Charleston, S.C. – Frampton Construction Company, LLC, a regional full-service construction firm providing planning and design support, preconstruction, and construction services, has completed a build-to-suit industrial manufacturing facility for Curtiss-Wright Corporation, a global, diversified manufacturing and service company.
