Best
Friends Pet Care, which has over thirty operating facilities nationwide,
asked us last September to complete the Gaithersburg Project which was
several months behind schedule, and fraught with construction and construction
management difficulties. We were also employed, in January of 1999, to
build their Sudbury, MA facility and to assist with a significant redesign
of it, while work was in progress.

Design Feature:
These buildings are extremely exotic and unique in terms of floor plan
and usage. One of the most interesting features is the self contained,
individually manifolded and temperature regulated, water delivery
system for the grooming tables. Each phase of a three cycle operation:
soak down, wash, and rinse, is automatic. This eliminates the possibility
of pressure and temperature error by the operator.
Construction Nuance:
As installation of the fire sprinkler system was beginning, local officials
required a significant increase in capacity above that specified in the
approved drawings.
