Scope Of Work

We are grateful to have partnered with the organization on construction, remodeling and design projects that that mission.

According to Mary Beth Popchock, Executive Director, “Herb goes beyond the bricks and mortar and mechanics of what we needed done. Herb always takes the time to ensure that a project is done with respect and understanding of the people we . As General Contractor, he brought in the right subcontractors based not only on their expertise but also on their patience and respect for LCS Participants and Staff. Herb and his crew members were consistently sensitive to the needs of our business.”

2011

Thanks to a Johnson Foundation grant, LCS was able to convert 2 glass structures from a manufacturing company who no longer used them into a greenhouse. The structures are used by LCS to provide horticultural therapy. They help LCS gain valuable skills, such as seeing a project through from start to finish. We made the buildings functional and brought them to within code.

We performed a change over, converting factory space (machine shop) into a lunch room / break area. We also enlarged the bathrooms and added additional accessible stalls.

There is green space behind the LCS building. We created a large, permanent canopy area that provides much-needed additional space for summertime classes and outdoor break area.

2015/19

In terms of design projects, we designed and constructed a protected arrival/exit space for LCS . It used to be a canvas awning, which didn’t provide participants with much relief from the elements while they waited for transportation. Now the area is glassed in, protecting folks from rain, snow and wind. It also improves LCS’s energy efficiency.

The office space remodeling allows for greater collaboration, idea sharing and improved services for participants. We removed the individual offices and replaced them with open work spaces and several impromptu work or meeting spaces and/or quiet space for participants to use for relaxation.

We’d like to thank Ms. Popchock for recommending us and including us in their efforts to improve their ability to deliver their mission.
