VOLLMER-OF-AMERICA

Vollmer of America, an international German Manufacturing Company that produces metal cutting machine tools for manufacturing, is undergoing a major expansion to showcase their products. This 29,200 square foot project will increase the size of their current space in Carnegie by 100%. The design/build project in Findlay Township includes office space, warehouse and a signature showroom highlighting pieces of their equipment that will be used for both sales demonstrations and product training. The product training will feature both instructional and hands-on use of their machinery. With anticipated growth in manufacturing, the new distribution center will better serve the needs of Vollmer’s clients.

Following an interview process and a tour of various Integrity Design projects by the owner of Vollmer International, the Integrity Design team and architect, Keith Andreyko were chosen to design the project. Keith, a registered architect, brings 21 years of experience and significant history of design honor recognition. Integrity Design, a boutique design firm, provides a high level of service to a diverse client base including Commercial Real Estate Professionals, Retail Properties, Entertainment Venues, Universities, and Senior Retirement Communities.

CAVCON was chosen by Integrity Design as part of their design/build team on the project. As a Varco Pruden authorized builder with expertise in pre-engineered steel buildings, CAVCON was able to offer insight into the design and budgeting process.

The preliminary design of the 29,200 square foot project went through preliminary budgeting on both a conventional build as well as a pre-engineered steel build. Upon receipt of the initial budget numbers of the conventional build, the project was too far over budget. The team then shifted back to pre-engineered building solutions to mirror the original design.

CAVCON was a key part of the budgeting and design process. Because of their experience with pre-engineered steel building solutions, CAVCON was instrumental in saving $480,000 by shifting to this type of building structure. They provided guidance on how to satisfy the client and communicated what could and couldn’t be managed in the overall budget while leading the project to meet the budget.

Our technical expertise, many years of field experience and creative thinking abilities enable us to be problem solvers with a unique vision for excellent design. We believe the collaborative efforts of both CAVCON and Integrity Design are essential in meeting the needs and objectives of Vollmer of America. The knowledge and skill from a multi-disciplinary design team create integrated solutions for all environments, resulting in a successful project.

With the construction of a new distribution center currently underway, Vollmer of America will be set to meet the demands of manufacturing throughout the region and beyond.

The new look of pre-engineered steel buildings

CAVCON recently became an authorized builder for Varco Pruden.  When people think of pre-engineered steel buildings, what typically comes to mind is a box like structure with no character.  That couldn’t be farther from the truth.  Construction of a steel building occurs in a fraction of the time and cost of conventional buildings offers a cost effective solution to meet your building needs.

Pre-engineered steel buildings are becoming more versatile and CAVCON is able to customize commercial projects utilizing this type of material to satisfy specific customer needs. There’s an endless list of features that can be added: doors, windows, insulation, vents, rounded structures and a variety of exterior finishes.  Energy Star approved roofing systems are also available adding to green construction efforts.

The versatility of steel gives architects the freedom to achieve their most ambitious visions. Structural steel is an essential component of most stadiums, shopping centers and commercial developments; steel cladding systems adorn iconic, landmark structures worldwide. Steel is one of the most sustainable construction materials. Its strength and durability coupled to its ability to be recycled, again and again, without ever losing quality make it truly compatible with long term sustainable development.

Building owners value the flexibility of steel buildings for their light, open, airy spaces that can be created.  This feature makes it ideal for modernization, reconfiguring, extending or adapting with minimal disruption and without costly and sometimes harmful demolition and redevelopment. Even without these benefits, steel is often the first choice on the basis of cost alone. Many of the advantages of prefabricated steel design and construction are applicable to all building types and sectors.

CAVCON is able to create and estimate complex or simple buildings utilizing more variations in dimensions and format of steel buildings.  They do this utilizing Varco Pruden Command, a proprietary design software, which is recognized as a technology leader throughout the world. The building construction is done using different steel shapes and pieces.  These pieces are delivered onsite causing minimal disruption.  Construction of a steel building occurs in a fraction of the time and cost of conventional buildings provides a cost effective solution to your building needs.  Steel building delivers the peace of mind that comes from never having to worry about ongoing maintenance.
