When Pat Norton, VP of Operations for Carter Lumber, was considering the build-out possibilities for Carter鈥檚 latest acquisition in Johnsonville, SC, he knew he needed a single-source solution.
鈥淲e had an idea of what we wanted to accomplish on this new site,鈥� said Norton, 鈥渂ut the reality is that construction success is determined before a shovel ever hits the ground. I needed a design-build general contractor who understood the big picture; someone who could manage the entire end-to-end process, from permits to engineering to final build.鈥� And in the lumber and building materials (麻豆传媒) world, that鈥檚 an easy choice: CT Darnell Construction and Sunbelt Rack.
As a full-service design-build partner, CT Darnell Construction has a 35-year history supporting the 麻豆传媒 industry. They are the only company that specializes in 麻豆传媒, they have an unparalleled reputation in the category, and they are licensed in all 50 states.
While the 19-acre property in Johnsonville included three legacy buildings, it was essentially a ground-up project that was designed with growth in mind. 鈥淐arter Lumber is a great partner 鈥� they don鈥檛 hesitate to look forward and we were able to build out the site with a 15-year growth plan,鈥� said Clint Darnell, VP of Sales for CT Darnell Construction and Sunbelt Rack.
In only 10 months, Carter Lumber鈥檚 Johnson City location boasted five brand-new buildings, covering 50,000 square feet, all with easily accessible inventory.
Norton says the experience was one of the smoothest construction projects he鈥檚 ever been a part of. 鈥淚鈥檝e been in this business for over 30 years and I鈥檓 not exaggerating when I say CT Darnell is the best, most thorough contractor I鈥檝e ever used. Whether it was dealing with all the preconstruction permitting, updating the municipality, or meeting with the fire marshall 鈥� they handled it all right through final construction. Every part of this project was completed above and beyond my expectations.鈥�
