They start working after everyone else has gone home for the night or called it a weekend, and the jobs are not pretty. The heating and cooling units are bulky and sensitive, sometimes weigh tons, and probably will be installed in a tight space with bad lighting. Doors and windows often need to be removed […]
Case Studies
Tom Pantazis – Impec Group
Given how online shopping has revolutionized the retail industry, a construction professional would be well advised to think creatively after years of building or renovating storefronts and showrooms. Tom Pantazis realized this years ago, his Bay Area construction and Management Company Pantazis & Associates having handled builds and rebuilds in the United States and Canada […]
Tom Pelis – Oswego Health
Financing and staffing during COVID-19 is tough in the healthcare business. Still, Tom Pelis is juggling both so Oswego Health’s facilities can continue several necessary construction projects, including an $8 million renovation of its surgical wings. “Whatever the project is, the goal is always the same: delivering excellence in care,” says Pelis, Oswego Health’s director, […]
Tom Stewart – Mister Car Wash
He’s got lots of “Mister-izing” to oversee. Such as in the Tri-Cities region of southeast Washington state, where Mister Car Wash recently enhanced its status as the nation’s largest chain of its kind. It bought seven car washes in the municipalities of Kennewick, Pasco and Richland, and all either have been upgraded or are undergoing […]

More than places to get a book, they’re education hubs, community centers and places to gather. Yet to fulfill these many roles, the Sno-Isle Libraries system north […]
Tony Marchese – Americold Logistics LLC
For Tony Marchese, senior director of global construction at Atlanta-based Americold Logistics, the lifecycle of food bound for cold storage is a predictable thing: No matter the season, Americold can tell you exactly what’s coming from their customers and into the warehouse. Once late fall rolls around and the holiday season Christmas lights are up, […]
Traci Ferdolage – San José State University
Seems too many folks have found their way to San José. The Silicon Valley city no longer matches the carefree, anti-Los Angeles that Dionne Warwick so wistfully sang about over a half-century ago. So went some of the lyrics of that iconic song: “They’ve got a lot of space, there’ll be a place where I […]
Travis Kowalke – US Pharmacopeia
These days, there’s a certain comfort in taking medication, knowing that whatever went into the bottle adheres to the rigorously tested standards from United States Pharmacopeia.
