NCI Lab - FB Harding Inc.

NCI Lab

The 68,700 three-story building precast façade and steel building consisted of separate contracts for the base building and tenant. The project includes office space, multipurpose rooms, environmental cold rooms, open laboratories, casework systems and fume hoods. The project involved the coordination of power to over 700 pieces of mechanical and laboratory equipment. FBH installed a 1250kW generator to serve as the emergency and standby backup to the new 4000A PEPCO service. The telecommunications and security conduit infrastructure was installed from the adjacent garage to the new lab building and a new road with site lighting was installed along the west side of the building.

"They are thorough, organized and efficient. They try to be proactive on their jobs by checking in material upon receipt. They review for missing material or damaged material upfront so any issues can be addressed at the beginning of the project…not at the end.

One of the other ways of their efficient proactivity, is their bench testing procedure for light fixtures. This is a big help in determining if they have received any faulty fixtures prior to going through the labor of the install. They are team players that do their best to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. I have had the pleasure of working with FB Harding and I feel it’s been a very good working relationship. It’s easy to communicate with them, it’s easy to get in contact with them, it’s easy to run a successful project with them.

I look forward to working with them on future projects."
