Featured Metal Building Success Story: Carpet Liquidators Retail Store
We have sold a pre-engineered metal building and
it’s ready for its final reveal!
Our metal buildings are made with durable, long-lasting materials that are designed to withstand whatever The Pacific Northwest throws at them.
We understand how important it is for our customers to have reliable, quality metal buildings that will provide protection and security for their property and belongings. That’s why we take great pride in selling pre-engineered metal buildings that are designed to last.
In this blog post, we’ll share the story of one of our satisfied customers and the pre-engineered metal building they purchased from us.
What is the Metal Building Intended to be Used For?
This pre-engineered metal building is intended to be used as a carpet retail store with room for attached retail lease space. The Carpet Liquidators store will be located in Olympia, Washington.
The customer wanted the flexibility of steel building construction to create a custom building plan that best suited their business needs. From start to finish, constructing a metal building was the perfect solution for this buyer.
Why Did the Business Decide on a Metal Building for Their Store?
When our customer came to us, they were in the market for a retail store and they chose to go with a pre-engineered metal building. Steel buildings are perfect for retail stores as they provide the durability and longevity needed for a commercial space.
The featured building was easy for our clients construction team to erect, requiring fewer materials and time than traditional buildings. Moreover, pre-engineered metal building costs, when compared to other building construction methods, fit within the customer budget-which is always a plus for business owners.
Constructing a metal building for a retail store provides the business owner with a customizable, affordable, and safe structure that will last for years to come.
When Did the Building Process Begin?
In February of 2019, PBS was contacted by Mountain Construction to look at the project that would become our featured building in this post.
In October of 2019, Neil Chambers (Relationship Sales Manager) attended a design meeting hosted by Franklin Ng and Brian Wilson of Architectural Werks Inc., in Kirkland WA. Mike Swarthout from Mountain Construction and the project owner, Mike Fleming were also present at this meeting.
We worked through the design process, helped them assess their building needs, addressed any questions or concerns they had, and the steel building was ordered in February of 2020.
After project managers worked on the design and complexity of the building, processing orders, and shipping out the materials, construction of the metal building began and Mountain Construction was ready to get started on bringing this building to life.
When Was the Building Complete?
The project of constructing this steel building began in the spring of 2021 and was completed in late 2022. Along the way, there were supply chain problems in regards to obtaining the electrical equipment for the project as well as a many month delay in getting hooked up to electricity.
Despite these issues, the customer was incredibly happy with their building. With over a year of work, we were proud to see their steel building come together.
Were There Any Issues When Constructing the Metal Building?
When constructing this building, our customer and their construction crew experienced few field issues.
The biggest challenge was the rapid cost escalation of materials for the steel building. To overcome this challenge, it required high communication for quality, service, design aspect & coordination due to the complexity of the project. We also kept a close eye on project costs and timeline to ensure the project remained on schedule and within budget for our customer.
Despite these issues, our customer was thrilled with the final result and could not be happier with their pre-engineered metal building provided by Pacific Building Systems.
