BUILDERS STUDIO LLC OWNERS REPRESENTATION 9317 DICKENS AVENUE WILLIAM M FLECK AIA SURFSIDE, FL 33154 [email protected] 305.868.5804 WWW.BUILDERS-STUDIO.COM

May 30, 2015 To Whom It May Concern: All BUSINESSES demand results during the design and construction of their facility. Completing a project on time and under budget is the key ingredient to a successful project. I would be delighted to offer you my assistance for any upcoming facility or property development projects in any capacity you deem necessary. Builders Studio is a 15-year-old company with a wealth of resources and experience while maintaining a minimum of overhead expense. Please find my introductory brochure for your review. As a leader in the design and construction industry, Builders Studio successfully completes multiple projects each year. Our projects include Entertainment, Hospitality, interiors, commercial, new construction, retail, residential, healthcare and institutional. Builders Studio will commit all resources toward the success of any endeavor. Our personnel will provide total attention all of the means and methods that make a project successful. Our professionals understands the three (3) components that steer any project as follows:

! Attention to detail ensuring the highest quality level possible. ! Sensitivity to the required time constraints continually monitoring the schedule to ensure the

deadline is maintained. ! Concentration on costs to guarantee all means and methods utilized are the most cost effective.

The following proposal of services within our brochure provides some insight into the depth and value of Builders Studio. We believe our sensitivity to the current marketplace provides our clients with the most competitive price possible. Our bidding subcontractors are hand selected for each project based on availability, suitability and ability to provide adequate manpower to complete the work. For instance, the same electrical subcontractor selected for a minor interior renovation would not necessarily be acceptable on a Television Studio or an entertainment center. In fact, there may be multiple electrical contractors on a large-scale project. Our wealth of subcontractor resources ultimately provides for the right competitive price and labor force. Most importantly, our staff is unmatchable in the industry. Their commitment to you always provides for a successful project. Please contact our references that will attest to our ability. Builders Studio can serve as Owners Representative, Design-Build Management, Construction Management, general contractor, and /or General Consultant depending upon which context best suits you particular requirements. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, BUILDERS STUDIO LLC William M. Fleck AIA President
