Our Process: From Planning to Turnover—Built for Predictability

 At Broad Reach Construction Management, every Apex warehouse project follows a proven, step-by-step process that keeps stakeholders informed, costs transparent, and operations safe. Here’s how we turn your goals into a finished facility that performs from day one:


1. Discovery & Code Scan

We begin by reviewing your site conditions, intended use, and operational requirements to identify zoning, egress, and fire-protection needs. Our team conducts a full code and occupancy analysis to confirm allowable construction types, building height, and floor area limits—essential for warehousing and logistics operations in Apex’s industrial zones.
Outcome: You start with a clear understanding of what’s possible under current regulations, avoiding costly redesigns later.


2. Concept & Budget Development

Next, we translate your operational workflow into an efficient layout that supports storage density, racking height, dock counts, and circulation paths. Our pre-construction team prepares conceptual drawings and a Class IV/V estimate that outlines projected costs and phasing options.
Outcome: You receive a transparent budget early—aligned with your capacity goals and growth plans—so you can make informed investment decisions before design begins.


3. Permitting & Procurement

Once the design is finalized, we manage all submittals, including structural, fire protection, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) packages. Our team coordinates directly with the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) in Apex and Wake County to streamline plan reviews, issue long-lead material orders, and lock in vendor pricing.
Outcome: Fewer permitting delays, no missing paperwork, and materials on site exactly when needed.


4. Construction & Safety Management

Your project is led by a dedicated superintendent who maintains strict schedule control, oversees trade sequencing, and performs daily Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) inspections. We enforce Broad Reach’s zero-incident safety culture with jobsite orientations, signage, and documentation updated daily.
Outcome: Work progresses efficiently and safely—with full visibility into schedule milestones and budget performance.


5. Turnover & Closeout

When construction wraps, we conduct a comprehensive walkthrough to confirm all punch items are complete. You’ll receive as-built drawings, operations and maintenance (O&M) manuals, system training for your staff, and a clear warranty package for peace of mind.
Outcome: A ready-to-use warehouse—clean, certified, and fully documented for future facility management.


Staying Operational? We’ve Got You Covered.

Many clients in Apex continue receiving and shipping while construction is underway. Our team uses phased scheduling, temporary barriers, and off-hour work to maintain full life-safety compliance and minimize business disruption.
Outcome: You stay productive throughout the project—no shutdowns, no safety compromises.
