“The purpose of the building is to store fabrics. It is of paramount importance that the building be dry. That means the roof, drainage, floors—if water gets in, we’re in trouble.

“This building is dry.

“Building projects are often done on faith. It came down to how comfortable we were with AECON. They were honest and professional. We couldn’t be more pleased with the way AECON took care of us.

“Due to our unfamiliarity with the (New England) weather, work could not be started as soon as we had hoped. When we did start construction, AECON moved right along and finished the building to our time frame.

“If the opportunity arose, I would certainly use AECON for a medium-to-large-scale project. In the mean time, we are looking for a piece of land in the San Francisco area. If we can find one, we would prefer to work with AECON again, even over the local builders.”
