West Gude - FB Harding Inc.

West Gude

50 West Gude Drive is part of a 17 acre campus that was repositioned to focus on the growing life sciences market in the area. The initial project in building 50 was a complete strip down and renovation of 11,000 square feet. What was previously a Comcast service center has been converted into a modern spec lab suite. The space was designed to be flexible and adaptable to easily accommodate a wide range of potential life sciences tenants. FBH provided the electrical design and build-out for the project that included 215 light fixtures, 5 new panels, 2 new transformers and a new 250kW diesel generator.

"I enjoyed that FBH continued to look for and develop solutions to problems that were faced on the jobsite. As early as procurement with EATON lead time being so far out, FBH was always on top of procuring the equipment needed to stay ahead of construction needs. This also includes procuring lights and working in parallel with ceiling install, always moving to areas where work is available without production issues. Regarding onsite production, FBH did outstandingly well with maintain workforce needed to keep with schedule demand as the project evolved. Change orders – FBH was a fair trade partner in this job and worked with WT and the client on design related costs for the most part. Rarely did costs come up due to jobsite conditions or coordination efforts to shift things around."
