Thank you for the opportunity to submit our SOQ for the Twin Falls Animal
Shelter Expansion and Modernization. This project reflects the compassion,
service, and thoughtful investment in quality of life that we truly value and
nurture every day. We are ready to help the City of Twin Falls bring that vision
to life.
Proven Experience with Additions and Remodels
We have delivered hundreds of expansion and renovation projects in active
facilities including schools, hospitals, and public buildings that had to remain
operational during construction. We understand how to phase work, minimize
disruption, and keep people (and in this case, animals) safe. This project’s mix
of modernization and new additions is exactly the type of work we do best.
Local Relationships That Strengthen the Work
Our Idaho office and field management staff have built strong relationships
with Trade Partners across the region. These trusted partners trust us
because we show up ready, pay on time, and lead with respect. Our goal
is to keep as much of the work local as possible. That supports the Twin
Falls economy and reinforces the partnerships that make projects like this
succeed.
Collaboration That Protects Budget and Purpose
This is public work, and we treat it with that responsibility in mind. From the
first precon meeting through final turnover, we focus on delivering value. That
means honest estimating, practical design input, and smart planning that
protects your goals. We are problem solvers who listen first and adapt fast.
Ready for Phased Work with Many Moving Parts
The shelter expansion includes wood-frame and CMU additions, site
improvements, and interior modernization. Coordinating that kind of multi-
scope work requires foresight, clear communication, and solid scheduling. We
have delivered similar projects with that level of variety and will bring a whole-
project view to keep things moving smoothly.
We Build Trust by Showing Up Right
We have built long-term trust with clients and partners by doing the small
things right every day. We communicate clearly. We solve problems without
drama. We follow through. It’s not flashy, it works, and it builds lasting
relationships. This approach is exactly how we will show up for Twin Falls.
This Project Matters to Us
The Animal Shelter Expansion is the kind of work we care about. It is rooted in
community, built for the long term, and directly serves the health and safety of
Twin Falls. We would be honored to help bring it to life.
Sincerely,
Faber Construction

Subject: Faber Construction Corporation - Bonding Capability
CM/GC for Twin Falls Animal Shelter Expansion
Dear Ms. Thompson:
We have been asked to provide information regarding the bond capacity of Faber Construction
Corporation.
Faber Construction Corporation has a tremendous amount of construction experience in
completing projects on time and within budget. All projects have been completed by Faber
Construction without the help of the surety company. They have always conducted business
matters in a highly professional manner, and we hold their firm in high regard.
Ohio Casualty Insurance Company is the surety company for Faber Construction Corporation.
Faber is a frequent user of surety credit and qualifies for single projects in excess of
$30,000,000 with an aggregate in excess of $100,000,000.
We do not anticipate any problems providing the necessary bid and performance and payment
bonds. Please note that the decision to issue bid and performance and payment bonds is a
matter between Faber Construction and Ohio Casualty and will be subject to our standard
underwriting at the time of the final bond request, which will include but not be limited to the
acceptability of the contract documents, bond forms and financing. We assume no liability to
third parties or to you if for any reason we do not execute said bonds.
If we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
The Ohio Casualty Insurance Company

3. COMPANY PROFILE
We understand how important the Animal Shelter
Expansion and Modernization is to Twin Falls. This
facility supports families, protects animals, and
strengthens the small-town character you value. From
day one, we will deliver a project built on stewardship,
compassion, and “intentional and value-based” choices.
That commitment is backed by experience. With
38+ years and hundreds of remodels and additions,
our team brings strong preconstruction, phasing,
and occupied-facility know-how. Our dedicated
preconstruction group will drive value with clear
estimates, practical VE, and scheduling that keeps work
safe and predictable every step of the way.
For Faber, this is personal. We’re a small-town, family-
owned builder, and we’re here to stay. We’ve submitted
on every Twin Falls pursuit since opening our Idaho
office two years ago. Win or lose, we’ll keep showing up.
This project will feel like it’s our only project, and we’ll
show up as a partner the community can trust.

With our office in Mountain Home and our field staff in King Hill, our team
is positioned well to serve daily oversight and clear communication. We’re
committed to regular in-person OAC meetings and building a strong,
responsive partnership with the City. That means faster responses, more site
time, and a team that’s fully in it with you from day one.
We work with trusted subcontractors across the Snake River Plain and
understand the local pace, pricing, and delivery conditions. Our goal is to
bid this project with 100 percent regional participation, and we’ve already
identified partners ready to get to work.
PROXIMITY TO JOBSITE
Faber brings 38 years of construction experience, much of it focused
on projects that rely on early collaboration and careful use of
community resources. Preconstruction is where our fully dedicated
team of preconcosntruction professionals excel, bringing decades of
combined expertise to every project. We are especially excited about
the CM/GC delivery method, which lets us engage early in design
to help unlock the full potential of the project. Our team is ready to
support the schedule, budget, and scope by:
EARLY TEAM INTEGRATION
• Weekly OAC meetings for clear, steady communication.
• Encourage open dialogue to build clear consensus.
• Foster team dynamics rooted in trust and accountability.

Our mission is to deliver successful projects and build lasting relationships with all our clients. A great example is our
eight-year partnership with Lake Whatcom Treatment (LWT), spanning 13 projects. Here are the most recent ones:
CASE STUDY: BUILDING POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS
Our 13th project with LWT is a privately and publicly funded apartment complex in Bellingham, WA. Since August,
we have collaborated with LWT during preconstruction to design a 4-story, 37-unit apartment complex for highly
functioning patients transitioning back into the community as the final step of their program.
LWT Lincoln Street Studios Negotiated GMP | $10M | In Design
This project transformed a building into a 24-unit care facility through a full renovation. Our team played a crucial role
in this project, using our expertise with low-income housing tax credits. We divided the building into 3 zones to meet
state requirements and conducted design permit reviews with the City of Bellingham and the State Health Department.
Delegated Design | $4M | 2024LWT Maplewood Studios
The LWT Sunset Avenue project involved exterior renovations, including siding, windows, paint, decks, and railings,
across seven apartment buildings. During preconstruction, we provided value engineering, estimating, risk
assessment, scheduling, site logistics, and bid package preparation and solicitation.
Negotiated | $1.5M | 2021LWT Sunset Avenue
Our preconstruction team is fully dedicated, with specialists who focus only on preconstruction every day.
Unlike firms where project managers juggle estimating with other responsibilities, our team brings decades of
combined expertise, proven processes, and detailed logs that protect every dollar. With 15+ projects currently in
preconstruction, we know the ins and outs of budgeting, phasing, and value management at a level that sets us
apart. At the same time, this team will make you feel like this is the only project in front of them. This gives the City
confidence that every decision will be intentional, transparent, and designed to maximize the public’s investment.

4. PROJECT APPROACH
PRECONSTRUCTION APPROACH
We are excited to use the CM/GC delivery method for the
animal shelter. It allows us to work closely with the City of
Twin Falls, Laughlin Ricks Architecture, and local stakeholders
early in the process, when collaboration has the most value.
That early involvement helps us align with your goals, explore
cost-effective options, and stay within the target budget.
Through structured team meetings and ongoing target value
analysis, we will keep everyone informed, involved, and
working together toward a successful project. Below are key
values that will guide our preconstruction work:
Hold us accountable as we will you.
Clear, timely and solution-oriented decisions.
Get excited about this project being built!
Honest conversations to protect budget and schedule.
During our weekly preconstruction OAC meetings we need buy-in
from the entire project team to work collaboratively to achieve
the following:
CONSTANT COMMUNICATION
From the start, we need to define what will make this project
a lasting success. Our goal is to design and build an efficient,
durable building that supports everyday use and includes as
many of your wish list items as the budget allows.
01. Understanding Your Priorities
ACCOUNTABILITY

Target Value Design (TVD) is a process that creates transparent goal setting from day one. We work with your team
early to establish the budget, then design the project to fit within it. Instead of creating something first and hoping
it works financially, we align cost, scope, and vision from the start so there are no surprises later. For the animal
shelter, we will work with the City and Laughlin Ricks Architecture from the start to set a clear budget target, then
guide design decisions to stay within it. This shared approach builds trust, reduces changes, and keeps the focus on
delivering the best possible park for the community.
TARGET VALUE DESIGN
Start by agreeing
on a clear, realistic
budget that guides
all decisions from the
beginning.
Work together to
prioritize what is most
important, whether
it is space, look,
function, or timing.
Use open
communication and
shared accountability to
make timely, informed
decisions together.
Develop the design
while tracking costs
in real time to make
sure it stays within
the budget.

STEPS TO TARGET VALUE DESIGN
CASE STUDY: SUCCESSFUL TARGET VALUE DESIGN
The LEED Silver Sky Valley Youth Center is a teen shelter for the Volunteers of America Western
Washington (VOAWW). It’s a 2-story, wood-framed, 3,000 sq ft. building comprised of bedrooms,
counseling offices and gathering spaces.
Upon qualification-based selection, we joined the team in the Design Development phase and
jumped right into preconstruction efforts. Transparency was key to our successful TVD efforts.
VOAWW presented their N.T.E., goals, desires and non-negotiables at the initial kickoff meeting and
we began utilizing TVD to achieve and exceed those requirements. Throughout preconstruction we
were open and honest with all of our estimates, risk we identified and logged, potential scope add
options tracked in our Design Development Log, and all schedule updates.

QUALITY CONTROL DURING PRECONSTRUCTION
Quality control during preconstruction starts with getting
the details right. We will work closely with the City of
Twin Falls and Laughlin Ricks Architecture to review
drawings, catch issues early, and ensure all materials
and systems align with project goals. Our QA/QC plan
will include project-specific checklists and scheduled
inspection points to keep quality on track.
We will coordinate early with subcontractors and
suppliers to set clear expectations. All quality efforts,
including inspections and documentation, will be
tracked in Procore from preconstruction through
closeout.
Constructability Analysis & Reviews
Make sure the design is practical and buildable.
Subcontractor Prequalification
Choose the right teams with the right experience
and strong track records.
Schedule Reviews
Allocate time for proper inspections and
quality checks.
Life Cycle Analysis
Assess long-term costs, durability, and
sustainability of materials and systems.
QA/QC ACTION ITEMS
We identify needs early to define materials, equipment,
and scope clearly. This helps avoid surprises with long-
lead items, labor, or costs during construction.
PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENT
• Identifies early procurement needs for critical
materials and scopes during design
• Works with Nathan to verify pricing, labor availability,
and market volatility
• Leads procurement strategy for materials and labor
• Coordinates with design and field teams

PROCUREMENT
Current Construction Environment: With ongoing
labor shortages and cost fluctuations in materials
like lumber, steel, and finishes, early procurement
and supplier coordination will be key to keeping the
animal shelter on schedule and within budget.
Long Lead Times: We identify critical items early,
issue targeted procurement packages, and work
closely with suppliers to secure timelines and keep
delivery on track.
OFFERING & TRACKING ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS
We use the logs below to track estimates, budget & schedule updates, meeting minutes, RFIs, and more. These
updates are reviewed and explained during our weekly progress meetings. This approach allows us to present and
monitor alternative solutions in a clear and organized way.
We identify, document, and present design
recommendations in this log. Only the alternatives
agreed upon by the team and shown to add the most
value will be implemented.

CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEWS
Throughout every phase of construction, our team will keep Twin Falls and all stakeholders fully informed on project
progress. We are committed to transparent and timely communication at every step.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Our team will lead weekly OAC progress meetings to review the past
month’s progress, provide budget and schedule updates, share the three-
week lookaheads, highlight upcoming milestones, and discuss safety and
community engagement efforts. These meetings are a space for open
dialogue, and we actively welcome your input.
We will schedule key milestone site walks such as post-foundation, pre-roof,
and rough MEP to give BHA a clear view of progress and invite valuable
feedback. These walkthroughs help ensure alignment with project goals, uphold
quality standards, address issues early, and build confidence in the finished
product. We also encourage walkthroughs at any point during the build.
Project Engineer, Thomas Tillman, will ensure all items relating to schedules,
budget, submittals, RFIs, photos, contracts, and more are documented and
uploaded to our project management software, Procore. These items are
constantly updated and are able to live-viewed by the entire project team
from design through post-construction.
WEEKLY OAC MEETINGS
OUR FOCUS POINTS DURING REVIEWS
CONSISTENT SITE WALKS
REAL-TIME DOCUMENTATION AND COMMUNICATION
Constructability is not a one-time step for us, it is a
continuous process built into every design conversation
with Twin Falls and Laughlin Ricks Architecture. From
the start, our team will flag potential issues, propose
solutions, and keep a live log that is shared openly so
nothing falls through the cracks.
Formally, we recommend a constructability review
at each major design milestone, with the most value
coming at Design Development and Construction
Documents when systems and details are better defined.
This combination of ongoing dialogue and milestone
reviews ensures that constructability concerns are
addressed early, solutions are vetted collaboratively,
and the project stays on track for budget, schedule, and
safety. To the right is an example of our Constructability
Review Log from a recent CM/GC project.

RETAINING WALL
Portions of the retaining wall at East side of the site are not constructable with current engineering direction.
The Heel of footing is too close to the property line and per structural the maximum height that can be
retained with current design is 3’-6”. when some areas of the wall are taller than that. We would also have +/-
6’ near vertical cut on the excavation required to install the retaining wall which is not legal.
An alternative would be to shore this prior to excavation, likely using H piles with lagging and if we are
already doing this, then it might make more sense to shot-crete the wall rather than form and pour.

Safety is a top priority and built into the culture at Faber,
especially on active campus projects. Our site-specific
safety plan will focus not only on protecting workers, but
also on safeguarding the public throughout construction.
We will establish clear protocols for site access, fencing,
signage, and phasing to ensure the park remains
secure and the community stays safe. Our Safety
Manager and Superintendent Don will lead daily efforts
to uphold these standards with all Faber employees
and subcontractors. The graphic below outlines key
elements of our active site safety program.

SAFETY CHECKLIST
SITE MANAGEMENT
Effective site management starts in preconstruction with
a clear logistics plan that reduces risk, supports workflow,
and respects the surrounding neighborhood. We aim to
be good neighbors by minimizing disruptions and building
community trust. Below are the steps Don will take to
ensure a safe, efficient, and well-managed site:
Develop and coordinate an in-depth site logistics plan to
minimize disruptions, and provide regular updates for the
community about the schedule, disruptions, and safety
measures.
Conduct daily walk throughs to ensure quality and safety
standards. Track and log detailed records of current
progress completed work and all site and safety inspections.
Inform and enforce site-specific conduct rules to all works
and host regular progress meetings with key subcontractors
and initial project meetings with all workers.
01. Communication and Coordination

COST CONTROL SCHEDULE CONTROL
Controlling cost starts with smart planning, but it
takes steady execution to stay on track. While most
cost certainty is locked in during preconstruction,
we continue to manage risk and protect the budget
throughout construction. Our team maintains a close
watch on cost impacts using detailed tracking, real-
time reporting, and schedule alignment to avoid delays
and scope creep.
We rely on a skilled, prequalified workforce and a
proactive approach to field coordination. During
construction, we enforce cost control through accurate
forecasting, tight change management, and consistent
communication with the City. These efforts ensure
that the value we established early carries through to
project completion.
Schedule success starts in preconstruction and is
maintained through clear planning and coordination.
For Vista Bonita, we are already building a detailed CPM
schedule that includes long lead items, phasing, trade
timelines, and key milestones. As design evolves, we
will refine the schedule with input from the City of Twin
Falls, Laughlin Ricks Architecture, and all stakeholders
to keep the full team aligned.
Once construction begins, we manage progress using
three-week lookaheads, monthly CPM updates, and
weekly team meetings. Microsoft Project and Procore
provide visibility, real-time tracking, and the flexibility
to adjust as needed. This approach helps us anticipate
issues early and stay focused on delivering the project
on time.
Please see Section 5 for an in-depth review of our
budget control practices, and how we can ensure you
will not experience any surprises when it comes to the
budget of this project.
Please see Section 6 for an in-depth review of our
scheduling systems, preliminary schedule, and how
our use of innovative technology sets us apart from the
pack.
DOCUMENTING AND REPORTING
We consistently track and organize all key project information, including meeting notes, budget updates, schedule
progress, and field activity. While this information is available online at any time, we also walk through updates
during weekly progress meetings to keep the City informed and involved. These meetings are a two-way conversation,
allowing space for input, questions, and shared decision-making. Here is how we plan to track, document, and report
throughout the project:
We use Procore to provide live updates and tracking of all budget/schedule information
and potential changes. Our executive schedule and the weekly updated 3-week look
ahead schedules live in Procore and can be viewed at all times.
Our Superintendents take a minimum of 3 project update pictures per day which can
be viewed by all stakeholders. These pictures are taken to showcase progress, and to
ensure quality standards are being met.
At every weekly progress meetings we note and provide meeting minutes, including the
list of action items, to all stakeholders upon meeting completion.
From our kickoff meeting forward, using Procore, any and all RFIs are submitted and
assigned to whoever is requested. After setting a due date for a response, Procore will
provide a daily reminder to the recipient until they provide an answer. These RFIs live in
Procore through the duration of the project and ensure nothing gets lost or forgotten.

REAL-TIME ESTIMATING &LOCAL MARKET CONDITIONS
Our team is based in the area and understands the
local market inside and out. As design progresses,
we provide reliable cost input by staying on top of the
following factors:
LOCAL MARKET CONDITIONS
Our team uses ongoing cost estimates instead of only
estimating at certain milestones. This ensures there are
no surprises when setting the Guaranteed Maximum
Price. By using Target Value Design (TVD) and constant
estimating, we bring the following value to your project:
With constant estimates and open books, the entire
project team is keenly aware of where the estimate sits
at any given time.
Since we are continuously aware of where the estimate
sits, we are able to add wish list items in earlier and for
better pricing. We want to get the most for you!
01. Predictable Budget
02. More Wish List Items
01. Material Availability
02. Trade Partner Interest and Capacity
03. Long Lead Item Procurement Strategies
Our preconstruction team, led by Jeff Johnson, will
carefully review the design as it develops to identify
and recommend options that maximize value while
maintaining the high level of quality we are known for.
VALUE ENGINEERING
As we move through the design phase, our team reviews
each line item in detail to uncover opportunities for
potential cost savings.
01. Identify Key Items
We evaluate, develop, and present VE options
beginning with the highest-cost items. Our team
outlines the benefits and potential drawbacks of each
option. From there, you select the options that best
align with your goals. All options are tracked in our VE
Log which you can find an example of on page 35.
02. Evaluate, Develop and Present Offers
Our team will incorporate the selected options into the
design to ensure the project stays within the GMP and
delivers the best overall value.
03. Incorporate Accepted Offers
Our team aims to maximize scope for the lowest cost
through Value Engineering. We will offer only options that
preserve the following aspects of the fleet services building:
AESTHETICS
LONGEVITY
RELIABILITY
PERFORMANCE
MAINTAINABILITY
WHAT WE’LL OFFER
We know how important it is to align expectations
with what the budget can truly support. At each OAC
meeting, we share transparent, up-to-date estimates
and honest reporting to keep everyone on the same
page. Our approach keeps the budget steady and
predictable by following the steps below:

CASE STUDY: EFFECTIVE VALUE ENGINEERING
HOLDEN VILLAGE PORTAL MUSEUM
For this project we worked
with the remote Holden
Village for 12 months in
preconstruction to achieve
Target Value Design and
bring the estimated $2.3M
budget down to $2.1M. We
identified, presented, and
explained several VE options
to the stakeholders and were
able to build this inspiring
museum to the standards
Holden Village was expecting
while staying under budget.
CONSTRUCTION COSTS$2.1M
VE SAVINGS$200,000+
• Saved $71,000 by exploring panelized systems. The project was
originally designed with panelized systems because we assumed it
would be the most economical and schedule friendly and low-risk
in the remote environment. After in-depth analysis, savings were
captured by converting to traditionally framed construction.
• Saved $25,000 Collaboration with Owner volunteers.
• Saved 15 days Warmboard Radiant Panels ILO Gypcrete.
• Saved $85,000 Heavy timber deck substructure ILO steel.

COST CONTROL COST CONTROL CASE STUDY
POINT ROBERTS WATER DISTRICT OFFICE & SHOP
In order to maintain cost control on our Point Roberts
Water District Office and Shop project, the following
difficult logistics had to be expertly managed:
Logistic #1: Contract converted from Hard bid to Design-
Build so our team could step in and help administer a
design that met and stayed within their budget.
Logistic #2: The project location required our crews
to travel across the border into Canada and then back
across the border into USA during the COVID pandemic
which caused border closings.
Logistic #3: Construction of this project also took
place during the height of supply chain issues and
procurement problems from COVID.
Our team overcame and delivered a project with expert
level management on budget as seen below.
Controlling the project’s budget is our responsibility
from start to finish, and doing it well depends on full
transparency. We make sure there are no surprises by
keeping communication clear and consistent throughout
the process. Our approach to building a predictable
budget includes the following steps:
Our team will collaborate closely with all stakeholders,
using our expertise to review constructability and offer
consistent cost feedback as the design evolves.
TEAM DYNAMIC
01. Develop Budget Based On Historicals
02. Confirm Through Subcontractor Relationships
03. Identify & Mitigate Risk
04. Continuous Estimating
Rob, Jeff, and Damie maintain detailed logs and lead
discussions around design improvements, helping the City
clearly visualize the finished project from the very start.
Thomas tracks and reports ALL construction costs,
including line item costs, fees, permits, and more within
our open-book budget in Procore and your FTP Site.
Jeff and Damie will identify budget risks, evaluate
cost impacts, and develop, present, and implement
strategies to mitigate them. Once in place, they will
continue to monitor costs closely and keep the team
updated on progress.

Animal Shelter Expansion - CM/GC Services
Faber Construction’s Statement of Qualifications
39
By fully comprehending the importance of staying on
schedule, we pride ourselves on taking the appropriate
steps to achieve that metric. We combine our team’s
project management expertise, with the use of
innovative technology like Microsoft Project, Procore,
and Matterport to mitigate potential risk and maintain a
predictable schedule.
Upon the commencement of construction, our
superintendent will work with our project manager to
manage the CPM schedule, coordinate and maintain
all subcontractor schedules and communicate all
scheduling events with all stakeholders throughout the
projects entirety.
PREDICTABLE SCHEDULES
01. Use state-of-the-art software
02. Identify risk such as long-lead items
03. Weekly short-interval schedules
04. Monthly CPM schedule updates
05. Regular progress meetings
As experts with Critical Path Method scheduling, we
utilize Microsoft Project to easily identify and signify
the necessary tasks that must be completed for a
successful project outcome. Our team shares this
information with you, every step of the way, and
welcomes discourse while advising with our expertise
and experience in managing similar scoped projects.
Procore allows access to all stakeholders to view our executive
schedule, weekly-short interval schedules, RFIs regarding
schedule and all daily project progress pictures taken by our
superintendent. This way, you are able to see how the project
is aligning in real-time to the schedule put forth.
MICROSOFT PROJECT
PROCORE
SCHEDULING SYSTEMS
Our scheduling philosophy relies on two key principles to
ensure our projects are delivered on time.
Constant Reporting: We believe teamwork and
dialogue are the foundation of a successful project. Our
team provides weekly short-interval and monthly CPM
updates where we implore the City of Twin Falls to give
us feedback. These continuously updated schedules
are field-driven, providing you with information on what
is actually happening on-site and how it compares to
paper.
Remaining Fluid: We remain predictable by maintaining
a fluid schedule. From the initial design meetings our
team produces a rough schedule based on historicals
which we begin to hone in as the designs do. We
recognize and abide by your needs, and continue to
identify risk, such as longlead items, shutdowns, and
any other potentially disruptive activities to ensure the
team is informed and the project stays on time.
UTILIZING TECHNOLOGY
1. Develop preliminary schedule with project team.
• Create and utilize a 3-week look-ahead schedule which
is created and discussed at weekly OAC meetings.
3. Conduct a scheduling meeting with all selected
subcontractors for their input, review, and buy-in.
4. Finalize the schedule and directly integrate the
schedule in all subcontracts and scoping documents.
2. Develop a detailed construction schedule to include
all coordination and long-lead items.
• Weekly mandatory scheduling meeting for all major
subcontractors.
• Faber ensures contract schedule compliance by
putting the necessary people and systems in place.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: DELIVERING ON A DEADLINE
For the construction of the Angel of the Winds RV Resort, Faber
was responsible for building 4 washrooms, 8 yurts, 9 picnic &
barbeque structures, and a state-of-the-art clubhouse.
For this size and scoped project, we estimated a 12-month
schedule, but the owners needed it done in 9 1/2 months.
To achieve the ultimate goal, we broke our entire scope down
into sections. Then, we created individual schedules for the
washrooms, yurts, and picnic areas, and the clubhouse was
broken into four separate schedules. We precisely coordinated
with our subcontractors to the point where we were scheduling
to the 4 hours.
We were able to reach the ultimate goal while maintaining
great relationships with the owners, stakeholders, and design
team.

ANGEL OF THE WINDS RV RESORT
PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS
Ben’s Truck Stop is located in Blaine, WA right on the border
of the USA and Canada. The construction of Ben’s Truck Stop
started with the demolition of the historical Blaine Airport in
which this convenience store and gas station was built on top
of. To pay homage, the convenience store was designed to
emulate an airport hangar. The 10,000 SF convenience store
features 3 quick serve restaurants; Jamba Juice, Cinnabon,
and Pizza Hut On the outside, there are 12 domestic and 5
diesel gas pumps. With these projects, the Travel Centers of
America typically expects a 3 year build time, but we, while
navigating electrical gear delays, were able to finish in just 11
months. So pleased with the results, the owners have asked
us to be the GC for a future Carl’s Jr. that is going to be added
on to the building.

KEYS TO CONTRACT SCHEDULE COMPLIANCE
For the animal shelter, it is critical that we begin
shaping the project schedule early and continue
refining it throughout preconstruction to ensure
contract schedule compliance. During weekly OAC
meetings, we will align goals and expectations,
create milestones and deadlines, identify risks, and
maintain transparent communication so the full team
stays informed and connected.
We use the Critical Path Method to determine the
most efficient duration for the project. Gantt charts
will be shared regularly to show both the executive
schedule and weekly 3-week lookaheads, helping
the City of Twin Falls stay up to date on progress and
upcoming activities.
Our team collaborates closely with the City, Laughlin
Ricks Architecture, and all project partners to
manage the schedule actively and anticipate issues
before they affect progress. Staying ahead of long
lead times and addressing them early will be key to
keeping the work on track.
The schedule is monitored and updated continuously
to support risk mitigation, quality control, and timely
delivery. Through Procore, the City will have access
to the executive schedule and 3-week lookaheads
throughout the entire project.
Project Manager Damie Lasater and Superintendent
Don Kiggins will lead this effort, maintaining open
communication and flagging critical lead items
early. We will act proactively, even before contract
award if needed, to help ensure the animal shelter is
delivered on time and without surprises.
Clearly defined schedules that all parties are constantly
informed and updated on.
Regular communication between owners, architects,
stakeholders and subcontractors.
Use innovative technology, regular progress meetings and
our database to ensure compliance.
Thorough tracking and documenting of all project
activities, communication and changes.
Constant communication with subs, identification and
mitigation of long lead items and procurement strategies.
Identify any and all potential risks early into
preconstruction and adopting strategies to mitigate them.

The Way Station project transformed the State Street
Building into a 16-bed clinical and respite care facility
serving Bellingham’s unsheltered residents. Designed by
RMC Architects, this renovation was funded by a complex
mix of local, state, and federal sources through Whatcom
County, Unity Care Northwest, and Opportunity Council/
PeaceHealth.
On this project, we managed multiple stakeholders
which required consistent and detailed communication.
We held regular check-ins, tracked costs closely, and
ensured each funding partner received accurate
documentation to avoid delays or confusion.
An expedited schedule for the Morgue component added
further pressure. We worked closely with the County and
City to secure phased occupancy, focusing resources
to complete inspections and open that portion of the
building while keeping the rest of the work on track.
Subcontractor coordination and a unified team effort
made it possible.
Our partnership with RMC was key to this success.
Together, we navigated the challenges and delivered a
vital community project on time and on budget.

Our Lake Whatcom Treatment Maplewood Studios
project consisted of converting an old building
comprised of a large kitchen and congregating room
into a beautiful 24-unit apartment assisted care facility.
Our preconstruction efforts were pivotal in delivering
this project successfully. Our team utilized our extensive
low-income housing knowledge to obtain valuable tax
credits to ensure to project stayed within budget. This
renovation and addition also included adding a second
story to the building. With this major addition, our team
navigated state requirements for fire assemblies and
in the end, we had to cut the building into 3 different
zones to abide by the local codes and regulations.
As our 12th project in partnership with LWT, this
renovation was completed in September of this year
and provides a valuable resource to the Bellingham
community.

Complete renovation of an existing 10,755 SF single-
story office building (B Occupancy, Type V construction).
Exterior work included extensive repairs to the EIFS
system and replacing the concrete-tile roofing. Interior
renovation transformed the former Desert Sage Health
Center into modern office space for multiple county
service departments — auditor, assessor, recorder,
treasurer & elections, land use / building department,
veterans’ services, ambulance billing.
This renovation shows how we can modernize existing
infrastructure to meet new program needs. For the
Animal Shelter work, the parallels are strong: updating
exterior envelope elements (roofing, cladding),
converting spaces to suit different occupancy types,
coordinating multiple departments/utilities in a tight
footprint, and doing all of this with minimal downtime.
