Combining expertise with attention to detail is crucial for building durable, resilient metal structures. Drawing on over seven decades of experience, Brookpark Design Builders has solidified its position in the industry by delivering projects that balance functionality and aesthetics and meet high architectural standards.

The family-owned business operates as a full-service contractor, offering a wide range of services beyond metal fabrication, including specialty cladding and manufacturing of wall panel systems. Its capabilities in fabricating custom systems, including in-house engineering, custom paint and coatings, are second to none.

These capabilities have made Brookpark a one-stop shop for all construction needs. Its progress is guided by a commitment to upholding the standards of quality and integrity that have been a cornerstone since its inception.

“Our long-standing success in the metal building systems industry has earned us a reputation that speaks to our ability to deliver outstanding project outcomes,” says Steve Friedmann, vice president.

Brookpark’s fully unionized workforce allows it to undertake state and government-funded projects that often require strict compliance with project labor agreements. This extensive experience in handling complex projects results in knowledgeable client partnerships.

In its role as a subcontractor, it works with general contractors and construction managers on large-scale projects. It plays a crucial role in guiding project development for both hard-bid and negotiated contracts. When clients bring initial concepts, it assesses feasibility, provides budgetary pricing and ensures meticulous planning and execution.

Brookpark's expertise was showcased during the renovation of a public facility. By installing new insulation systems and aluminum cladding, it skillfully transformed an aging structure into a modern, energy-efficient building. This enhancement elevated the building to meet contemporary energy codes and gave the structure a fresh and appealing look, garnering recognition in various publications. The success underscores its emphasis on teamwork and expertise throughout the construction process.

An experienced workforce with decades of industry knowledge enables the company to approach challenges creatively and confidently. Friedmann and his father, Ralph’s combined expertise of over two decades illustrates a legacy of craftsmanship and innovation that propels the company forward.

Brookpark prioritizes ongoing learning, ensuring its steel erection team attends relevant metal building installation courses. All forepersons are OSHA 30-hour training course certified and receive specialized training to stay abreast of the latest codes and requirements. Memberships in the Metal Building Contractors Association and the Rainscreen Association of North America further align Brookpark with industry innovations, allowing it to integrate advanced technologies into each project.

Safety is top of mind, with an in-house safety manager creating customized plans for each job site, including site-specific plans for every project, shared with all involved personnel. It protects the workforce and guarantees project integrity by adhering to stringent regulatory guidelines and conducting regular equipment inspections.

Success is driven by innovation in materials and techniques. This encompasses high-quality exterior cladding with specialty coatings that reduce heat absorption and advanced insulation materials like mineral wool for wall cavities, enhancing the energy efficiency and durability of the structures.
