch list items quickly and work with inspectors to finalize occupancy approvals. The finished facility included high efficiency lighting. Loading docks systems and a climate controlled office suite, everything the client had envisioned and more. We handed over the keys confident that their their building was built to last.
