UMC, Inc

We've developed a unique kitting process that allows us to save time, work more efficiently, and manage our inventory better. In today's blog, we want to share more about this process and why it's been so successful for our team at UMC.

Mass Timber and steel hybrid multi-family projects combine the strength of steel with all the benefits of timber. Not only are these projects less expensive than all steel/concrete builds, but they are also more environmentally friendly. For example, new all-wood connections are replacing the need for steel connectors as a cheaper and more environmentally sustainable option. We’re excited to work on these projects and be at the forefront of more environmentally sustainable building techniques!

If you're being challenged, just keep looking ahead. You'll get there.

Mass timber builds are gaining popularity, and it’s easy to see why. These projects offer eco-friendliness, affordability, and incredible design flexibility—making them an ideal choice for multi-family construction. As a plumbing and HVAC firm specializing in turnkey services, we've worked on several timber projects!

Construction material prices slightly increased by 0.4% in July, driven by rising petroleum and natural gas prices. While material prices rise and fall often, we always watch the market so we’re prepared. We’ve also developed strong relationships with our suppliers, and our purchasing team is well-equipped to navigate these price changes, ensuring we remain on track and within project budgets.

We believe in supporting our employees physical and mental well-being. We do this by providing mental health training, competitive compensation and benefits, and creating a welcoming, and supportive team.

We know how crucial it is to stay on budget and schedule, especially with rising project costs. That’s why at UMC, Inc., we’ve implemented cutting-edge systems, technology, and a dedicated team to ensure we meet your project deadlines efficiently and within budget.
