Abstract/Summary
This paper discusses the design and preconstruction aspects of a pergola constructed at Thousand Hills Pet Resort, supporting a non-profit organization called the Son Care Foundation. Founded in 1994 by Jack Gould, the foundation is committed to fostering hope through various programs including mentorship for students, service dog training for PTSD victims, basic pet training, vehicle repair and turnaround, and dog daycare and lodging. This project serves Son Care Foundation’s dog daycare and lodging program, called Thousand Hills Pet Resort. The program was established in 2005, and all profits are used to fund the other programs operated by the Son Care Foundation. Thousand Hills Pet Resort provides multiple services such as boarding, daycare, grooming, and dog training. The pergola built on the property required a large amount of design work, in which I was supported by two architectural engineers. The preconstruction aspects to be discussed include material procurement, budgeting, scheduling, and the challenge of handling multiple design changes.
