Commercial Building Materials for Building Managers

There’s no limit to what we could build if money were no object, but as we know, price is something we all must work around. It’s a good thing then that we’re experienced in finding ways to consistently offer the best prices on industrial construction and materials procurement. 

One reason we’re able to do this is that we foster fantastic relationships with manufacturers, project managers, and general contractors. We’re able to negotiate good prices for our clients thanks to our industry connections and solid reputation. Additionally, our decades of experience with the building materials market has given us the knowledge to make prudent substitutions in the design phase, further lowering costs. 

Affordability is a primary concern for many of our clients working in the public sector. We are thoroughly familiar with the public bidding process and know how to work with you, your organization, and our partners to meet your needs despite any obstacles you face.

At Walco, we’re code compliance experts. We know building codes are complex, and we also know that lax construction processes can deliver subpar and dangerous results. Codes exist for several reasons, but the main reason is to prevent deadly and destructive fires. With such an important role to play, building code compliance deserves a level of respect it sadly doesn’t always receive.

Building codes aren’t just complex, they’re also constantly changing. The International Building Code is updated every three years. It can take an immense amount of time and effort to understand the current IBC, only to have to learn it again soon after. It’s best to have a guide, and that’s where we come in.

We take an active stance on keeping up with building codes by attending relevant meetings at the legislature, doing our best to know what changes are on the horizon, and never compromising on compliance in our work. From office buildings to hospitals, let us help you build it to code.

We can work with you to ensure that your construction plans reach the highest standards of compliance possible without bloating the costs of construction.

Building codes and budgets may seem prohibitive when it comes to making a beautiful finished product, but this doesn’t have to be the case. The same industry relationships and construction experience that help us get low prices and compliant solutions also let us offer a wide range of products that can be used to build a structure that’s as beautiful as it is safe and affordable.

Many of the products we offer combine functionality with aesthetic appeal. Structural skylights make a building more energy efficient and improve the comfort of the interior, while architectural cladding offers several important protection features and gives a building much of its character. In commercial construction, it’s best not to see beauty and function as separate things.

In fact, reaching high standards in both of these areas is best done by sourcing materials that deliver on both accounts and creating designs that implement them effectively. Even with minimal cash flow, it’s never out of the question to build a visually appealing building.
