Adding unique interior and exterior design elements, including a sawdust-filled feature wall, the space now houses a full kitchen, large conference spaces, offices, a children’s playroom, and a receiving lobby. Design/Build by G.L. Wilson Building Company. “Our project began with a building that originated in 1985 and had not seen any updates in 37 years. Designers and engineers were first on site to analyze the ‘situation at hand’- after many brainstorming sessions and analyzing what we wanted vs. what was reality, we confirmed a plan of action. This was a HUGE project for us, and G.L. Wilson understood that and accommodated many meetings and visionary discussions. Once ‘the ground broke’ on our project, the project manager and the site manager kept us updated each step of the way. They welcomed our many visits and ensured that our process was smooth. As with any remodel, hiccups were experienced but were swiftly ironed out to keep the project flowing. Relationships are key with any construction project; we fully trusted the entire G.L. Wilson team. Our company’s motto is “On Target from Start to Finish” – perhaps G.L. Wilson should adopt that motto because it was our experience with them. Our building (inside and out) is gorgeous. Job well done.” Erica Goodnight / Union Grove Lumber / CEO & President
