I was the supervising architect for gkkworks who was engaged by E.H. Butland Corp. to work with them
in a Design-Build relationship in connection with the new Pasadena Humane Society 31,000 sq ft facility
and subterranean parking garage. I supervised the Permitting and Construction Phases. During my
involvement with E.H. Butland Corp. I found all of the staff involved with the project to be highly
professional and consistently diligent relative to their commitment and obligations to the client and
project. E.H. Butland Corp. and gkkworks worked very collaboratively together. I also observed them
maintain very strong and cooperative relationships with the City’s Planning and Building Departments
during the course of the permitting process and later construction inspections, as well as with their
subcontractors. These relationships very much contributed to the high quality project that was
beautifully executed. I know the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA is very proud of their new facility
and extremely happy with the work of E.H. Butland Corp. I am happy to recommend E.H. Butland Corp.
to you for the quality of their work, their attention to detail, and for the relationships that they maintain
with their design-build partners. I would welcome the chance to work with them again if the opportunity
arose.
