ARCO National Construction has been recognized among the nation’s leading manufacturing contractors by Engineering News-Record (ENR), ranking #15 in the publication’s 2026 Top Contractors rankings.
Supporting Complex Manufacturing Operations
Manufacturing projects require construction teams to understand far more than the building envelope. Production equipment, utility demand, process flows, structural loading, environmental requirements, automation, employee circulation, and future expansion must all be considered alongside traditional building systems.
ARCO works with manufacturers early in the development process to align facility design with production requirements and long-term business goals. By coordinating building systems, equipment needs, infrastructure, and construction sequencing before work begins, teams can identify potential conflicts earlier and develop solutions that protect cost and schedule.
This experience spans both new build-to-suit manufacturing facilities and renovations or expansions within existing operations, where careful phasing and coordination may be required to minimize disruption to ongoing production.
Planning for Performance, Flexibility, and Growth
Manufacturers are increasingly evaluating facilities based on their ability to support evolving processes, automation, equipment upgrades, and future capacity. Early planning is critical to ensuring electrical service, structural systems, clear heights, floor slabs, mechanical infrastructure, loading configurations, and other building components can accommodate both immediate and long-term operational requirements.
ARCO’s integrated approach allows construction considerations to inform design decisions early, helping clients improve constructability, identify value opportunities, and establish realistic schedules before major capital commitments are made.
The #15 ENR ranking further reinforces ARCO’s position as an experienced manufacturing construction partner capable of supporting sophisticated production environments across the country.
