Wolverine Building Group Honored for Excellence in Construction for DeWys Metal Solutions Expansion with Progressive AE

The design-build project, completed in August 2024, significantly enhanced the DeWys campus and nearly tripled the size of the company’s existing facility to better support growth and operational needs. The office addition features consolidated C-suite, modern conference spaces, and upgraded workstations, delivering a flexible, collaborative environment for DeWys’ leadership and team members.

Wolverine Building Group served as the design-builder on the project, contributing architectural design, interior design, mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP), and fire protection plans. The building’s exterior was designed in collaboration with Progressive AE (now Progressive Companies), bringing together teams to deliver a cohesive and functional workplace environment while the facility remained fully operational throughout construction.

“We’re incredibly honored to receive this award,” said Michael Beuschel, Vice President of Construction. “This project reflects the collaboration and trust between Wolverine, Progressive AE, and DeWys Metal Solutions. Together, we delivered a facility that supports their growth strategy and enhances employee experience.”

The project was submitted to the Excellence in Construction Awards program by Wolverine Building Group and evaluated by an independent panel of judges for craftsmanship, design quality, and owner satisfaction — hallmarks of the competition administered annually by ABC WMC. (ABC Western Michigan)
