ROCKFORD CONSTRUCTION

Everything connects. If we’ve learned anything in the past three years, it’s that small ripples created in one corner of the world can be far-reaching.

This is clearly true in our industry, where shortages of people and supplies have made our mission of developing, building and managing spaces that make a positive impact more challenging than ever.

So, we’re taking action. Our business and our world demand that we bring even more services and capabilities in-house. Rockford’s ability to control quality, schedule, budget and value has never been stronger. Today, our platform of services is designed to support the full life cycle of space. And we continue to strengthen relationships with our trade partners to deliver on our promises to clients.

Everything starts with great people. Our team holds true to our values, working together to Build a Better World. We’re doing it through innovation and learning. We’re doing it with grit and a determination to tackle the toughest projects on behalf of our clients and our communities. And we’re doing it by joyfully giving our time, talents and treasures to people and causes around us.

I am fortunate to be surrounded by a strong and experienced leadership team that brings new energy and creativity to our work every day. And as we celebrate our 35th year in business, the 10th anniversary of our Florida office and the 5th anniversary of our Detroit office, I am grateful for all the wonderful clients who’ve entrusted their projects to Rockford. We are working harder than ever to meet your ever-changing needs. Working together, the ripples we create will help us all Build a Better World.

Encompassing nearly a quarter million square feet, Studio Park Tower will bring 165 market-rate apartments and 25 condominiums to the heart of Grand Rapids, Michigan, when completed in late 2024. Work includes the construction of a 16-floor, post-tensioned structure on top of an existing 6-story parking garage. This presents a logistical challenge with limited space to work, a hurdle the Rockford team is handling through a just-in-time delivery structure on the project site.

When Studio Park Tower tops out, it will be the fifth tallest building in the city and will provide residents with a variety of amenities, including a community space, fitness center, elevated pool, health room, coffee bar and more.

BEHLER-YOUNG Wyoming, MI | 100,000 sq. ft.

Innovative construction approaches and locally sourced construction materials defined this warehouse expansion for Behler-Young. The project allows the company to house more goods for distribution, resulting in faster delivery to clients.

Rockford installed insulated metal panel roofing to help avoid construction delays due to traditional roofing material shortages. The Ductilcrete floor is “super-flat,” allowing higher material stacking and level racking. A majority of materials including steel, site concrete, crushed concrete and roofing panels were all sourced from suppliers near the jobsite, reducing environmental impact and costs.

Value, Speed and Efficiency When traditional commercial roofing materials were in short supply and threatened to delay the construction schedule, the Rockford team suggested an innovative approach – insulated metal panel roofing. The locally sourced panels from Falk Panel helped avoid delays and reduced costs by eliminating the need to pay premium material rush fees from other suppliers, saving the client valuable construction dollars.

Significant environmental remediation efforts and thoughtful repurposing of materials were both key in the construction of a 51,000-sq.ft. facility for MCPC, a technology logistics and data firm. The Rockford team removed an existing 250,000-sq.-ft. building from the site to make way for the new warehouse and office space, recycling roughly 80% of the materials from demolition. This included more than 18,000 tons of crushed concrete – reused for the building pad and parking lot – along with 6,300 cubic yards of repurposed soils. Rockford successfully navigated long material lead times and unique site characteristics to deliver the project on time.

In seeking a transformative shift in their approach to assisting the homeless, Mel Trotter Ministries (MTM) partnered with Rockford on a major facility renovation. With a goal of going beyond providing basic humanitarian services to patrons, the work called for converting shared, dormitory-style rooms with gang showers to individual, semi-private suites. The updated living quarters offer a more private experience. They also provide a strong foundation for MTM’s new programming, which is designed to better support guests as they endeavor to leave homelessness forever. In addition to the renovation work performed in an occupied space, Rockford also added a third floor to the building. Efforts will continue throughout 2023 as additional phases are completed.

The Rockford team was challenged with ever-changing conditions and unknowns regarding construction and renovation work at Mel Trotter Ministries. Each took it on with their very best effort, stretching their skills to the max – often well above the call of duty. This project has significantly improved and changed the heart of the Mel Trotter organization.

The first of their kind, these “grocery” format stores are smaller than the larger retail/merchandise supercenters and will be grocery-forward, offering fresh produce, fresh meat, dry grocery items and a bakery in a condensed, quick-to-navigate layout. The locations will also feature departments such as baby, pharmacy, pets and cards/floral.
