Unifying Our Team Under One Roof: The Journey to Cardinal Construction’s New Building
Prior to 2019, Cardinal Construction operated from two separate locations: an office space in downtown Waterloo and a warehouse and yard in a nearby industrial area. While these locations served us well for many years, providing ample space for our administrative and operational needs, we began to recognize some challenges. To address these challenges and enhance our operational efficiency, we made the decision to relocate both our office and warehouse into one unified building. This move would not only streamline our operations by centralizing our resources but also strengthen our company culture by bringing our entire team under one roof.
Constructed largely of precast concrete, our new warehouse is designed with functionality and efficiency at its core. The building boasts ample storage space for materials and tools, ensuring that everything our team needs is readily accessible. This improved organization minimizes downtime and maximizes productivity, allowing us to maintain the high standards our clients expect.
A dedicated carpentry room within the warehouse provides our skilled carpenters with a space to work on custom projects. In addition to the carpentry room, the warehouse features multiple bays that house our shop, storage and inventory area, wash bay, and overhead crane. This setup not only streamlines our operations but also significantly enhances our ability to serve our clients efficiently. With all our resources centralized in one location, we can respond more quickly to client needs and project demands. The warehouse embodies our commitment to operational excellence and client satisfaction, providing a solid foundation for our continued growth and success. Our new office is a testament to modern construction techniques, featuring a wood-framed structure with metal panel siding. The concrete floors and open truss roofing system make our building an educational tool for our team, clients, and students looking to learn more about the trades to showcase the practical applications of these materials.
In conclusion, our new office is more than just a place to work; it is a symbol of our dedication to excellence in construction. It provides a collaborative environment for our team, serves as an educational tool for our clients, and stands as a testament to modern construction techniques and materials. We are proud of this new space and excited about the opportunities it brings for our team and our clients.
Welcome to Cardinal Construction, where innovation and quality meet to create exceptional results.
