“ It ’ s been a lot of fun to work on these projects , and a lot of that is the people that we work with ,” Wilkinson said . “ Eric has been great to work with . Brad has been great to work with . Sometimes you have a question that the owner needs to answer when there ’ s not a code answer to something or an obvious aesthetic answer to it . It ’ s just ‘ Do you like six or half a dozen ?’ We ’ ll take that to Brad , and he ’ s very decisive , very attentive , so you never feel like you ’ re just getting a knee-jerk reaction from him .”
What also adds to the fun is being able to transition from engineer to customer at the project ’ s conclusion , he said .
“ These are just great places to be ,” Wilkinson said . “ I ’ ve been to the Ventura , Porter Ranch , and Burbank stores . We do social gatherings for our Los Angeles office at the Burbank store because it ’ s midway between all of our houses about once a month , and we just like to be there . It ’ s a lot of fun to go somewhere and see the work that you ’ ve done flying above your heads there and support a local business and a client and a friend .”
For Behr , the feeling is mutual .
“ Andy ’ s been fantastic for us to work with . I ’ ve developed , really , a personal relationship with him and really enjoy working with Andy ,” Behr said . “ He ’ s kind of the heart and soul of the Gausman & Moore team for us on the Finney ’ s projects .”
Finefrock agreed .
“ We ’ ve had a close working relationship with Andy and the team ,” he said . “ There ’ s never been a reason for us to entertain other MEP consultants out there because they ’ re exceeding our expectations .”
