Reich Construction in Manassas, VA

A few years ago, in Manassas, Virginia, Reich Construction completed a 93,000-square-foot pre-engineered metal building originally planned as a two-story mini storage facility. During construction, the developer sold the building to a cannabis operation, which will now occupy the space. The structure features a single-slope roof with a 45-foot high eave and a 39-foot low eave, giving the building a distinctive profile while maintaining the structural efficiency typical of large PEMB systems. One of the most interesting aspects of this project is the building’s unusual footprint. Several obtuse angles were intentionally designed into the structure to maximize the zoning envelope of the property. By shaping the building to fit the site precisely, the developer was able to capture the greatest possible square footage while still providing the required parking to satisfy local zoning regulations. During the process, another challenge surfaced when the building’s original insulation design — a single layer in both the roof and walls — did not meet local code requirements. Situations like this highlight how building codes vary significantly from state to state and even between local jurisdictions. Virginia currently trails Maryland in code adoption, while North Carolina trails Virginia, and some municipalities add their own amendments to the International Building Code (IBC). Navigating those differences is a critical part of ensuring a project moves forward without costly surprises.
