Woodland Crossing Apartments
359 windows, 14 buildings, one crew — how Elegant delivered a full building envelope across a 290,000 sq.ft. apartment complex while every building was going up at once.
The Challenge:
Fourteen buildings. All going up at the same time. Every one of them needed weather-resistive barrier, 359 total windows, and fiber-cement siding — and none of it could hold up the GC's schedule.
On a typical apartment project, you work in phases. Finish one, move to the next. Woodland Crossing didn't work that way. With construction happening across all 14 structures simultaneously, our crew had to be in multiple places at once — sequencing installs around framing crews, coordinating material staging across the entire site, and adjusting day to day as conditions shifted.
One missed delivery could ripple across the whole project. The margin for error was basically zero.
Our Solution:
We mapped the entire site and built a rolling schedule that tracked every building's readiness independently. Instead of waiting for all 14 to reach the same stage, we moved crews building to building based on which ones were ready for the next phase — WRB first, then windows, then siding.
Material staging was the other half of the puzzle. With 359 windows spread across 14 buildings, we couldn't just dump everything on site and sort it out later. We coordinated deliveries in waves, matched to the install sequence, so the right windows showed up at the right building at the right time.
Daily communication with the GC kept the whole thing moving. When framing got ahead on one building or fell behind on another, our dedicated project manager adjusted accordingly the same day. No downtime, no bottlenecks.
The Result: Woodland Crossing got its full building envelope. WRB, 359 windows, and fiber-cement siding across all 14 buildings — delivered on schedule. No delays to the GC's timeline, no buildings sitting exposed waiting on us. The kind of project where the coordination is the hard part, and nobody notices because it all just worked.
