Legacy Fabric Building Solutions offers a unique and innovative approach to building construction. Faster construction times, lower maintenance, and energy efficiencies are just a few advantages that set Legacy Buildings apart from traditional options. Don’t just take our word for it, here’s what previous contractors have had to say.
Faster Construction and Reduced Costs
Legacy buildings leverage pre-fabricated components and a streamlined design process for swift construction. This translates to significant cost savings compared to traditional building methods that utilize materials such as wood or steel, especially considering those materials depend on supply chains.
Contractors like Justin Morrison from The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company praise Legacy for its, “turnkey process relating to design, construction, and speed of project completion.” This streamlined process reduces complexities associated with multiple parties, ensuring efficient scheduling and cost management. This was particularly important to Justin and his team during the construction of the Bay Club, a tennis facility in San Francisco.
“Legacy pretty much drove our schedule–how that building was going up, when it was going up, and managed how we coordinated with other contractors. That was huge.”
Effective coordination with other contractors is key, emphasizing the need for flexibility to align schedules with operational requirements. Efficiencies lead to faster construction times resulting in reduced costs across the board, and who doesn’t like that?
Administrative Work
Navigating paperwork, especially in government contracts, can be daunting. However, Legacy's proactive approach alleviates burdens associated with documentation, providing prompt and comprehensive support throughout the process.
Justin Shaw, of Carolina Civil Works in Durham, NC worked with Legacy on the Neuse River Resource Recovery Facility for the city of Raleigh, NC. He shared, “there were miles of paperwork to follow, keep up with, and turn in just to document the stuff that they [the government] required.”
Working with Legacy, he said, “was a pleasure, from estimating, to preconstruction to the finished product. It was all very fluid. My questions were well received and answered promptly. Legacy went above and beyond for everything I needed documentation and otherwise.”
Clear Communication Throughout the Project
Legacy understands that good communication is paramount to a successful building project. A dedicated team of product consultants will guide you through every phase, from initial design discussions to final construction. They will actively listen to your needs, offer expert advice based on their industry knowledge, and keep you informed throughout the entire process. This open communication fosters trust and ensures your project stays on track and meets your budget.
Andrew Kalish from The LandTek Group in Bay Shore, NY, worked with Legacy to erect the Stony Brook University field house for the college’s football team. He shared, “Legacy’s engineering is first class. I loved working through the installation process. The plans were good. The communication was good. We always knew what to expect next.”
As with all projects, open, honest communication is key. Andrew said, “There were hiccups along the way, as to be expected, however at the end of the day it was probably one of the most trouble-free experiences I’ve ever had with a contractor.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Legacy–everybody from the top to the bottom–even the guys on the crew were stellar.”
Durability and Longevity
Legacy Fabric Buildings utilize a robust steel frame designed to withstand various weather conditions, including heavy snow loads, strong winds, and seismic activity. The exterior cladding is crafted from a premium, 28-ounce PVC fabric called ExxoTec™. This fabric is remarkably durable, resistant to UV rays, and carries a 25-year warranty.
Lee Smith, from Harris Design and Construction, worked with Legacy to build a salt storage facility in Montgomery County, MD.
“Fabric buildings are great to have. They are durable and they go up quickly. That’s what everybody wants, they want things done right now. Fabric is definitely a good option to look into to achieve just that.”
While fabric buildings share similarities with traditional metal structures, nuanced differences underscore their superiority in various aspects. Notably, fabric structures offer superior thermal insulation and acoustics, creating comfortable and quieter interiors compared to their steel-clad counterparts.
Energy Efficiency and Easy Maintenance
The unique fabric cladding of Legacy buildings offers superior thermal insulation properties. This translates to significant energy savings on heating and cooling costs throughout the year. Additionally, the translucent nature of the fabric allows natural light to permeate the interior, creating a bright and welcoming environment while reducing reliance on artificial lighting.
Unlike traditional buildings that require regular maintenance for painting, roof repair, and other upkeep tasks, Legacy Fabric Buildings are virtually maintenance-free. The ExxoTec™ fabric is engineered to resist dirt accumulation and can be easily cleaned with a simple rain shower or occasional pressure washing. Legacy Fabric Buildings offer a compelling proposition for contractors and building owners seeking efficient, durable, and customizable solutions. By prioritizing effective communication, innovation, and client-centricity, Legacy continues to redefine the standards of construction excellence in the fabric-building industry. Whether considering a first fabric project or exploring alternatives to traditional construction, Legacy's comprehensive approach promises unparalleled benefits and lasting value.
