Located in Taunton, Massachusetts, the new 40-foot clear high-bay warehouse required modifications to facilitate installation of specialized equipment, such as an extensive floor-to-ceiling racking system designed to manage inventory of over 60,000 Ferguson products. Tilt-up wall modifications were also necessary to accommodate new 24 feet by 14 feet roll-up doors.
The scope of the project also included a 5,743-square-foot Ferguson retail store, 30,000 square feet of offices and training space for Ferguson employees, a designated pro pick-up and will-call area, a 24/7 online ordering pick-up area, and three exterior loading ramps.
"I cannot thank you and your team enough for getting us across the finish line on time for this project," Ferguson Construction Project Manager Eric Thomas said. "Your team has done an amazing job communicating expectations and holding all stakeholders accountable. I am still amazed what your team had to overcome on this project while still maintaining schedule. No matter the issue or problem, we worked together to find a solution rather than pointing fingers for how we ended up here. Truly a 'one team' effort."
This facility will be the first Ferguson shipping hub to service the New England region and was successfully completed on time and on budget.
