INDUSTRY TRENDS
SEATTLE DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION TRENDS

End-users, especially e-commerce retailers, seeking to expand their distribution networks nationwide in response to consumer online shopping trends and same day delivery expectations sparked major growth of the industrial market over the past year. While this consumer driven demand was onset by the Covid-19 pandemic, it is not expected to slow down anytime soon. In fact, in addition to reporting record high absorption rates over the past 12 months, CBRE expects growth to continue for the next 5 to 10 years. In the Northwest market, industrial construction volumes are at an all time high as absorption rates follow suit and end-users continue to drive demand for logistics and distribution space.

As the number one builder of distribution and warehouse space in the U.S., ARCO has completed hundreds of industrial projects coast to coast. With more than 75% of annual revenue attributed to repeat clientele, now more than ever, our developer and end-user clients are counting on ARCO’s experience and expertise as they expand their distribution networks throughout the Northwest, and nationwide.

DELIVERY
33% faster overall delivery

ARCO’s project delivery method combines quality of design and construction, management of expense, and adherence to schedule into a single point of responsibility. As a result, our customers reap the benefit of total integration. Our team of design-build construction experts effectively gain an understanding of each client’s business and analyze the key components to reduce exposure and provide the best value to clients.

ARCO’s extensive preconstruction services address the crucial elements of a project in its earliest stages, allowing for decisions to be made with full knowledge of their impact on cost, schedule, and scope. Our unique design-build process removes the risk of overspending on design and construction by providing clients with a firm price proposal and yields an average overall delivery speed 33% faster than that of traditional plan-and-spec construction.

Additionally, ARCO’s design-build approach is unique in that we spend time up front completing preliminary design and soliciting subcontractor feedback to provide a firm, lump sum proposal for our best solution. This is done before any design dollars are spent, transferring the financial risk of the construction project away from the client and entirely to ARCO.
