PROJECT DETAILS
Project Details
Shummi partnered with Blue Water Builders on a multi-phase transformation of its 17,350 SF facility, beginning with a complete interior redevelopment and followed by a comprehensive façade renovation and site improvements. The project created a highly specialized manufacturing environment alongside Class A office space, while modernizing the exterior to reflect the quality of the operations within.
Project Highlights
Complete interior demolition and buildout, transforming the existing space into 13,050 SF of production space and 4,300 SF of Class A office space.
Specialized production environment designed to accommodate twelve self-contained injection molding and packaging machines, with fully conditioned and humidity-controlled space, epoxy flooring, and finished walls and ceilings.
Major infrastructure upgrades including a new 2,000-amp, 480V electrical service, along with chilled water and compressed air systems distributed to each machine location.
Class A office buildout featuring private offices, conference rooms, open work areas, a break room, dedicated quality control room, custom paint, wall coverings, and decorative acoustical treatments.
Exterior transformation featuring a new storefront glazing system, aluminum composite material (ACM) panels, and a refreshed painted-brick façade.
Site improvements including new underground piping, earthwork and grading for water detention, and full asphalt replacement of the parking area.
The completed facility seamlessly integrates Shummi’s advanced manufacturing requirements with a polished office environment and modern exterior. By partnering with Shummi across multiple phases, Blue Water Builders was able to deliver a cohesive transformation from the inside out creating a facility designed to support both current operations and future growth.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
Blue Water Builders was an amazing partner from start to finish on our SHUMMI US building. They helped bring our vision to life from the 3D design stage all the way through construction, and the final result was exactly what we hoped for.
We had a lot of custom details, especially in our showroom, and the team handled everything with great care and craftsmanship. Scott and the entire team did a fantastic job, stayed responsive, and finished the project in just 5–6 months so we could open on time.
Since opening, so many of our retailers have commented on how beautiful and clean the building is. As a medical device company, clean room standards are extremely important to us, and Blue Water Builders really understood that.
I truly love this team. They will absolutely be my go-to company if I ever build another building.
