Warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and rec facilities are where metal building construction delivers the most square footage per dollar. Pencor manages the full scope from engineered systems selection through foundation, finishes, and final inspection.
We work with your racking vendors and operations team before the structural engineer touches the drawings. Column spacing, clearance heights, and floor load ratings get confirmed with your vendors before engineering begins so the structural spec reflects what the building actually has to support.
Structural erection, insulation, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-in, and interior finishes are sequenced and delivered by the same team. No coordination gap between the frame and the finished building.
Bring us your end-use requirements, your site, and what the building has to hold. We’ll show you how the structure gets built around them.
Every metal building we deliver follows the same sequence. The operational requirements drive the structural decisions, and every phase, from foundation through finishes, stays under one contract with one team accountable for the outcome.
Case Study
One recent Grocery client needed a facility had to be designed on an existing site with a 13,000-pallet racking layout before a structural system was selected, cold storage requirements built in from the start, and a budget held through a multi-year delivery on a project type their organization had not built before.
Challenge: Every structural decision depended on what the building had to hold. The racking layout, the refrigeration system, and the floor load requirements all had to drive the engineering before the engineering began.
Solution: Pencor was engaged before the structural drawings were started. We designed the building around the operation, managed the full scope from preconstruction through delivery, and established a budget before engineering began.
Result: The budget held without a single change for over two years from initial pricing. The project was delivered ahead of schedule.
How does Pencor approach pre-engineered metal building construction differently from a standard general contractor?
We spec the system around the end use before the engineering drawings are started, not after. Our approach means the structure is designed around your racking layout, equipment loads, and operational clearances from day one rather than adapted to them after the steel arrives.
Does Pencor handle both the metal building shell and the interior finish work?
Yes. Our metal building construction scope covers the full project from foundation through interior finishes, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-in, and final inspection, all under one contract with one committed price.
What types of facilities does Pencor build using metal building construction?
We’ve delivered warehouses, distribution and cold storage facilities, manufacturing plants, and recreation facilities across North Georgia. Metal building construction is our most active project type on the industrial side, and our cold storage and distribution portfolio has grown significantly in recent years.
