THS Constructors’ headquarters is in Greenville. The company has additional offices in Atlanta and in Sanford, N.C. Its service area encompasses the two Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and Virginia.

The Virginia Board for Contractors has authorized the firm to provide general contracting, design-build and construction management services in the state’s 95 counties.  Now that it has a contractor’s license to operate in Virginia, THS Constructors is pursuing projects across the state in core markets such as industrial, distribution, commercial, office buildings, institutional and healthcare.

THS Constructors operates in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia, but much of its activity has centered on the Upstate, where it has ongoing or completed projects for Greenville Hospital System, TIC Properties, Clear Channel Communications, The Banker’s Exchange, Johnson Controls, Timken, and Eurokera North America.

The project for TIC Properties included approximately 4,500 square feet of executive offices, common work areas, break rooms and the lobby, all on the 12th floor. It was finished on time and within budget.

THS Constructors renovated Clear Channel Radio’s regional headquarters, a project covering 25,300 square feet on the 10th and 11th floors.  The new area is being used by radio stations WMYI, WSSL, WESC and WBZT for broadcast studios, production, sales and administration. The job was completed within a 10-week timeframe.

The project for The Banker’s Exchange encompasses 5,000 square feet of offices, work areas, break rooms and the lobby on the 2nd floor.  It has an eight-week schedule.

All three projects include demolition of existing areas; upfits to the mechanical electrical and fire protection systems; and finish work such as carpeting, paint, millwork and ceiling tiles. In addition, the projects have been executed in phases to minimize disruptions to the clients’ ongoing operations.

TIC Properties is a repeat client. THS Constructors also provided design-build services for the expansion of the FedEx Ground distribution center just off Interstate 85 in Greenville.  That facility is managed by TIC Properties on behalf of a tenant-in-common ownership.

The 10-week project included the addition of a Class 100,000 clean room and the renovation of the plant’s offices. Among the services THS Constructors provided were estimating, scheduling, procurement, project control and quality control.  The renovation portion of the project required the demolition of existing office space. Prior to startup, THS Constructors led a value engineering effort that brought costs in line with the client’s budget.

Eurokera is an international manufacturer of glass ceramic products for the home appliance market, including ranges, cooktops, stove windows, and glass doors for fireplaces.

The facility is managed by TIC Properties LLC of Greenville on behalf of the tenant-in-common ownership and is leased to FedEx Ground, which uses it for sorting, conveying and shipping packages.

The scope of work includes extensive site work as well as the relocation of underground utilities and stormwater retention areas.  The schedule is critical; delivering the facility within the 5½ month timeframe will allow FedEx Ground to install sorting and conveying equipment by the target date required in its business expansion plans.

Besides site development, the scope of work for the addition encompasses building construction, extensive foundations and retaining walls, as well as electrical and underground mechanical systems.

Among the services that THS Constructors is providing are estimating, value engineering, scheduling, permitting and procurement.

Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI) is a diversified, multi-industrial global leader in automotive experience, building efficiency and power solutions. The company has 136,000 employees in more than 1,000 locations, serving customers in 125 countries.

The scope of work encompasses site utilities, electrical and HVAC work, as well as the construction of a large mezzanine. The expanded structure will feature a steel frame covered by metal panels and a membrane roof.

THS Constructors is working closely with MOOG to provide a detailed options analysis on a broad range of building systems and utilities. MOOG will select the options that best meet its budget requirements. The goal of this extensive value engineering effort is to generate a 10 percent savings in project cost.

Besides value engineering, THS Constructors is providing services such as estimating, scheduling, permitting and procurement.  The project should be finished in eight months.

In addition to the expansion, THS Constructors is designing and building a 12,000-square-foot office that features a mezzanine.

MOOG Components Group designs and manufactures electrical slip rings and fiber optic rotary joints, brushless D.C. motors, and electromagnetic actuators for the aerospace, industrial and medical markets.

The general contractor and design-build company is pursuing projects in a broad range of markets, including manufacturing, distribution, commercial development, office, research and development, institutional and health care.

Initially THS Constructors is concentrating its efforts in South Carolina, Western North Carolina, Charlotte, northern Georgia and Atlanta.
