Industrial TESTIMONIAL


I first heard of Trehel from a recommendation from my co-worker based on work at her church. Since then, Milliken has experienced a long successful working relationship with Trehel. We value consistency in the quality of their work.

A professional photo of a modern conference room. The room has a white, circular conference table surrounded by several black ergonomic chairs with chrome legs. The carpet has a geometric pattern of green, light gray, and dark gray triangles. A large glass wall separates the conference room from an adjacent space, and this wall is illuminated with a gradient of purple and pink light. A large flat-screen TV is mounted on the white wall to the left of the image. The ceiling is a grid of white panels with recessed lighting.

Being open and honest without concern of reprisal or reprimand is the most productive means of managing projects. It is much better to have everyone involved working on any issues that do come up. With Trehel, I feel like I always get the most qualified and professional site superintendents, project managers, and estimators on my projects. There is no question that we are all on the same team with the same goals.

We had a great working relationship with Trehel – everyone on the team was honest and up front re: everything and explained the process in detail. It was nice to walk through the details during the entire building experience (i.e. they held our hand throughout the entire process).

They took the time necessary to answer questions, explain “the process” over and above my expectations such that I felt totally comfortable with what were about to undertake… we had built multiple residential homes, but never any commercial construction… the education, explanation, and clarity provided by Trehel made our choice a no brainer.

As a Chef and Kitchen designer I have worked with numerous contractors. Trehel was by far the most experienced in my 43 years in the industry. They listened to my concerns and worked with me day by day through challenges. It was an absolute delight to work with the Trehel project team. Total professionals and always looking out for the “owners’ and what they needed.

Trehel has always had a great reputation, they were local to us and well known for problem solving.  We had been looking for an opportunity to use them when we came across our project in Athens GA.

Actually, we brought them in late to the process.  We were working with other contractors and struggled to hit our budget needs.  As such, we summoned Trehel’s help to get the project design back within our budget.  Trehel played a critical role with recommendations that would allow us to meet our budget goals and without compromising the overall project.

I worked primarily with Greg Blinston, VP and Senior Project Manager and I can confidently say that his effort made this experience better than I thought was possible. I always felt he was working for me and we were working as a team to complete this project. There was very clear understanding of what the budget included and the timeline of how the project should go was very different from every other contractor I had worked with and a distinction from other contractors.

It is hard to imagine that I could be any happier with the experience with Trehel.  If I ever have another building project, I know Trehel is where I will go and would recommend anyone to use Trehel.

We had a fourteen-million-dollar renovation project, and we had to trust that Trehel would complete it before the deadline, only five months away. There was no room for error. And Trehel delivered. We couldn’t ask for a better building partner. They truly walk the talk.

They definitely asked the right questions and were able to understand and articulate that into a plan that worked for us. They came within the exact penny they said they would. So, if you really map it out, I will say that they met the expectations of quality, price, and timing, but they exceeded expectations for how much we enjoy our building.

Every single project that Trehel has completed for the SDOC has been on time and on/below budget. The projects have also been completed just as they were designed with quality work and craftsmanship. No project is done anywhere without day-to-day construction issues that arise. When those have occurred on our projects, Trehel has been quick to resolve the problems and make sure that we are satisfied with the results. Their project managers and superintendents are up front and act with care and integrity.

I highly recommend Trehel Corporation as a General Contractor. I have personally worked on a number of construction projects and would say that Trehel Corporation and all their employees have been a true pleasure to work with. If in the future we would want to build again, Trehel Corporation would be the first company I would contact. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to discuss my experience working with Trehel Corporation.

It is difficult to explain in words the appreciation I have for the entire team at Trehel.

Our journey together began approximately 2 years ago with the complete renovation of the casual dining space in our Clubhouse. This would be the first of several projects we entrusted to Trehel at Wade Hampton Golf Club. Our projects culminated with the construction of our new employee housing building.

The membership is pleased with all the work and early responses I have heard indicate we have exceeded their expectations. I can say with confidence that Trehel will be my first choice of contractors when we take on future projects.

Trehel has been a responsible, trustworthy partner to Blue Ridge Electric for many years. We set high standards, and Trehel has always met or exceeded our expectations on every project. Trehel has also been a good community partner, which as a community-focused organization ourselves, means a lot.

Durable, Efficient Warehouse Spaces

Warehouses are no longer just storage facilities—they are strategic assets that drive business performance. Trehel’s approach to warehouse construction goes beyond the basics. We build highly functional environments optimized for productivity, safety, and adaptability in Greenville, South Carolina.

Our warehouses are designed to withstand the test of time. Using advanced materials and energy-efficient construction practices, we create buildings that reduce maintenance needs while enhancing operational efficiency. This includes insulated panels for climate control, optimized lighting layouts, and high-capacity flooring systems built to support heavy machinery and equipment.

Our expertise allows us to tailor each facility to its intended use, whether that means designing for cold storage, integrating racking and conveyor systems, or planning for future expansion. Every detail is considered to ensure the final space delivers maximum value and performance from day one.

Discover a Collaborative Building Experience

At Trehel, we believe the construction process should be as smooth and transparent as the final structure is strong. Our unique Design-Build delivery method brings everyone—clients, architects, engineers, and project managers—together under one unified team from the very beginning.

This collaborative approach eliminates miscommunication, speeds up timelines, and ensures every decision aligns with the client’s business goals. We actively listen to our clients and offer expert guidance, creating an experience that’s less stressful and more rewarding.

Working with Trehel means more than hiring a contractor—it means gaining a partner who is fully invested in your success. We operate with integrity, communicate clearly, and stand by our work. Our track record of successful industrial and warehouse projects across the Southeast is built on long-term relationships and repeat partnerships.

Warehouse Design & Construction Considerations

Every warehouse construction project begins with a foundation of smart planning. Our team of industrial building contractors works closely with our clients to understand their specific operational requirements and long-term goals.

Key considerations during the design and preconstruction phase include:

  • Site Layout & Accessibility: Ensuring the site allows for smooth vehicle flow, loading dock access, and potential expansion.
  • Interior Space Planning: Designing for optimized storage, equipment zones, and workflow efficiency.
  • Structural Requirements: Accounting for ceiling heights, clear spans, and floor load capacity.
  • Mechanical and Electrical Systems: Installing systems that align with modern warehouse technology needs, including HVAC, lighting, and power infrastructure.
  • Compliance & Permitting: Navigating all applicable local and federal codes, including fire safety, environmental standards, and zoning laws.

By addressing these elements early, we minimize risks and set the project up for long-term success. Trehel provides end-to-end support throughout this process, making sure every detail aligns with the client’s vision and industry needs.

Trehel is more than an industrial construction company—we are a team of passionate builders who understand the value of your investment. Our warehouse construction services are founded on a legacy of craftsmanship, communication, and innovation.
