Commercial Banks
BB&T Stratford Point
BB&T saw the construction of a very visible Stratford Point headquarters, including offices and branch bank. More than 500 tons of steel, 2,000 cubic yards of concrete, 2,000 pieces of North Carolina granite, and 30,000 square feet of glass were installed while customers continued to use the existing drive-thru only 20 feet from the new building. The "shell" was competitively bid, and the interiors were preselected on this project. Frank L. Blum worked with two architectural teams to successfully complete this project on a compressed schedule.

| I am pleased in looking back over my 22 years at Wake Forest to see how important Frank L. Blum Construction Company has been for us. Whenever the job is especially difficult and time intensive, both I and my Director of Facilities, Bill Sides, turn to your firm.
Examples of your excellent work abound; the gatehouses which protect the campus at night, which were done on an extremely tight time schedule; Kirby Wing of Calloway Center, perhaps our most beautiful new space; and the new and renovated Pit, which was delivered 2 1/2 weeks early and under budget. The amount your firm saved us on the Kirby Wing was sufficient to finish all of the planned-to-be-vacant space in the basement! Of course, your signature building is the Mary and Charlie Babcock Wing at Reynolda House, a superb structure built on schedule and on budget. It is a magnificant addition to the museum.
You and your people have exhibited the kind of professional, competent, and helpful spirit a client would want. I can and do recommend you most highly and without reservation. |
