What the client had to say about us
Testimonial
"Our new 20,000 sq. ft. facility enabled us to double our warehousing and distribution business, improve the customer experience and dramatically reduce operational costs. After receiving a recommendation from business associates we selected Munger due to its reputation and the confidence that they earned during the consultative selling process. We also liked the work they did for Shoreline Auto Body. Many ideas were presented with respect to the building foundation and in designing a facility that was higher than originally planned. Munger knew what would be acceptable to the town of North Branford. This project might not have been approved without Munger’s involvement in this phase. We ran our business while Munger ran the project."

Case Study
The Situation
In order to more effectively manage their growing full service distribution business, R&R Freight owners decided to invest in a new state of the art facility that would enable operational cost efficiencies. Pat Munger Construction Company, Inc. was selected to build a new 20,000 sq. ft. warehouse and freight transfer facility.
Problem
The Challenges
1
R&R Freight's business plan called for more space than the town would approve due to perceived wetlands in the property's perimeter, so management was forced to settle for a smaller building footprint that met code requirements.
2
Balance zoned building height with cleared internal heights to optimize racking space.
3
Build a state of the art facility that would enable operational cost efficiencies.
Solution
The Resolutions
1
Munger and Criscuolo Engineering optimized warehouse space by designing a building that rose vertically higher than was originally planned.
2
A new Varco-Pruden pre-engineered steel warehouse and freight transfer facility features a low profile standing seam roof and high volume ceiling level sprinklers that are more space efficient than in-rack sprinklers.
3
Narrow-aisle laser guided forklift system enables twice the storage capacity compared to traditional wide-aisle forklift environments.
4
State of the art loading docks optimize freight transfer time.
5
Motion sensor lighting reduces energy costs.
Outcome
the final product
R&R Freight was able to double its warehousing and distribution business and no longer needs to inefficiently rent off-site warehouse space to serve its customers. R&R Freight's operational costs have been dramatically reduced while significantly improving the customer experience.
