Welcome Resource Center
Civic · Southern California
Caston self-performed eight scopes on the Welcome Resource Center, with metal panels, lath and plaster, and fiber cement panels all provided by Caston rather than the typical three separate contractors, and exterior finishes sourced from three different continents.

Three exterior scopes, one contractor.
The exterior combined metal panels, lath and plaster, and fiber cement panels, scopes that typically go to three separate contractors with three sets of tolerances.
The exterior finishes were sourced from three different continents, so procurement, lead times, and installation sequencing all had to be coordinated tightly.
How Caston Built It
The approach that kept the date
Three scopes became one
Metal panels, lath and plaster, and fiber cement panels were all provided through Caston instead of three separate contractors.
Global sourcing, local control
Exterior finishes sourced from three different continents were tracked and sequenced by the same team installing them.
Eight scopes under one contract
Framing, plaster, panels, scaffolding, sheet metal, rigid insulation, and air barriers moved as one package.
One tolerance chain
Because Caston built the framing, the barriers, and the panels, the exterior tolerances held from structure to finish.
