Most of its work has been in the Atlanta area, but Fox Building has built in North and South Carolina, Alabama, Florida and virtually every part of Georgia. The company works with clients in land selection, financing, budgeting, civil and architectural plans, permitting and construction. It has completed many construction projects in this capacity. It was the design-builder for two 200,000-square-foot (18,580-m2) distribution facilities for Brown Trucking Co., one in Columbus, Ga., and one in Montgomery, Ala. These were Fox Building’s largest projects to date. Fox Building is currently building a 30,000-square-foot (2,787-m2) facility in Charleston, S.C., for an Atlanta based marble and granite importer.The company also works on complex industrial and commercial tenant finish jobs, as well as building renovations. What makes it unique: “We establish relationships with our customers and work to maintain and improve the relationship through construction and afterwards,” said Fox Building President Terry Fox. “We look for projects where our extensive experience will bring value and contribute to the success of the process.” Working with metal: Affiliated with Nucor Building Systems, Fox Building has extensive experience in all types of metal construction, including metal buildings, standing-seam metal roofs, various types of metal wall panels, metal reroofing, metal building renovations and repairs, and architectural metal wall systems. Fox Building is a furnish and erect metal building subcontractor. In this capacity, it has worked with many of the Southeast’s largest and most successful general contractors. Fox Building recently completed a 250-foot (76-m) clear-span aircraft hangar at Fulton County Airport in Atlanta with Gay Construction Co., Atlanta, for Cox Communications. It also worked with Centex Rooney Construction Co., Plantation, Fla., erecting a 40,000-square-foot (3,716- m2) building for Bass Pro Shop in Destin, Fla. “We specialize in taking on the larger and more difficult metal building projects,” Fox said. The company also performs metal roof and wall furnish and erect services. It recently completed the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History in Kennesaw, Ga., with Atlanta-based Holder Construction. This involved installing metal roof and wall panels and insulation on a conventional structural steel-framed building. “Projects such as this one involve a great deal of planning and experience in the preparation and execution of the work,” Fox said. “Because of our extensive knowledge and our contacts within the metal construction industry, we are uniquely qualified to perform this type of work.” The company philosophy: “As far as how things work internally, I'm not a big fan of a lot of paperwork. We are a small organization, and I have a great staff of hard-working and dedicated people. I try to stay informed about what is going on and set the overall direction for the company,” Fox said. “Otherwise, I stay out of the way. We do have incentives for everyone who impacts profitability that are based on annual gross profit objectives. “We build as if it were our own building. We don’t take shortcuts. We consider the unseen things just as important as those that can be seen. We want to have a better relationship with our customers at the end of the job than we had at the beginning.” | ||||||||||
