Client Testimonials

An Advocate for the End User

“Paulina’s command of her discipline, her diligence, and her willingness to advocate for the end user, all together, were of tremendous benefit in helping us to construct a vivarium that matched our needs. She is the best that I have had the privilege to work with, not to disparage others, but she has been the most all around knowledgeable of our needs and also the most willing to go to bat for us to make sure we got what we needed.”

A Trusted Advisor

“Paulina was an instrumental part of bringing the genomics lab and office space into operation. The existing space was renovated to accommodate the start-up requirements of a newly formed transformation and molecular biology team. Paulina answered questions by phone and email in a very timely manner; this ensured the construction build-out and installation of equipment hook-ups went smoothly. In the process, Paulina and I became trusted friends.”

Invaluable Experience

”Paulina’s approach from the very beginning was most impressive. She did not attempt to fit our needs into a pre-determined mold, but rather, interviewed each one of our team members in depth to understand their current routines and tasks, as well as future needs. Our space was tailored to our team’s specific needs, and incorporated the necessary functionality and efficiency of construction within our budget. Her attention to countless details that would have otherwise gone unnoticed proved that Paulina’s experience was invaluable, giving us a world-class laboratory that we are all very proud of.”
