THE G.L. WILSON DIFFERENCE In-House Design, Engineering, and Self-Performance in the Field OUR DESIGN/BUILD PROCESS Design, Engineering, and Construction Management. One Company, One Team, One Vision. One of the major benefits of having G.L. Wilson’s design, estimating, and project management teams all working together in-house is the constant communication and coordination throughout each phase of a project. As soon as a schematic design is developed, our engineers, designers, estimators, and project managers begin collaborating to deliver the highest-quality product for our clients. As the design team begins developing building design and civil engineering, they regularly consult with the estimating and project management teams to ensure to ensure a high quality and cost-effective design meeting the customer's goals and expectations. At each stage, every department is given the opportunity to provide input and share their expertise to support well-informed decisions. During the preconstruction phase, cost estimates are developed at key milestones and presented alongside progress drawings for the client’s review and feedback. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Schematic Design / Budget Development Deliverables at this stage include: A high-level floor plan and site layout are established. A preliminary budget is created using historical cost data and current market conditions. Once the schematic design and budget are approved by the client, the project proceeds to the preliminary design phases. Building Design Civil/Site Plan Design Cost Estimate Deliverables at this stage include: A finalized floor plan that meets the owner’s requirements. Defined exterior elevations with general notes on materials and finishes. Preliminary Civil Drawings Featuring: Accurate placement of site components such as buildings, driveways, parking areas, and stormwater ponds. A basic stormwater review to determine preliminary requirements. Utility connection points and estimated utility line quantities. A preliminary estimate is then prepared, offering a more detailed cost analysis than the schematic budget. If the client is satisfied with the design and estimate, the project moves forward to final design. If adjustments are needed, G.L. Wilson revises the plans or applies value engineering as directed. This phase typically includes multiple coordination meetings with the client. Permit Drawings Final Estimate Preparation of full permit-ready construction documents, including: Architectural plans Civil drawings PME and fire sprinkler systems Structural and Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) details Development of the final contract estimate The Next Step: Construction The Ability to Self-Perform G.L.

Statesville, NC Preservation Statesville Statesville, NC The Holland Building, which is now home to the Statesville Historical Collection, has a rich history of its own. It was constructed in 1919 on the site of the grand Hotel Iredell, which had burned down a few years earlier. Over the years, the building has housed a variety of businesses, including Ramsey’s, Woolworth's, and the Westmoreland Antique Mall in the 2010s. In 2022, a group of local history enthusiasts approached the building owner about the possibility of renovating the Downtown property and turning it into a permanent home for the Statesville Historical Collection.
