In 2023, we successfully completed a large-scale PEMB structure erection in Chesterfield, Missouri that showcases both the complexity and precision our team brings to every project. This massive undertaking required a dedicated effort to meet both the engineering and aesthetic requirements of the client. Here's an overview of the significant components we managed during the project:
Scope of Work
The scope of work for this project was substantial, involving a combination of structural elements and complex materials. Below are the key components of the erection:

318,806 ft² of PEMB Structure:
The core of the project was the erection of a vast PEMB structure, which included the primary frame, secondary structure, and bracing. This was essential to the overall stability and functionality of the facility.

320,781 ft² of Exposed Fastener Roof:
One of the major features of the building was its exposed fastener roof, which provides not only durability but also a sleek industrial look. Our team expertly handled this roofing system, ensuring tight installations to protect the building from the elements.

154,204 ft² of Exposed Fastener Wall Panels:
Similar to the roof, the exposed fastener wall panels were a prominent part of the design. These panels were carefully installed to match the aesthetic and structural integrity of the overall build.
Trim Work:
Our team meticulously handled all trim elements throughout the project to provide a clean and professional finish, complementing the exposed fasteners.
16,998 ft² of PBR Walls with Insulation:
The PBR (Purlin Bearing Rib) walls, equipped with high-quality insulation, were strategically installed to meet energy efficiency standards. These insulated walls contribute to the building's sustainability and long-term performance.
Project Highlights
This project stands out not only for its scale but also for its impressive milestones. Here are some of the highlights that made this project special:
Efficient Collaboration: The seamless teamwork between various departments—from design and engineering to on-site construction—was crucial for meeting deadlines and ensuring quality. We worked closely with the client and subcontractors to ensure that all expectations were met, if not exceeded.
Timely Execution: Despite the size and complexity of the project, we adhered to a strict timeline, delivering the structure on schedule. Our ability to maintain efficiency without compromising on safety or quality speaks to the skill and coordination of our team.
Sustainable Practices: We are proud to have incorporated sustainable practices throughout the project. From energy-efficient wall panels with insulation to the careful selection of materials, the building will not only stand the test of time but will also be more energy-efficient, contributing to long-term savings for the client.
Team and Safety
This successful completion would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of our team. We prioritized safety throughout the project, ensuring that all members were properly trained and equipped for the tasks at hand. Our commitment to maintaining a safe work environment helped us achieve our goals while adhering to all regulatory requirements.
Conclusion
The completion of the 2023 PEMB erection project marks a significant milestone for our team. From erecting the primary structure to carefully installing the roofing and wall panels, every detail was executed to perfection. This project demonstrates our capability to handle large, complex erections, and we look forward to the opportunity to contribute to similar future projects.
