Austin Office Awarded Ultra Electronics

Austin, Texas, April 15, 2010 – The Austin office was awarded the Ultra Electronics project to kick off the start of Q210. The fast track, 76,000 SF finish-out of a warehouse in south Austin starts in mid May. The multifaceted effort to win the Ultra deal was truly an “all hands on deck” effort.  
 
The Ultra project team includes: Jane Kalina, project executive; Chris Savasky, project manager; Todd Evans, superintendent; McLain Hall, estimator;  and Meg Drucker, coordinator.  This win demonstrates that “It's not always about the numbers, but about the number of people who worked on helping get this project done,” said Austin General Manager Jane Kalina.   
 
Special recognition for their help with the Ultra win goes to SpawMaxwell employees:

  • Travis McGarraugh and Joe Martinez for their help in producing the first preliminary schedule
  • McLain Hall for his participation in putting the GMAX pricing together and participating in the interviews
  • Chris Savasky and Todd Evans for helping to sell SpawMaxwell in 2 back-to-back interviews; additional props to Todd for his awesome cowboy hat!
  • Tom Rowland for joining David Spaw in Dallas for introductions to the building landlord
  • Tim Garbutt for putting all the marketing material together for each package


“The lesson learned here,” added Jane, “is to go for it, do what it takes to connect with all players in the deal, and as Todd would say…it's all about the hat!”
