Types of Buildings

Office Building: A commercial building used primarily for business administrative operations. Office building operations are frequently co-located with other business functions, such as warehousing, retail, call centers or data centers or manufacturing. These administrative facilities frequently serve as corporate headquarters or business centers, and as such must meet strict aesthetic as well as functional design requirements.

The term "office building" covers a wide range of commercial facilities. In many cases, these buildings serve as corporate or regional headquarters. These administrative facilities require a polished, professional finish-out to ensure the building presents the right image for the tenant. Regardless the type of administrative building needed, UCC has extensive experience in building office construction projects that meet the tenant's specific needs.

Retail Store: A commercial building that serves as the location for consumers to purchase products or materials from the merchant.

Retail buildings come in all sizes, from small suites in flex / tech buildings to strip plazas and retail centers to stand-alone mega-stores that offer several acres of floor space. The design for a retail store is heavily dependent on the products being marketed. Larger retailers have incorporated these factors into a standardized design for their stores as part of their branding process. 

Manufacturing Facility: An industrial building where raw materials or parts are assembled in large quantities into finished products, which are packaged for shipment to wholesalers or distributors.

UCC has the experience to deliver a quality manufacturing construction project, regardless what products are being produced, and our clients return to us time after time because they value our project management and construction expertise.

Warehouse: A large building where raw materials or manufactured goods may be stored. Warehouse buildings are frequently co-located with other types of facilities, such as distribution centers and manufacturing facilities.

Warehouses used to be fairly straight-forward construction projects, but over time the requirements for these facilities have become more complex. Warehouse design now involves new advancements in inventory control and other types of automation. For example it could be a fully automated picking system used to retrieve stored components. Warehouses are often co-located with other functions,  where warehousing operations share the same building with administrative offices and various industrial processes. Warehousing is sometimes even combined with retail stores.

Whether the client's need is as simple as a basic "big box" or as complex as an integrated facility that supports various commercial and industrial functions, UCC has the experience and expertise to deliver a quality building to meet that need.
