Re: Perris Valley Big League Dreams

Mr. Hugh Hughes & Mr. Wick Zimmerman,

Your firm was recently contracted to build a rock feature that replicated the amazing work you did previously at Angel Stadium in Anaheim. As the designer it was hard for us to write a specification or produce drawings of something the park owner already knew in existence and had a keen eye for the finish product. We were able to produce a picture of what we wanted and your team was to work off of that.

Needless to say we were extremely pleased with what our end product turned out to be and far passed our expectations for the building process. Jack Larsen and your design/creative team were a pleasure to work with. Every step of the process was carefully detailed and looked at by our design team. Your team took great direction and allowed our team to make decisions “on the fly”. Their step by step construction process and attention to detail made this aspect of the project much smoother.

All in all, we are pleased with the process and dealing with your polite and helpful staff. Having done several of these projects and plan on doing more, we would be honored to work with your team again.

Best Regards,

Dear Hugh & Wick,

As you know your firm, Outside the Lines, recently designed and installed a new fountain as a part of our renovation project at our Civic Center, which included our City Hall complex and entry Plaza. Your Project Manager, Jack Larsen and your crew exemplify what we all hope for in a contractor. Your team remained focused on their many tasks throughout the project and they were successful in their execution, the fountain is beautiful and exceeds all of our expectations.

The Plaza fountain has been met with rave reviews from our Community, City Visitors and our Civic Leaders. You should take great pride in the work your team created for the City of San Dimas City Hall, because I can assure you we will for years to come.

Please thank Jack and the crew for me for a job well done.

Sincerely,

Facilities Manager,
City Hall Renovation Project Team

Re: Testimonial on City Creek Fountains

Mr. Hughes:

Your firm Outside the Lines, Inc. (OTL) has recently completed several fountains at our City Creek Project in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. It has been a very challenging project but OTL has done a great job in rising to that challenge and delivering high quality fountains. As the Project Director for Oakland Construction this Project I wanted to write a brief note of thanks and commendation to you for your firm’s achievements.

The experience that OTL brought to the Project was critical in solving many issues that were apparent early in the design phase. Due to having fountains that interfaced with scopes of work from our scope, as well as another general contractors and also various design work packages, your management was vital in coordinating all aspects to ensure a successful delivery. Your management staff provided construct ability feedback on our concrete forming systems where Oakland had to construct linear and elliptical concrete walls with embedded fountain piping system. These tolerances were basically zero and OTL continued to work with Oakland through the end on necessary adjustments to your system make the product perform well and cast the water plumes in an array of beauty. We also relied heavily on OTL to help constructively resolve coordination issues with the electrical design that was also under our scope and OTL did this with the same care and professionalism as if they were your own subcontractor. The quality exceeded our expectations.

It was a pleasure to work with OTL and I hope to be able to have that opportunity again.

Respectfully,

We chose Outside the Lines, Inc. for the water-features and rockwork at The Nine Bridges National Golf Club in Yeoju Korea, not only for their understanding of Golf’s play and non-play interface but because they understand water and nature. For years, they have studied, learned and created the dynamics of “geo-believability,” nature’s account of what would happen at that precise location.

We give them an aesthetic direction for the water-features, disciplined by golf, and they improve it naturally… I have worked with the senior management team at Outside the Lines, Inc. for years and they have always exceeded my expectations.

We are very pleased to be working with Outside the Lines, Inc. on this world class project.

Dear Hugh and Wick:

With more than sixty years of world-class experience and global leadership among the top two executives, alone, Outside the Lines has already garnered the respect it deserves.

This tremendous reputation which Outside the Lines extends across continents, from North & South America, to the Middle East to the Pacific Rim; and, across industries, from Entertainment & Leisure, to Hospitality & Residential, grand and glorious Personal Estates. In this geographically and functionally diverse array of development, you are already the “go-to-guys” for the strategic leveraging of newly constructed natural and themed, outdoor and indoor, environments. This is Outside the Lines’ highly specialized focus, energized by brilliant, hands-on talent and decades of pragmatic project management experience.

From my client point of view, I enjoy and appreciate Outside the Lines both as a wise and creative sage constructing environmental “art” and as an organizationally fresh entrepreneur that is unencumbered by corporate protocol, and unburdened by inflated overhead. Hence, Outside the Lines efficiently serves our needs through both aesthetic & practical excellence.

I have enjoyed working with you both in the past and look forward to many years to come. The future is yours to artfully design & responsibly build.

All the best,

Michael McCall
President

Dear Hugh:

It was a pleasure to work with Outside the Lines on this special project for the National Aviary in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Penguins Point exhibit. You, Wick, Tom and your field crew were all very professional and cooperative throughout the project. As you know, the schedule was extremely aggressive, especially in light of the fact that the work was being performed in less than ideal conditions of late winter/early spring season weather. Nevertheless, working as a team with our field supervision, the rockwork production was completed on-time and the final product is outstanding. We still get numerous compliments on how great the rocks look and people are surprised to discover that they are concrete artwork! Mascaro Construction will not hesitate to give Outside the Lines an excellent reference on any future work your firm pursues and hopefully we will work together again soon.
