McCoy Rockford is pleased to announce the addition of prefabricated construction to its suite of architectural solutions through a partnership with Falkbuilt. As the premier Falkbuilt branch in the Houston and Austin areas, McCoy Rockford can leverage the technology, construction expertise and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes for which the Canadian-based manufacturer is known.
Architectural Solutions Account Executive Christine Michels, RID, IIDA, took the helm as McCoy Rockford’s resident expert on Falkbuilt products.
“Falkbuilt’s digital component construction methods allow project teams to realize their visions with incredible precision and speed,” Michels said. “As a factory-direct branch, McCoy Rockford can work directly with general contractors, architecture and design firms, project managers and end users to execute stunning interiors with minimal lead time.”
Since 2019, Falkbuilt has specialized in standard-setting interior prefabricated construction. Its factory-direct branches deliver end-to-end service, including pre-construction, project management, order entry, building permit submittals and installation. The efficiency and precision of this process are made possible by Echo, the company’s proprietary cloud computing platform that fuses design, manufacturing and delivery. Echo’s engineering-accurate models ensure design intent becomes constructed reality.
McCoy Rockford Vice President of Sales Becca Hand, who has spearheaded speed-to-market initiatives for clients who need to move quickly, said she is optimistic the partnership will enhance the company’s service offerings.
“This partnership marks a pivotal moment in McCoy Rockford’s long history of providing architectural solutions,” Hand said. “Becoming a Falkbuilt branch allows us to implement prefabricated construction methods while leveraging our comprehensive, customer-first approach to service.”
McCoy Rockford’s extensive suite of services differentiates the commercial interiors dealer from others in the industry. The firm supports clients throughout the project lifecycle, providing everything from design support and project management to distribution, installation and warehousing. This sophisticated distribution infrastructure complements Falkbuilt’s commitment to end-to-end quality.
In addition to shared quality considerations, both companies seek to further sustainability goals in the construction industry. By relying on technology-agnostic software that integrates data from existing platforms, Echo expedites collaboration, decision-making, modeling, manufacturing and delivery.
Shorter schedules and faithful adherence to design intent require less material and reduce emissions from manufacturing and freight. And with digital component construction, on-site waste is virtually nonexistent.
“McCoy Rockford shares Falkbuilt’s commitment to reducing waste. Sustainable methods benefit end users as well as the environment we all share,” said Michels, who maintains more than 25 years of experience in Houston and Austin.
Michels said she looks forward to seeing what the future holds for the companies and the clients they serve.
“I can’t wait to see what McCoy Rockford and Falkbuilt can accomplish together in the corporate, education, health care and life science markets,” she said. “Prefabrication construction opens so many doors for clients, and that’s the most exciting part — the ability to transform spaces with solutions that are as beautiful as they are cost-effective.”
