Dear Mr. Barnes,
I want to take this opportunity to commend, Barnes Buildings, Tim Allison, all you field personnel, and yourself for an exemplary job at the Pingree School Athletic building. The project had a long list of challenges, including architectural details, coordination with the athletic equipment and building systems, and one of the coldest winters we had experienced in a long time.
Blending the pre-engineered building structure, wall systems, and roof systems into other areas of the building with areas utilizing conventional air-barrier construction was not a simple feat. I am very appreciative for the time and effort your company put in to working out these details. I am sure you agree it really shows in the finished product.
The architectural barn look on the exterior with a state of the art athletic facility on the inside was the ultimate goal of the project. Taking advantage of the economies offered by the pre-engineered systems (roofing, insulation, and insulated panels), long span capability of the structure; as well as Barnes Building’s expertise to blend in other conventionally constructed components was key to this success.
C.E. Floyd look forward to working with you and your company again, and would highly recommend Barnes Buildings to any who are considering doing business with your company.
Again a job Very Well Done!
Barnes Buildings has been outstanding to work with thus far. Your Foreman exemplifies what I call a “true craftsman”, and he is running his crew as if it were his own company! His strong leadership is reflected in the positive attitude of his crew and they are doing a fantastic job! Inside and out, from the field crew to your office management personnel, you should be very proud of your entire team.
This was our second facility that Barnes constructed and it couldn’t have gone better. The quality of workmanship and care in making sure the building went up correctly and safely were evident throughout. We were under a tight timeline and Barnes’ crew put it up on time and on budget.
To Whom It May Concern:
Barnes Buildings did exceptional work engineering, delivering and installing the pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) that is the structure of the new Falmouth Ice Arena. The designs were thorough and accurate, the quality of the materials outstanding and the installation team expert. Not only was the work done to the highest level, but the staff at Barnes Buildings was responsive and easy to work with during the entire process.
The construction schedule for the new Falmouth Ice Arena was very demanding. Barnes was willing and able to work under strict time constraints. The design team worked efficiently and carefully to specify the PEMB. Delivery was on time, and erection of the structure happened according to schedule, despite a long stretch of difficult winter weather conditions. The workmen were able to flawlessly and quickly execute construction, the job site was kept neat and well- organized, and there was minimal waste. Marty has clearly developed an A-team to build his buildings.
A unique aspect of the Falmouth Ice Area is its extraordinary energy efficiency, as evidenced by a $244,000 rebate from Cape Light Compact, and a recent New England Energy Efficiency Council Business Leaders Award. To achieve real energy efficiency with a pre-engineered metal building, critical features need to be specified and installed properly. Marty Barnes was invaluable to the decision-making process, both providing practical advice and insights and responding quickly to requests for pricing. Without the help of Marty, Tim Allison and the skill of his team, the energy efficiency measures that were planned would not have been effectively executed. From the air-tight building envelope to the roof and wall insulation, the Barnes Buildings team made sure implementation was done right.
In addition, the new Falmouth Ice Arena supports almost 1 megawatt of solar photovoltaic panels on the roof and parking lot. This solar installation was implemented after the PEMB was specified, but Barnes worked with Falmouth Youth Hockey to make sure that the building could structurally support the weight of the PV panels. Marty and his team were responsive, professional and helpful throughout the construction process.
If you are building with metal, FYHL highly recommends you work with Marty and his team at Barnes Buildings.
Sincerely,
Paul P. Moore
