Explore more reasons why contractors across the region choose Walco. - [Many Vendor Options](https://www.walcousa.com/commercial-building-materials-for-contractors#menu-01) - [Price-Increase Resilient](https://www.walcousa.com/commercial-building-materials-for-contractors#menu-02) - [Works With Your Entire Team](https://www.walcousa.com/commercial-building-materials-for-contractors#menu-03) There are a lot of challenges in commercial building construction. The key to making sure you overcome them is flexibility. That’s why we prioritize your ability to make decisive choices and get fast results. With a wide choice of vendors, we’re able to make this happen.  When you’re not limited by choice of suppliers you’re able to get better results: better lead times, better prices, better shipping. You’re able to build on your terms, and you’re able to keep your team happy.  We take pride in our vendor relationships, since they are the results of years of doing good business. Our strong bonds with our suppliers are one of the main reasons we’re able to support contractors more readily than other suppliers. We can negotiate deals that are suited to your needs and create custom solutions. If you want to be sure you’re getting what you need when you need it, work with us at Walco.  Price fluctuations are a hard reality in commercial construction. With increases coming on a regular basis, we have to devise ways to support contractors as they work to meet deadlines and budget requirements.  We’re able to engineer the value of exterior systems through our robust vendor relationships. By consistently earning the best prices on materials and making strategic, prudent substitutions for system components, we’re able to lower costs and increase the value of your project.  By sourcing materials that meet your needs for function at a lower cost, you’re able to stay flexible. We work with you in the design phase to cut costs and maintain functionality and compliance. Because of the options we have access to through our vendors, we can source a range of materials at unbeatable prices without cutting corners in important considerations such as fire resistance or structural integrity.  Walco helps you engineer the value of your project at the start, so you can see long term benefits. It’s no secret that architects and contractors can have trouble seeing eye to eye. The same can go for facility managers. There are a lot of overlapping interests on any commercial project, and contractors are often left out of early planning phases. In our decades of experience in the commercial construction industry we’ve worked with countless architects and managers. We know what they’re concerned about and what it takes to keep them happy. Chances are you do too, but you won’t have to explain it to us. We source materials at prices that will keep them happy. We can act as a bridge between architects and GCs to devise solutions at values that will satisfy the needs of both parties. This helps reduce the risk that you’ll be dealing with the fallout of decisions other parties made, or that you’ll be unable to meet the requirements of management and other oversight stakeholders. At Walco, our industry experience enables us to create holistic solutions for the entire project team. "I have known about Walco and they have worked with me for over 30 years. I have always considered them the go-to company when I needed information or help with any of their products. I’ve received same or next day in person delivery of product data, samples, technical information and if that was not available, advice on other or similar products that might solve my problem, not to mention contact data for manufacturer’s reps. It’s always where I start." **Dwight Rosenbaum** FSB Frequently Asked Questions ## Your Contractor Questions, Answered ##### Can you help me spec my project? Yes, we are happy to assist. Please contact [admin@walcousa.com](mailto:admin@walcousa.com), and request Job Specific Questionnaire to get started. ##### What is the solar heat gain on your skylights? Solar heat gain varies with the type of skylight you order. Heat gain depends on the type of skylight that is ordered as well as the lens material and glazing. We can help you determine the appropriate choices for your building project. ##### When it comes to roofing, what are the differences between TPO vs PVC roofing membranes? The main difference is cost: TPO membranes are less expensive than PVC membranes, and they’re also more eco-friendly. On the other hand, PVC is somewhat more durable and easier to install. ##### What is the thermal resistance value Oklahoma needs to design for? Currently, Oklahoma uses the[2015 IBC Building Code](https://www.ok.gov/oubcc/Codes_%26_Rules/Adopted_Building_Codes/) which requires R-20 but more people are designing to R-25 standards. Although [Arkansas uses the 2012 Building Code](https://www.dps.arkansas.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/130.00.13-001.pdf), the same standards are advisable in both states.
