A new brick manufacturing complex including multiple pre-engineered metal buildings totaling 400,000 SF under roof. The project consists of the main plant and manufacturing line, clay storage, grinding and grinding storage, reclaimer, maintenance, sorting and wrap station, fuel tank area, loading dock and sales office.
The project was completed under a Design Build contract. The Owner came to Rogers-O’Brien with their civil engineering partner Freese and Nichols that provided programming and conceptual design and civil engineering services for the project. We were given their prototype engineering drawings and manufacturing line schematics and directed to work with our subcontractor partners to provide full service design, engineering and construction (design-assist). Brick manufacturing commenced January 2016.

Part of the Cypress Waters development in Dallas, Texas, this 327,000 SF 4-story shell tilt-wall office and parking garage serves as a new regional headquarters for CoreLogic bringing 1,300 local employees from the existing Westlake and Richardson locations. The embedded CoreLogic logo on the building was achieved through the use of a fritted glass technique whereby the color is integral of the glass and not a decal or applied sticker. Rogers-O’Brien documented 49 weather-delay days during the construction of this project. The entire building site was matted to prevent sinking and sandbags used. Even with significant weather delays the building was delivered on time. Through buy-out savings Rogers-O’Brien was able to return $640,992 to the owner which they used for tenant-improvement upgrades.
Building II started as site retaining walls only for two new building additions adjacent to the current site and then evolved into the entire Building 2 facility including data center ft up complete in 7.5 months. This tilt-wall and precast structure houses a single tenant (Fortune 100 client) with 18 MW of critical load, totaling 188,617 SF. With a 7.5 month schedule, this ground-up project was completed on time from start to a fully commissioned data center with 4 months of around-the-clock construction. To reduce noise to an adjacent residential neighborhood and two separate utility yards, 30’ tall sound barrier walls were installed on the entire west side of the project site. These walls consisted of poured-in-place concrete, tilt panels and precast at various areas of the building to remain within the sound ordinance levels.
The Methodist Richardson Medical Center Bush/Renner Hospital includes a 266,250 SF acute-care hospital to complement the existing physician office building, emergency room and cancer center.
