Diffco LLC Office Building and Warehouse Construction
Project Overview
Gant Industries was selected for the new construction of a commercial office building and warehouse for Diffco LLC. This project involved the ground-up development of a 10-acre site, incorporating a wide range of construction elements, including a detention pond, site drainage, paving, and the construction of an 18,000-square-foot office building and a 7,000-square-foot warehouse. Additionally, the project included the installation of over 1,800 linear feet of fencingcomplete with an automatic gate and openers for enhanced security and access control.
Scope of Work
The scope of this project was extensive, covering the full spectrum of civil and structural development. Gant Industries was responsible for preparing the site through comprehensive grading, drainage, and paving work, ensuring the land was optimized for the construction of the new office and warehouse facilities. The site development also included the construction of a detention pond to manage stormwater runoff, ensuring regulatory compliance and environmental sustainability.
Key Team Members

Ground-Up Development and Site Infrastructure
The development of the 10-acre site required significant civil engineering and construction efforts. The construction of the detention pond was crucial for managing stormwater and preventing flooding on the property, while the installation of the site drainage and paving systems ensured that the site would remain functional and safe under various weather conditions. The team also installed over 1,800 linear feet of fencing, complete with an automatic gate, providing the client with a secure perimeter for the office and warehouse complex.
Challenges and Solutions
The large scale of the site and the need for precise civil engineering presented several challenges, particularly regarding stormwater management and site preparation. Gant Industries utilized advanced grading and drainage solutions to prepare the land for development, ensuring compliance with local environmental regulations. The installation of the automatic gate and fencing also required precise planning to ensure both security and ease of access for Diffco LLC’s operations.
Results and Impact
The successful completion of this project resulted in a modern and functional office and warehouse complex, meeting the operational needs of Diffco LLC. The 18,000-square-foot office building offers ample space for administration and operations, while the 7,000-square-foot warehouse provides extensive storage and logistics capabilities. The site is fully secured with over 1,800 linear feet of fencing, and the automatic gate provides both security and convenience for the property. The project was completed on time and within budget, demonstrating Gant Industries’ expertise in ground-up construction and large-scale site development.
