Absolute Construction of Plano, Texas, was called to a home in Frisco to put together an estimate for a customer looking to replace a storm-damaged concrete tile roof.

The home's new standing seam roof was formed at the jobsite from coil supplied by McElroy Metal.

Formerly the site of a bleak, surface parking lot, the Front Street Partners, LLC/Plante Moran Office Building is a five-story structure constructed directly on the scenic west bank of the Grand River in Grand Rapids, MI.

Another key goal was a design that would enable the structure to fit seamlessly into the urban neighborhood. CENTRIA’s Formawall® Dimension Series® helped to meet those goals.
