Community Block Party Trailer a Huge Success!

The Town of High River
June 10, 2021

Good morning ladies,

I wanted to send a quick email to express my appreciation for the help you have provided and to showcase the generosity of Scott Builders. As you know, we were the grateful recipients of a trailer Scott Builders donated some years ago that we have been using to encourage and enhance Block Parties throughout High River. The trailer came at a much needed time and has been used to create lasting connections while building a sense of community.

We have recently had the opportunity to provide the trailer with a bit of a face lift. We are so excited to share with you the finished product, which we couldn’t be happier with.


On behalf of Family and Community Support Services, thank you again for your kindness, generosity and support for High River.

All the best,

Janelle Kennedy
Community Development Coach, Town of High River

 

Background:
Shortly after the 2013 flood in Southern Alberta, SBI created a Flood (Team) Committee who reached out to the Town of High River to see what they could do to help out. It was decided that SBI would donate a Trailer for the Town to use at Community Events. It included a BBQ and sporting equipment such as basketball net and balls; baseball gloves, bat and balls plus skipping ropes, sumo wrestling outfits, frisbees, sidewalk chalk, giant beach ball, coolers and tables.

In 2021, the trailer needed a facelift and the Town graciously included the SBI logo on the back of the unit.

Thank you Town of High River! We are so excited to hear it has been a benefit to your community.

The company's integrity from all the members of its team and its ability to deliver is what makes Scott Builders our first choice in design build construction.

Construction brings numerous people together and in my role, I’m involved with many of them on a number of fronts.    What is most distinctive for me is the respect the Company has from those we associate with  – clients, staff, trades and communities – and the quality of work that results from it.
I’m very proud to be part of that and excited about the future.

Under a CM contract, the owner secures the services of a Construction Manager to work with his chosen design team. Benefits arise when owner, designer and contractor collaborate early in the project to achieve best practices including improved cost control and an earlier start to construction.

Scott’s Design | Build experience comes to the forefront with this method. Their years of experience working with design teams to match client expectations and protect budgets is well established.

    Stipulated Price

This sequential Design – Bid – Build method reflects a client hiring a Design Consultant to produce documents that are competitively tendered to a given number of qualified bidders.

More often seen in certain market sectors where work is awarded in a bidding process, it requires longer lead time with design, and pre-construction input is limited.
