Your Building.
Your Decision.
Expert guidance to evaluate materials, understand true building and operating costs, and advocate for solutions that serve your needs.
Don't Sit on the Sidelines of
Your Own Project.
You’re about to make one of the largest investments your organization will ever undertake. Yet many supplier project stakeholders may not fully understand your organization’s long-term operational needs or be aware of newer solutions that could deliver better performance or greater cost efficiency. As the industry evolves, new materials, technologies, and approaches continue to emerge—but professionals often lean toward the products and specifications they know best.
We help you participate as an informed decision-maker, equipped to evaluate materials and building layout designs objectively, ask the right questions, and advocate for solutions that truly serve your organization.
Buildings Designed for Your Operations
No Standardized Templates
Standardized, pre-fabricated structures are not necessarily the simplest or even the cheapest solution. Your building should match your specific operational requirements—not force your operations to fit a standard structure.
Wide Span
Capabilities
Open span distances over 300 feet without interior columns maximize usable space, accommodate equipment movement, and provide flexibility for future layout changes. Straight walls allow easy access to every corner in bulk storage areas and efficiently accommodate warehouse racking.
Lower Operational
Costs
Our building envelope saves up-front cost on mechanical systems and delivers ongoing energy savings for the life of the building. Unique capabilities of the ExxoTec™ system can deliver air-tight, durable solutions with minimal maintenance requirements.
Future-Proofing Your Investment
Your building needs to serve your business today and for decades to come. Legacy structures accommodate expansion without expensive modifications. Equipment changes, process updates, and technology integration are simpler when your building was designed for adaptability from the start.
Know What to Expect at Every Stage
-
Single Point of Contact
Your dedicated project manager keeps you informed from initial consultation through final inspection. No finger-pointing when questions arise. One accountability point.
-
Upfront Cost Clarity and Creative Solutions
Our estimating team provides detailed quotes including material, fabrication, installation, and supervision costs. We work with specifications directly, through Design-Build, or via RFP/RFQ processes. We work with you to understand your needs and offer creative solutions to meet your budgets.
-
Timeline Commitments
We provide both best-case and weather-contingency schedules during planning. Off-site fabrication continues regardless of weather. We can quickly get the building envelope installed and under the roof, which then provides a dry environment for other trades to keep the project on schedule.
-
Quality Assurance
Materials are inspected at multiple checkpoints before fabrication begins. Processes are regularly audited from mill to job site. Precise documentation ensures every component arrives ready for installation—no field surprises, no missing pieces.

FAQs
-
How do I know if my architect or contractor is recommending the best materials for my project?
They should explain why specific materials work for your building's purpose and location. Good recommendations address your unique needs—not just standard options everyone uses. Demand side-by-side evaluations encompassing initial costs, projected energy performance, ongoing maintenance requirements, expected lifespan, and how each material impacts functionality for your specific operations.
-
What's the difference between initial cost and total cost of ownership?
Initial cost is what you pay at project completion. Total cost of ownership includes that initial investment plus decades of energy costs (heating, cooling, lighting), maintenance expenses (roof replacement, paint renewal, repairs), and operational impacts (downtime, efficiency losses). Over 20 years, these costs often exceed the original construction investment.
-
Should I defer to my architect and contractor on material decisions?
Architects and contractors bring valuable expertise, but their recommendations reflect their experience and comfort zones—not necessarily what's optimal for your operations. Stay actively involved. Ask questions until you understand the implications. We can recommend design experts who not only understand our solutions, but are efficient in providing full design capabilities. Don't hesitate to seek multiple opinions on significant decisions. This is your investment, your building, your organization.
-
How can Legacy help if my architect questions construction?
We provide technical documentation, engineering calculations, and code compliance verification. Our team participates in meetings with your architect and contractor to address concerns directly. We've helped numerous project owners navigate skeptical professionals and deliver successful projects—your credibility stays protected throughout the process.
-
What if I need to modify the building later as our business grows?
Legacy structures accommodate expansion and reconfiguration better than many traditional buildings. Clear span designs eliminate interior columns that complicate modifications. Lighter structural systems require less foundation work for additions. We discuss future possibilities during initial planning to ensure your building supports growth.
