Abstract/Summary
This paper presents the preconstruction phases of the Cat Condos Project at the Thousand Hills Pet Resort, and the many challenges which were necessary to realize its completion. The Son Care Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in San Luis Obispo with many focuses such as outreach for veterans, prison rehabilitation, youth development, and other charitable pursuits. The Thousand Hills Pet Resort is a subsidiary of the Son Care Foundation which provides holistic boarding services to felines and canines alike, all the profits generated by the Thousand Hills Pet Resort are donated to sustain the Son Care Foundations’ charitable endeavors. The project’s deliverables consisted of four Cat Condos, three of which are designed identically to be 8’-1/2” tall, 3’- 7 1/2” long, and 2’- 4” wide. The fourth design measured 8’ – 1/2” tall, and 3’- 3” long and wide. This design deviation serves the Owner’s desire for the fourth Condo to occupy the entire southwest corner of the office up to the width of the mounted desk next to which it is situated. Each Condo is completed with wall mounted stairs, platforms for the cats to rest upon, scratching posts, as well as galvanized mesh for containment.
