Fort Collins Industrial & Manufacturing Construction

TCG is the design-build general contractor for industrial, manufacturing, and warehouse projects across Fort Collins and Northern Colorado, with self-performed IMP installation and PEMB erection. We built the Industrial Sciences Building on the Colorado State University campus.

Fort Collins Industrial

Industrial and Manufacturing Construction in Northern Colorado

Northern Colorado's industrial vacancy sits near 3.9%, among the tightest in the region, driven by manufacturing, distribution, and food processing along the I-25 corridor and Amazon's logistics presence. TCG builds industrial and advanced manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and pre-engineered metal buildings from the foundation up.

We self-perform the scopes that drive industrial cost and schedule: insulated metal panel installation (over 1,000,000 SF across 38 states), PEMB erection, roofing, and flooring. That control, combined with design-build delivery, is how we hit aggressive industrial timelines. TCG is headquartered in Denver.

Scope

What We Build for Industry

🏭

Manufacturing & Advanced Mfg

Production floors, clean and controlled spaces, and heavy-power facilities for Northern Colorado's tech and manufacturing base.

📦

Warehouse & Distribution

High-clear-height distribution, dock packages, and logistics facilities along the I-25 corridor.

🧊

Cold Storage & Food Processing

Refrigerated and food-grade facilities with self-performed IMP envelopes.

🏗️

Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings

Fast, cost-efficient PEMB shells erected in-house for industrial and flex use.

IMP Installation

Self-performed insulated metal panel install, the thermal envelope for cold, food, and controlled-environment facilities. Price it with the IMP estimator.

🔬

Labs & Controlled Environments

Bioscience, clean energy, and R&D space tied to CSU's research economy.

Project Spotlight: CSU Industrial Sciences Building

TCG built the Industrial Sciences Building on the Colorado State University campus in Fort Collins, institutional-grade construction for teaching, research, and lab space at the heart of the university that anchors this market.

Our Fort Collins roots run deep. One of TCG's owners is a graduate of CSU's Construction Management program, right here in Fort Collins, so we bring a Ram's understanding of this campus, this trade base, and this market to every Northern Colorado industrial project.

Fort Collins Costs

How Much Does Industrial Construction Cost in Fort Collins?

Fort Collins industrial costs run at roughly a 1.10 to 1.20x national multiplier. PEMB and tilt shells sit at the low end, while heavy manufacturing and food processing carry the most cost. See our PEMB cost guide, warehouse cost guide, and distribution center guide.

PEMB Shell$45 to $110/SF
Warehouse$95 to $180/SF
Light Manufacturing$130 to $300/SF
Heavy Manufacturing$300 to $540/SF
Food Processing$180 to $440/SF

FAQ

Industrial Construction FAQ

How much does industrial construction cost in Fort Collins?

PEMB shells run about $45 to $110/SF, warehouses $95 to $180/SF, and manufacturing $130 to $540/SF depending on power and process. Use the AI estimator for your project.

Does TCG self-perform IMP installation?

Yes. We have installed over 1,000,000 SF of insulated metal panels across 38 states. Self-performing the envelope gives us direct control over cost, quality, and schedule. Get pricing from the IMP estimator.

Did TCG really build on the CSU campus?

Yes. We built the Industrial Sciences Building on the Colorado State University campus in Fort Collins, and one of our owners is a CSU Construction Management graduate.

Do you build PEMB and warehouses?

Yes. We erect pre-engineered metal buildings in-house and build warehouse and distribution facilities along the I-25 corridor.

Can you build food processing or cold storage?

Yes. We build food-grade and cold storage facilities with self-performed IMP envelopes engineered for thermal performance.

How long does an industrial build take?

A PEMB warehouse can deliver in 5 to 9 months, while heavy manufacturing runs longer. Design-build and early steel and panel procurement are the main levers for hitting an aggressive date.
