The Look Ahead
The pre-engineered building is being erected and roof insulation and panels willl be installed soon. The next big milestone will be pouring the slab on deck for the mezzanine and the slab on grade below the mezzanine. This will allow the trades to start work on the office space in this area. As cranes and large equipment required for steel and precast erection disappear, the site will begin taking shape. Ryan Geurink, Field Manager 616.821.0519
Executive Summary
The pre-engineered building has arrived, and new steel is being erected daily. It’s exciting to see the project come together as we work toward final enclosure. We all know the unpredictability of Michigan weather around this time of year, so it’s full speed ahead to get the building weather tight. As the summer winds down - where did it go?! - and we approach this Labor Day weekend, take time to fire up that grill at least once more, spend time with friends and family, and be sure to enjoy every last warm day we have - there aren’t many left! Clayton Martin, Senior Project Manager 616.392.2383
