Introducing the Menomonie Wisconsin Virtual Spec Building
Few decisions will have the positive long-term effects to your business’s success as a new building and its location.
Previously there were two choices.
- Either the long, laborious process to build your facility from the ground up, or
- Locate in an existing building, forcing you to adapt to a less than perfect building.
Now there is a third option, the Menomonie Wisconsin Virtual Speculative Building.
The advantage of a Virtual Speculative Building over an existing building is the adaptability afforded by a virtual design. With a Virtual Speculative Building, the entire process of building a facility has been completed – except for the actual construction. Through this approach, we have developed full architectural plan sets, which can be cost-effectively custom-tailored to your process without the added burden of demolishing and/or renovating an existing structure.
