  1. Hello All, hope you guys are having a great holiday, I would like to know what’s the final status of the project?

    • Hello, looks like the project came together just as we had planned and agreed upon. After confirming the project deliverables, we were able to go from forming working drawings, material takeoffs, and cost estimates to completing the required prototype on March 22, fulfilling the project requirements. A summary of the scope and work done was presented on Monaday March 25th through our project poster.
