COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS

From 2001 to 2004, Warner managed (solely as a public service) and was responsible for all aspects of the construction of a new craftsman-style library at Kenter Canyon Charter Elementary school. Responsible from inception to completion, Warner carefully deconstructed a completed movie set and salvaged old-growth timber and other reusable building materials. Warner then assisted in fundraising activities, worked with stakeholders (school administrators, parent groups, local officials, community members, CEQA consultants, architects, engineers, and contractors), and obtained state approvals. Warner served as interim legal owner (until the project was completed), project manager, and general contractor. As part of the project, Warner also upgraded the school’s handicap accessibility and converted the previous one-room library into an art room.

Warner’s principals, employees, and vendors donated cash, materials, and in-kind services to the project. Warner also obtained a California Integrated Waste Management Board re-use grant, and supplied construction financing for the duration of the project. The level of quality and attention to detail in this project reflects Warner’s commitment to building quality, environmentally friendly projects that serve the community.

More recently, Warner has managed termite and structural damage repair projects for two independent schools, as well as the installation of a central heating system for a three story school building. Warner has also assisted a women’s shelter in the development and permitting of a new structure, as well as in identifying and recovering utility bill overcharges.
