The best means of engineering a structure. Bringing Star into the project creates a partnership where Star’s expert engineers work as part of the team providing valuable and necessary insights into ” As a design-builder, WinterĬontracts out aspects of the design, such as the structural engineering and mechanicals.
“The pre-engineered company becomes an extension of our design team they’re a partner in. “For us, it’s a separation of duties,” he said. Winter was quick to point out that the designing and engineering involved in the Halo headquarters was a team effort, combining the design-build capabilities of Winter Construction with the vision, needs, and branding of Halo and the technical know-how In turn, fewer materials were needed to complete the building, saving tons of steel and detailing products. Hours on top of the savings produced by optimizing the structure via Star’s proprietary building software. Speed and precision allowed the Halo headquarters to be designed and built using less billable
Speed of design and building is more than just a perk of pre-engineered buildings however, lessening the man-hours on a project is cost effective as well. Readying the site and working on the design simultaneously allowed Winter Construction to shave weeks off of the build time. He continued, “We’re a design-build company, so we’re always looking for ways that we can condense the schedule.” To condense at least several months of design and engineering.” “You can do the site work and set the foundation while you’re still engineering the structure. “The sequencing of ordering a pre-engineered building lends itself to fast-tracking,” Winter explained. When working on a project, Winter’s team takes speed and cost into consideration.įor the Halo headquarters, both were integral to the design and engineering alongside the specific needs of the space: integrating two uses, warehousing and administrative offices, into one locale. Carefully combining the systems to maintain an optimum environmental barrier, the result was an airy, comfortable space that was completed faster and more cost-effective than traditional construction. Working with Star and Halo employees to design the headquarters, Winter Construction – a design build company that has been working with pre-fabricated structures since the early 1980s – was able to integrate multiple Star systems to createĪn all-in-one corporate office and warehouse. The transitions between the materials had to be carefully planned out, but it wasn’t a problem working with Star.” Seam metal roof and the office used a more conventional membrane flat roof. “There is always careful detailing in the different systems together for water tightness,” said Scott Winter, AIA LEED AP, vice-president of Design Build Services for Winter Construction. Integrating the two into a single building required unique detailing to accommodate On the original site, the warehouse and offices were housed in separate buildings.
Over 30 private offices, and open cubicle seating to maximize efficient layout. For one, Halo’s headquarters needed to house 90,000 square feet of warehoused products alongside staff amenities such as a cafeteria, conference rooms, Using long bay truss purlins by Star Building Systems to create the structure, Winter Construction was able to complete the 157,000 square foot facility in twelve months.ĭesigning and building the structure on such a tight schedule came with plenty of complications. Of materials, pre-engineered system design, and final outcome.Ĭombining two building locations onto a new site, the single-story Halo Branded Solutions headquarters houses approximately 500 employees in an open office environment separated by different ceiling heights and freestanding structures such as conference Halo Branded Solutions, located in Sterling, Illinois, won the honor for Winter Construction, based on the project's use tied for Master Builder of the Year in Star Building Systems' annual awards presentation.
