Project Overview

A new headquarters built around manufacturing, people and long-term growth.

Advanced Building Corporation delivered a new corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility for Wick Buildings in Mazomanie, Wisconsin, combining production, warehouse, assembly, office, training and employee-support functions in one coordinated campus.

 

The project included approximately 98,172 square feet of first-floor space and 9,843 square feet of second-floor space. Major components included a 300-by-300-foot pre-engineered metal warehouse and manufacturing building, a 110-by-75-foot office building with mezzanine, steel and wood shop areas, finished-goods storage, a learning center, offices, employee spaces, site utilities, paving, fencing, stormwater ponds, biofilter areas, landscaping and a fully sprinklered building.

Result

Completed per schedule

The office component pairs a durable metal envelope with a full-height curtainwall façade and landscaped entry.

Project Requirements

Many scopes, one coordinated move-in.

The work required full design-build delivery while integrating a large manufacturing facility, corporate offices, a mezzanine, specialty interior systems and relocation from Wick’s existing operation.

01

Coordinate curtainwall, mezzanine construction, DIRTT wall systems, furniture, AV/IT and low-voltage work.

02

Keep field dimensions, vendor access, electrical and data needs, and installation sequencing aligned with the schedule.

03

Plan production-equipment relocation and the HVAC, electrical and low-voltage support needed for startup.

ABC’s Approach

Single-source leadership from concept through occupancy.

ABC hired and managed the architect, civil engineer, design-build MEP/FP contractors and major trade partners, creating one clear point of responsibility for design coordination, permitting, cost, procurement, schedule, site logistics and owner communication.

Construction Process

A clear sequence for a complex design-build program.

The schedule moved from early design and permitting through long-lead procurement, building enclosure, systems integration, interiors, equipment relocation and coordinated turnover.

PHASE 01

Design & Permitting

Design development, civil coordination, plan review, stormwater strategy and permitting.

PHASE 02

Site & Foundations

Mass grading, utilities, water and sewer connections, foundations, paving and access.

PHASE 03

Structure & Enclosure

PEMB erection, roofing, siding, mezzanine work, doors, windows and curtainwall.

PHASE 01

Systems & Interiors

MEP/FP, office build-out, DIRTT walls, lighting, HVAC, AV/IT and furniture.

PHASE 05

Move-In & Occupancy

Equipment relocation, startup, punch list, owner training and final turnover.

Project Photography

Built for both corporate identity and production performance.

Large-format photography gives future case studies room to show exterior architecture, interior experience, specialty details and operational spaces without turning the page into a long text block.

Long-Term Performance

Durable systems designed for Wisconsin conditions.

The project combines practical site infrastructure with energy-conscious building systems intended to support efficient operation and low-maintenance performance.

Stormwater Management

Ponds, biofilter and infiltration areas, erosion control and coordinated drainage.

Efficient Lighting

LED site and interior lighting across office and manufacturing environments.

Comfort & Zoning

High-performance office HVAC zoning and radiant floor heat at the perimeter.

Durable Envelope

Insulated roof and wall systems designed to meet Wisconsin energy code.

Project Outcome

Schedule certainty for a major operational transition.

ABC delivered Wick Buildings’ new headquarters and manufacturing facility at the confirmed final cost, including owner-directed change orders, while maintaining alignment across design, construction, furniture, technology and equipment relocation.

A complex design-build project led from concept through occupancy—with one team accountable for decisions, coordination and field execution.
