Examples Of Our Work
For the last 30 years, UBG has provided building envelope solutions for dozens of GCs and clients across California. Below are some examples that highlight our firm’s dedication to innovation, precision, and reliability.
- Block 19 – This residential waterfront and mixed-use complex consists of an apartment building, parking deck, and retail space. UBG was responsible for installing light gauge metal framing, drywall, EIFS, and specialty Nichia composite panels. During this project, we reordered our normal construction sequence so costly fall-protection measures could be eliminated and a faster timeline could be supported
- Flight At Tustin – This beautifully designed business campus contains office space, conference rooms, and a large parking garage. The design plans called fora 30-foot storefront without kickers. Our innovative team partnered with project engineers to develop a solution that involved window openings with cold-formed framing box headers. Through our collaborative efforts and creative thinking, we were able to come up with a perfect solution while keeping the project on track.
- Bighorn Golf Clubhouse and Penthouses – This 80,000 square-foot clubhouse serves as a great example of UBG’s comfort with large-scale projects. Not only was this building large, but it also had rounded shapes on both the interior and exterior, which made it tough to use ACM panels as planned. UBG recommended EIFS since they’re easier to install on curved walls and don’t diminish the building’s beauty and design. The recommendation not only saved the client money, but it allowed us to complete the installation in less time and finish the project sooner than anticipated.
At UBG, we love large-scale, innovative projects and are always on the lookout for GC’s and partners who aren’t afraid to think big. If you’re looking for a building envelope subcontractor that prioritizes safety, quality, and innovation, get in touch with us today.
