04 Aug UC Midwest Begins Major Upgrade to Chicago Hardware’s Manufacturing Facility in Franklin Park, IL
Franklin Park, IL. August 4, 2016 – United Construction Midwest is partnering with Chicago Hardware as their Design-Build Contractor to demolish an existing 19,000 SF wing in their manufacturing facility and construct a new structure in its place. The single-story masonry and steel building houses the production of wire rope and chain fittings, industrial and marine hardware and allied products.
United Construction Midwest collaborated with Chicago Hardware and the Design Team (which includes Cornerstone Architects, Ltd. in Itasca, IL and Spaceco Inc. in Rosemont, IL) throughout the preconstruction phase to secure real estate and sales tax abatements, develop the design documents, prepare a project schedule and a project budget, obtain planning permits and produce a detailed GMP. Construction is now starting on the project and it is scheduled to finish this November.
