This project was initiated to develop a large-scale cooler storage facility totaling over 31,000 square feet in Illinois. The project evolved over time, requiring multiple design revisions, scope adjustments, and pricing updates as it progressed. One of the primary challenges was navigating shifting timelines and project uncertainty early on, including changes in project leadership, ongoing value engineering, and coordination with multiple stakeholders. Maintaining flexibility and responsiveness throughout the bidding and preconstruction phases was critical to keeping the project moving forward.
The PermaTherm Solution
The PermaTherm Cold Storage Solution
PermaTherm partnered closely with the project team from early budgeting through final production, providing updated quotes, design support, and product guidance as the project scope evolved. The team ultimately selected PermaCore PHF43 panels, leveraging poly-iso insulation technology designed for superior thermal performance and structural integrity.
Throughout the process, PermaTherm remained proactive and responsive — adjusting pricing, supporting design revisions, and helping the customer navigate key decisions. During construction, the team coordinated closely on production timelines, payment structures, and delivery logistics to meet the project schedule.
When minor issues arose in the field, PermaTherm acted quickly to resolve them. Replacement panels were provided at no charge, reinforcing commitment to customer service and project success.
Results/Outcome
Results/Outcome
Despite early project uncertainties, the final result was a successfully delivered cooler storage facility built with a high-performance insulated panel system. The use of PermaCore panels provided a durable, energy-efficient building envelope designed to meet the demands of temperature-controlled storage.
The streamlined panel system supported an efficient installation process, while PermaTherm’s hands-on support helped keep the project on track from preconstruction through completion. The team’s ability to adapt to changes, respond quickly to field conditions, and maintain clear communication contributed to a smooth overall experience.
