Roofing Supply Warehouse
In 2009, there were not very many commercial jobs going up in the Lowcountry. We were fortunate to get the contract for Rowe Supply’s warehouse just outside Bluffton, South Carolina. Malphrus Construction mucked the site and brought in over 200 loads of good compactable material. Malphrus warned us that if we didn’t use an expensive french drain system under our concrete parking lot, it would crack to pieces. They were wrong. The concrete parking lot is 8 inches thick and it has withstood over a decade of heavy tractor trailers loaded with roofing material and forklift abuse. Under the concrete is 6 inches of compacted granite crusher run. We started pouring the slab and parking lot at 1:30 am and finished them around lunch time the next day. Buddy Stone helped with the steel building. Ed Ingram did the build out on the Kitchen. Chase Ingram designed the diamond plate countertops- they should last a lifetime.

Decorative Concrete Walls on Steel Building
By using wooden forms, concrete craftsmen show-off their artistic side. We recently built decorative walls on this mechanic shop in Okatie, South Carolina. The walls will protect the relatively fragile steel building sheathing from dings and dents. Steel rebar, combined with commercial grade concrete fibers, add both tensile and shear strength to the walls. Ashley Ingram, General Contractor 843 986 1000
