The Crown Group
Country Corners Shopping Center

To provide all design, engineering and construction required for the development of a new 45,000 S.F. Retail Shopping Center complete with parking facilities and tenant refurbishments.

The Crown Group and Schultz Sav-O Stores contracted UISC for their third joint venture in the development of a Retail Shopping Center. The two previous projects, similar in size and design, were completed ahead of schedule and within budget. Based on the record of success, The Crown Group selected UISC for this fast-track construction project in South Elgin.

Scope of work included the following:

• 37,228 S.F. Piggly Wiggly grocery store
• 7,800 S.F. Retail Shopping Center consisting of six tenant spaces
• 4" thick reinforced concrete slab
• E.P.D.M. roofing system
• All Parking and Site Development

In order to fast-track construction and reduce cost, UISC completed all mechanical, plumbing and electrical work on a Design/Build basis. The development of the site and construction was completed within six months of contract award. This was one month ahead of schedule, with total extra costs (due to design changes) held to 1/2 of 1% of the contract amount.
