Metal panels define the exterior. Caston built the work behind them, too.
Metal panels are a defining visual element at Cedar Hall. Their joints, edges, and transitions had to read cleanly across the finished elevations.
The work also brought CMU, metal stud framing, drywall, and lath and plaster under Caston's package, connecting prominent exterior surfaces with the assemblies behind and around them.
How Caston Built It
The approach that kept the date
Metal panels at the forefront
Caston self-performed the metal panel scope, giving the project's defining exterior finish direct craft and field control.
Transitions coordinated together
Metal panels, CMU, framing, drywall, and plaster were coordinated as related parts of one building rather than isolated finishes.
Framing behind the finish
Metal stud framing established the lines and backing needed for the drywall, plaster, and panel work that followed.
One accountable package
Caston carried the CMU alongside its self-performed specialty scopes, reducing handoffs across the exterior and interior work.
