New Construction & Build-Out — Door and Dock from Day One
Getting doors and docks right during construction saves significant money and headaches later. Wilcox works directly with GCs, developers, and project managers to spec, supply, and install commercial doors, loading dock equipment, and access systems from the ground up — on schedule, on spec, fully code compliant.
Immediate Service Request Form
One Subcontractor. Every Door. Every Dock. On Schedule.
Most construction projects involve three or four vendors just to get doors and dock equipment coordinated. Wilcox handles it all under one contract. Our project managers work directly with your site super, coordinate sequencing with other trades, pull permits, and commission every system before handover. You get one point of contact, full documentation, and a facility that’s ready to run from day one.

Our New Construction Process — From Tender to Turnover
1. Tender & Pre-Qualification
We respond to tenders, provide references, and supply all union certification documentation that GCs and owners require. No chasing Wilcox for paperwork — it’s ready.
2. Site Measurements & Submittals
Before fabrication, we take field measurements and submit shop drawings for engineer review. Every opening is confirmed before product is ordered.
3. Material Procurement
We source from Raynor, Blue Giant, Pentalift, Rytec, and other top manufacturers — with lead times managed to fit your construction schedule.
4. Rough-In Coordination
We coordinate with the GC for rough-in framing, electrical rough-in for operators, and structural embedments for dock equipment before concrete is poured.

Our Local 721 and 736 Ironworkers install all doors, frames, hardware, operators, dock levelers, seals, shelters, and vehicle restraints to spec and code.

New Construction — FAQ
Can Wilcox be included in a construction tender package?
Yes — we regularly participate in tenders for industrial, commercial, and institutional construction projects. We can provide pricing, references, union certification, and capability documentation to support your bid.
Do you handle permits for door and dock installations in new buildings?
Wilcox works with the GC or owner’s team on permit applications. We provide all required product specifications, engineering submittals, and compliance documentation.
What is the typical lead time for commercial door equipment?
Standard sectional doors typically ship in 4–6 weeks. High-speed doors and custom rolling steel can take 8–12 weeks. We manage procurement to align with your construction schedule.

Absolutely. We’ve worked on phased builds where different sections open on different dates. We coordinate installation sequences, temporary weather protection, and phased commissioning with the GC.

Yes. We install fire-rated rolling steel and sectional door assemblies to UL listing and NFPA 80 requirements, with all required labelling and documentation for building occupancy.
What's included in the turnover package at project completion?
Operations and maintenance manuals, warranty documentation, equipment serial numbers, commissioning records, cycle test results, and a walkthrough with the building owner or facilities team.
Can Wilcox handle a multi-location rollout for a new building portfolio?
Yes — national and multi-site rollouts are a core capability. We coordinate installation schedules, crew deployment, and documentation across multiple sites simultaneously.
Do you install HVLS fans in new construction?
