On TCG's data center staging campus outside Dallas, Texas, Building 1, a 100,000 SF pre-engineered metal building, went from start of erection to sign-off in 41 days. All three buildings, 300,000 SF of PEMB erection and insulation, finished 30 days ahead of schedule. Actual speed depends on steel delivery, foundation readiness, crane access, and weather. See the PEMB cost per SF guide for budgeting.

Yes. The newest Short on this page shows three 100,000 SF PEMBs TCG delivered for the staging and storage campus of a new data center outside Dallas, finished 30 days early. Staging and laydown space has to be ready before the main data center build can move, so schedule certainty matters. See Dallas data center construction and the data center cost guide.

Insulated metal panels are prefabricated building envelope panels that combine an insulating foam core with interior and exterior metal facings. They are the standard envelope for cold storage, food processing, cannabis, data centers, and cleanrooms. TCG provides single-source IMP supply and installation and offers an instant IMP cost estimator.

Terrapin Construction Group builds cold storage and warehouse, cannabis, healthcare and medical office, data center, industrial and manufacturing, self-storage, and restaurant and hospitality projects, among others, as a design-build general contractor licensed in all 50 states.

TCG installs insulated metal panels nationwide, with more than 1,000,000 SF completed across 38 states using regionally based, specialized crews. Recent project footage on this page includes Minnesota, Kentucky, Texas, and California projects. See IMP installation and cold storage construction for details.

Yes. TCG is building a cannabis cultivation facility in Lexington, Kentucky. Recent footage on this page covers the framing phase and trenching for underground plumbing and electrical ahead of insulated metal panel installation, with the project running ahead of schedule. Kentucky is one of the fastest moving emerging cannabis markets in 2026. See our Kentucky cannabis facility construction page.

Grading, compaction, and foundation layout have to be built to the PEMB manufacturer's anchor bolt and reaction drawings, not a generic slab plan, because pre-engineered metal building frames carry tight erection tolerances. Set the anchor bolts off location and the steel does not fit, which costs schedule before erection even starts. Footage on this page shows 100,000 SF of excavation on a California PEMB project ahead of steel.
