Overview

Sano-Rubin Construction Company is a privately owned corporation with its corporate and only office in Albany, NY. Our focus has been constructing projects within a 100-mile radius of Albany – from as far north as Keeseville, south to Newburgh, west to Utica and east to Springfield, Massachusetts. We employ between 80 and 100 office and field personnel at any time including 43 project managers and superintendents. Our total of managed projects for 2010 was approximately $321 million with between 15 and 25 jobsites under construction at any one time. For nearly half a century, we have worked under many different contracting formats, including Construction Manager, both “at-risk” and “agency” type, Design-Build, and General Contractor as well as consulting for Program Management and estimating services. During this period, our construction projects have ranged from commercial to educational to corporate office buildings to health care facilities. The common factor in all these projects is the need for quality construction, intricate scheduling (phasing), job site safety, and tight budget control. The hallmark of Sano-Rubin has been our dedication to serving each of our client's individual needs. We believe the numerous awards we have received and our repeat clients serve as testimony to the success of our approach. History

Our company’s history dates back to 1912 when Louis Rubin began business as a carpenter and general contractor on Elm Street in Albany. In 1934, he formed a partnership with the Sano brothers, Angelo and Benjamin, and relocated the business to Myrtle Avenue. During this time, the firm concentrated on small office buildings and storefronts, projects typical of that era. After World War II, Rubin’s son, Donald, joined the company that was formally incorporated in 1958 taking the name Sano-Rubin Construction Co., Inc. For over 50 years the company’s headquarters have been located on its current parcel on Delaware Avenue in Albany. Over the next two decades, the company grew taking on more challenging and varied projects. During the 1970’s the Rubins became the sole owners of the firm. Continuing the family tradition, Donald’s son, David joined the company in 1979 and is currently President and CEO. David Hollander serves as Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer and Secretary and Thomas Morton holds the position of Treasurer.

Safety

Safety begins with a Team commitment to provide a safe and healthy work environment. Our safety program defines the responsibilities of the Team - from company management to individual workers, subcontractors, suppliers, architects, owners and visitors. Sano-Rubin’s superintendents prepare a Project Safety Plan to be implemented for their project. As part of this plan, we conduct weekly safety meetings with our subcontractors and our own tradespeople that outline the specific work to be accomplished during the week and address safety and health issues. An AGC (Associated General Contractors of America) “Tool Box Talk” and other safety sheets are distributed, discussed and signed by all attendees. In addition to our superintendents’ daily presence, we participate in both internal and external safety programs coordinated by our safety officer, Tom Poole. We take a pro-active approach to safety by using ECA (Eastern Contractors Association) and our safety officers to perform jobsite safety inspections every 2 weeks. Twice a year, our liability carrier visits our sites with our Safety Director to review our safety plan. Sano-Rubin’s safety record is one of the best in the construction industry. We have received numerous awards from GBC (General Building Contractors of NYS) and AGC. Our safety record creates a positive impact on the project site. Safety’s smart.

PROJECT OUTLINE

Sano-Rubin was selected as general contractor to complete 13,000 sf of renovation on the 10th floor of 677 Broadway for Nixon Peabody LLP. What made this project challenging, was a computer room located at the core of the space that was under contract with the former tenant. Demolition of the room could not occur until the first week of April when the tenant's lease expired which created a compressed schedule for mid-June 2008 occupancy.

The newly renovated space includes designer light fixtures and high-end architectural millwork at the reception desk, conference rooms and secretarial stations. The project received LEED Silver Certification which exceeded the original goal of Certified.

The Arkell Museum & Canajoharie Library Addition & Renovation

Sano-Rubin

PROJECT OUTLINE

The project encompassed 18,800 sf of new construction which included new Gallery space, collections storage area, educational and office space as well as a new Great Hall space for large gatherings and presentations. Renovation occurred in 7,000 sf of the existing 16,600 sf Library.

In addition to enhancing the visitor experience and showcasing the outstanding art collection under the Foundation’s care, an appealing outdoor space for festivals and concerts was created. The Canajoharie Library and Art Center was founded in 1924 both as the town’s public library and a museum of American Art. The art gallery enjoys a reputation as one of the finest small galleries in the United States and has a permanent collection of more than 350 paintings and works of sculpture highlighting the development of American Art from colonial times through the mid-20th century. The collection includes works by Winslow Homer, Andrew Wyeth, George Inness, Grandma Moses, Frederick Remington, John Singer Sargent and Childe Hassaam.

Major sitework was done and landscaping installed to entice travelers on the New York State Thruway to visit Canajoharie. A steel fence encloses the Memorial Garden with access from the Museum as part of the visual experience. A town square area with a flowing water feature accents the main entrance. The parking lot was expanded and additional site lighting was incorporated. The Gallery was closed from April 2005 through September 2007 to complete the work. In June 2006, the Mohawk Valley experienced catastrophic flooding. At this time, the Museum was at 60% completion. The new basement flooded, damaging newly installed mechanical and elevator equipment. Delays ensued due to remediation efforts and ordering of new equipment. Provisions were incorporated into the project to protect the museum from future flooding.

PROJECT OUTLINE

As Construction Manager for this project, Sano-Rubin was responsible for the construction of the new 6,770 sf Athletic Wing to the original, historic 1880 Clubhouse. The addition includes a new foyer, Group Fitness Studio, Massage Area, Lobby/Lounge, 2 International Squash Courts, Viewing Mezzanine, Elevator and Stair. The work also included renovation of 5,720sf of the original wing. The renovation converted the existing squash courts into a 1,800 sf, 2 -story Fitness Center and upgraded the lobby space and swimming pool. Additionally, improvements were made to the Tap Room. The dumbwaiter was removed and the opening between the Tap Room and Dining Room was widened for improved interior traffic flow. The existing building infrastructure was upgraded by replacing and upgrading the HVAC equipment in the mechanical room, replacing thru-wall units in guest rooms, improving plumbing drainage, replacing outdated electrical panels and feeders, upgrading and expanding the main electrical service. A new exterior entrance terrace and relocation of the fire escape outside the Tap Room was completed Spring/Summer 2010.

This work will consist of new granite/limestone base, brick piers with limestone caps/decorative balls and wrought iron fencing, expanded parking lot with widen entrance drive to 2 lanes, one lane in and one lane out.

PROJECT OUTLINE

This project consisted of a new 2-story, 6,000 square foot building and renovation of 3,000 square feet of the existing adjacent historic building. Work included new brick masonry, exterior insulation finish system (EIFS), aluminum storefront, architectural metal work and reframing within the existing building to create the 2-story clearstory. The bookstore connects directly to Bruegger’s Bagel shop on the first floor through a new set of double doors. Fast-track construction with concurrent value engineering was used to meet the project budget and compressed project schedule. Due to the nature of city site, there was limited construction and staging areas. Excavation and foundation work was performed adjacent to historic buildings. There was extensive coordination for the bookstore interior fit up and connection to adjacent retail store.

Sano-Rubin

“Without exception, Sano-Rubin provided quality CM services, on time construction schedules and UNDER budget construction costs…with NO expiration date on their commitment to their clients.”

William O’Brien, Director of Administration (retired) NYS Teachers’ Retirement System

“Sano-Rubin Construction as our Construction Managers…have been accurate and conservative in construction estimates providing the District with a comfortable margin to address the important little things at the end of the project…breaking the project into manageable bid packages thus attracting more bidders and generating more competitive bids. Sano-Rubin has maintained excellent relationships with over 100 on-site contractors yet, they aren't afraid to "turn up the heat" on a contractor that is not meeting high expectations…we can proudly say that after three years of construction and a total of six years since idea inception, we are on time and under budget.” “Our district will continue to work with Sano-Rubin well into our construction future.”

Dr. Kevin S. Baughman, Superintendent of Schools Niskayuna CSD

“During these past few years, Sano-Rubin has continually provided the leadership, knowledge and thoroughness that a $29millon dollar multi-site capital project demands. Their response to the District’s changing needs and desire shave always been immediate and professional. I have personally worked with Dave Rubin, Ken Rizzo, and Bernie Huss and each time my expectations have been met or exceeded. Their support staff has been equally impressive.”

David Weiser, former School Business Administrator

Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk CSD

“The organizational support you provided to our construction management team was immeasurable. The project coordination support…allowed us to work through complex details of each project in an orderly and prompt manner. In addition, the site managers assigned to each building maintained a quality control on the contractor’s work and maintained project timelines…Your commitment to a job extends well beyond the normal time frame.”

Terrance L. Brewer, former Superintendent of Schools East Greenbush CSD

“When the Facilities Committee was making a decision about which Construction Company to choose, one of the most important questions was “Who will be in the Trailer?”, meaning who will be on site and keeping an eye on the day-to-day workings. When the decision was made …Nate Garrant and Ken Rizzo of Sano-Rubin were chosen…We could not have made a better selection. What a pleasure it is working with them.”

James M. Flaherty, General Manager The Fort Orange Club

“Thanks so very much for all your fantastic assistance with our major project (athletic addition). We could not be happier having…your firm as a partner with this important project.”

“The professionalism, knowledge, expertise and guidance your firm provided during the pre-construction and bidding phases were first rate.

Thanks for this and all your team is doing to keep us moving along!”
