WEAVER PRECAST/MASONRY CORPORATE OFFICE
A special design team designed the Weaver Precast/Masonry Corporate Office Facility. The masonry contractors desire to focus on the design of the exterior masonry and the interior glass block. The project was completed in approvimately 6 1/2 months under design/bid contract with 100% of the work self-performed. The 14,000 square feet two0story corporate office facility has a lower level receptionist counter with a radius stonewall. The conference room uses the Weaver Precast Superior Walls for its walls. The interior lobby has a glass block entrance. The exterior bricks ground face with colored precast bands is color coordinated. The corporate office facility is designed and built with the "construction" theme. The varied materials and combination of different wall planes made it a challenge to build so all precast and opening aligned. the success of the project was in large part due to our expert craftsmen.

D & E COMMUNICATIONS BUILDING
A uniquely designed corporate office for Denver and Ephrata Telephone and Communications Company was constructed in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. the building also serves as a corporate center for an Internet service and other hi-tech communications systems. The building has three floors occupied space. the total footage is 81,000 square feet priced at 8.4 million. The building is only one of several buildings owned by this fast growing company.
Design of Project
As a prominent and growing company in the area, D & E Communication wanted this building to represent their desire for exellence. The focal point of the buildings design is the exterior facade. It is a steel bearing structure with steel stud exterior walls. it is a brick veneered building with the exterior veneer including varied materials and planes of wall.
Details That Create Identity
Two colors of brick were creatively used to accent the long windows. A heavy precast molded and rolled band created a step-back affect. The front and rear entrances were certainly designed to catch the eye. The precast columns with haning brick walls and arches are not ordinary construction, thus defining this project.
Performance of Work
The fast growth of the company dictated a short schedule. Our part of the construction had to be executed within five weeks. Laying the brick before the window frames were installed required openings to be exact. The existing building, within 20 feet of the new building, was still occupied and needed to stay intact until the new building was completed. All this increased the difficulty of the project and required much skill
ABC Affiliate
Approximately 100% of the trades working on this project were open shop contractors with 90% being members of ABC. It was very gratifying being part of this successful project done on time and to the owners pride and pleasure.
