Saquatucket Marina

Saquatucket Marina

“After providing a preliminary site plan and operational requirements, Tim Sawyer, the project architect, put together a great design that met the requirements and established goals of the Town. When the initial construction bids came in higher than the project budget, the architect remained extremely flexible and innovative in reducing portions of the initial design and suggesting value engineering items to bring the project within budget without compromising the overall scope and goals of the project. Much of this redesigned work remained within the design budget, and extra effort by the architect was provided in the process of receiving approvals from town boards and committees. From start to finish of the project, Catalyst provided superior expertise in the administration of the contract. Establishing a positive and trusted working relationship with Town personnel, Builder, and Structural Engineer, the architect ensured all design plans were followed and when necessary made adjustments to overcome unexpected issues. With a critical eye, the architect inspected all aspects of the construction project and provided detailed punch lists at various times throughout the project to ensure a high level of quality control. Extremely competent and professional, Catalyst provided exceptional architectural services to the Town of Harwich. Saquatucket Municipal Marina is one of the town’s most valued assets, and the landside redevelopment design plan was expertly administered by the project architect has made the waterfront area more vibrant, accessible, and attractive to a broader spectrum of the community.”
