Industrial Tenant Improvements

ENR's '#1 Warehouse and Distribution Contractor' in the U.S. | Turnkey Design-Build

ARCO/Murray's in-house industrial engineers and designers leverage the most advanced tools and design-build methodology to provide a complete project solution. As the largest warehouse & distribution builder in the U.S., we have a wide breadth of experience ranging from large-scale speculative warehouse developments and build-to-suit manufacturing facilities to interior buildouts for your tenants or existing space. Our approach ensures we bring your vision to life from initial planning and design all the way through completion and warranty.

Upfront Budget Commitment

As a true design-builder, we have in-house design and engineering experts that are dollarizing decisions, procuring long lead items early and ensuring the design meets your vision. We then commit to a budget upfront.

Optimized Risk Transfer

Unlike the traditional design-bid-build GC approach, ARCO manages all the risk of a project once a contract is signed. You can breathe easy knowing the risk of schedule delays, design changes or cost increases are all handled.

Single Point of Contact

You establish one contract with one entity (us) who is then responsible for the entire project. This protects you from miscommunication, fee overlaps, and delays that often arise when contracting with multiple vendors. ARCO assumes complete ownership and accountability for the process, mitigating potential issues of having multiple designers and contractors in the kitchen.

Design-Build = Construction Made Easy

“Design-Build” is a term that often gets misused. It’s not a buzz word on a contractor’s website that yields the same results. A true design-builder offers a one-stop shop for engineering, architecture, solar, MEP design and construction. At ARCO/Murray, we’re fierce believers in design-build not only because it simplifies the construction process for our clients, but also because it allows us to streamline the overall schedule, procure faster and provide value-added solutions upfront, as compared to the traditional design-bid-build model.

Cost and speed matter, especially in a competitive industrial market, and that’s why the design-build construction method has seen 600% growth since 2002. So, whether you are looking to build an industrial development from the ground-up or renovate an existing facility, ARCO/Murray offers a complete, in-house design-build solution that keeps your project on time and on budget.

DHL

Why Clients Choose ARCO

“There were so many details, and it was such a large scope that we needed more horsepower. We came to ARCO, and I don’t ever remember hearing ‘that’s not us.’ It was always ‘yes, we can do it,’ and ‘yes, we’ll help you with that.’ It really enabled us to the run the company and not have to worry about subcontractors and who’s here and when.”

Neuco

Why Clients Choose ARCO

“Never in my 20 years of working on construction projects has a project run more smoothly or professionally. It was a pleasure to work with the ARCO/Murray team. I really appreciate all of the hard work and great Friday cookouts.”
