buildings to health care facilities. The common factor in all these projects is the need for and Site Safety
quality construction, intricate scheduling (phasing), job site safety, and tight budget control.
The hallmark of Sano-Rubin has been our dedication to serving each of our client's individual
needs. We believe the numerous awards we have received and our repeat clients serve as
testimony to the success of our approach.
History
Our company’s history dates back to 1912 when Louis Rubin began business as a carpenter
and general contractor on Elm Street in Albany. In 1934, he formed a partnership with the
Sano brothers, Angelo and Benjamin, and relocated the business to Myrtle Avenue. During
this time, the firm concentrated on small office buildings and storefronts, projects typical of
that era. After World War II, Rubin’s son, Donald, joined the company that was formally
incorporated in 1958 taking the name Sano-Rubin Construction Co., Inc. For over 50 years
the company’s headquarters have been located on its current parcel on Delaware Avenue in
Albany. Over the next two decades, the company grew taking on more challenging and varied
projects. During the 1970’s the Rubins became the sole owners of the firm. Continuing the
family tradition, Donald’s son, David joined the company in 1979 and is currently President
and CEO. David Hollander serves as Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer and
Secretary and Thomas Morton holds the position of Treasurer.

Safety begins with a Team commitment to provide a safe and healthy work environment. Our
safety program defines the responsibilities of the Team - from company management to
individual workers, subcontractors, suppliers, architects, owners and visitors. Sano-Rubin’s
superintendents prepare a Project Safety Plan to be implemented for their project. As part of
this plan, we conduct weekly safety meetings with our subcontractors and our own
tradespeople that outline the specific work to be accomplished during the week and address
safety and health issues. An AGC (Associated General Contractors of America) “Tool Box Talk”
and other safety sheets are distributed, discussed and signed by all attendees.
In addition to our superintendents’ daily presence, we participate in both internal and external Safety creates positive
safety programs coordinated by our safety officer, Tom Poole. We take a pro-active approach impact
to safety by using ECA (Eastern Contractors Association) and our safety officers to perform
jobsite safety inspections every 2 weeks. Twice a year, our liability carrier visits our sites
with our Safety Director to review our safety plan. Sano-Rubin’s safety record is one of the
best in the construction industry. We have received numerous awards from GBC (General
Building Contractors of NYS) and AGC. Our safety record creates a positive impact on the

Sano-Rubin was selected as general contractor to complete 13,000 sf of renovation on the 10 floor of
677 Broadway for Nixon Peabody LLP. What made this project challenging, was a computer room located
at the core of the space that was under contract with the former tenant. Demolition of the room could
not occur until the first week of April when the tenant's lease expired which created a compressed
schedule for mid-June 2008 occupancy.
The newly renovated space includes designer light fixtures and high-end architectural millwork at the
reception desk, conference rooms and secretarial stations.
The project received LEED Silver Certification which exceeded the original goal of Certified.

Middle School Phase II, which began June 2006. The building was vacated during the renovations.
During the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 school years, students attended classes at the former Philip
Schuyler Elementary School.
Phase II included extensive renovations to all five floors to accommodate up to 650 students in grades 6-
8 and divide those students into teams of 100-115 students each. Academic wings were organized
around core classes such as English, social studies, and math. Classrooms for technology, art, and music
are shared among the teams.
The building was designed so that sixth, seventh, and eighth graders are separated by floor or wing. In
addition, each wing includes administrative offices for student oversight and assistance. Boys and girls
restrooms were also added to each floor. Each wing has six classrooms, four for general instruction, one
for special education, and one for science. The renovations included: 28 general instruction
classrooms, 6 Special Education classrooms, 6 science rooms with prep space, family and consumer
science room, technology classroom, choral room with practice area, band room with practice area, 2
art rooms with kiln and storage, 2 new stair towers & new elevator.

Exterior granite panels had numerous coordination issues that needed to be resolved during construction
(i.e., being plumb and level, flashing, caulking).
Working in an occupied facility while installing two additional floors. Strict attention was paid to dust,
noise, and pollution, vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
Difficult transition of new wing to existing building for windows, soffits, ceilings, flooring and elevations.

The first floor includes a kitchen, dining area, recreation room, classroom, staff offices and a medical
office. The second floor includes 10 double occupancy bedrooms, consultation areas, counselor offices,
laundry, and bathroom facilities. At the time bids were received, the project was nearly a half a million
dollars over budget. Although Sano-Rubin was the lump-sum low bidder, we worked with the Owner and
Architect to bring the project inline with their budget.
The project broke ground on April 1, 2009 and was completed by mid-November.

historic mill complex at Cohoes Falls. Five of the buildings are historic masonry structures. This project is
part of a larger community revitalization project and the Downtown Redevelopment Plan. Additionally, a
new LEED certified community building and site office will also be constructed on a vacant lot on Mohawk
Street.
Rehabilitation includes new heating, plumbing, electrical and finishes. High-efficiency HVAC systems will
be located in each unit. Additional high R-value insulation will be installed inside the existing brick walls,
and quality windows will result in energy savings. Also, each unit will be separately metered for gas and
electricity as an incentive for individual households to conserve.
The buildings are located in close proximity to each other and include the following addresses: 5-13
North Mohawk St., 29-49 Olmstead St., 1-4 Fountain Pl., 4 Vliet St., 58 White St., 51 Lancaster St., and
54-56 Willow St.
The project is currently slated for a Summer 2011 start.

PROJECT OUTLINE Due to Extensive
Flooding in the Mohawk
The project encompassed 18,800 sf of new construction which included new Gallery space, collections
Valley
storage area, educational and office space as well as a new Great Hall space for large gatherings and May 2007
presentations. Renovation occurred in 7,000 sf of the existing 16,600 sf Library.
In addition to enhancing the visitor experience and showcasing the outstanding art collection under the
Foundation’s care, an appealing outdoor space for festivals and concerts was created. The Canajoharie
Library and Art Center was founded in 1924 both as the town’s public library and a museum of
American Art. The art gallery enjoys a reputation as one of the finest small galleries in the United States
and has a permanent collection of more than 350 paintings and works of sculpture highlighting the
development of American Art from colonial times through the mid-20th century. The collection includes
works by Winslow Homer, Andrew Wyeth, George Inness, Grandma Moses, Frederick Remington, John
Singer Sargent and Childe Hassaam.
Major sitework was done and landscaping installed to entice travelers on the New York State Thruway to
visit Canajoharie. A steel fence encloses the Memorial Garden with access from the Museum as part of
the visual experience. A town square area with a flowing water feature accents the main entrance. The
parking lot was expanded and additional site lighting was incorporated. The Gallery was closed from April
2005 through September 2007 to complete the work.
In June 2006, the Mohawk Valley experienced catastrophic flooding. At this time, the Museum was at
60% completion. The new basement flooded, damaging newly installed mechanical and elevator
equipment. Delays ensued due to remediation efforts and ordering of new equipment. Provisions were
incorporated into the project to protect the museum from future flooding.

PROJECT OUTLINE
As Construction Manager for this project, Sano-Rubin was responsible for the construction of the new
6,770 sf Athletic Wing to the original, historic 1880 Clubhouse. The addition includes a new foyer,
Group Fitness Studio, Massage Area, Lobby/Lounge, 2 International Squash Courts, Viewing Mezzanine,
Elevator and Stair. The work also included renovation of 5,720sf of the original wing. The renovation
converted the existing squash courts into a 1,800 sf, 2 -story Fitness Center and upgraded the lobby
space and swimming pool.
Additionally, improvements were made to the Tap Room. The dumbwaiter was removed and the opening
between the Tap Room and Dining Room was widened for improved interior traffic flow. The existing
building infrastructure was upgraded by replacing and upgrading the HVAC equipment in the mechanical
room, replacing thru-wall units in guest rooms, improving plumbing drainage, replacing outdated
electrical panels and feeders, upgrading and expanding the main electrical service. A new exterior
entrance terrace and relocation of the fire escape outside the Tap Room was completed Spring/Summer
2010.
Demolition of two adjacent buildings on Washington Avenue has recently been completed making way for
a new streetscape along Washington Avenue to be constructed Spring/Summer 2011. This work will
consist of new granite/limestone base, brick piers with limestone caps/decorative balls and wrought iron
fencing, expanded parking lot with widen entrance drive to 2 lanes, one lane in and one lane out.

PROJECT OUTLINE
This project consisted of a new 2-story, 6,000 square foot building and renovation of 3,000 square feet
of the existing adjacent historic building. Work included new brick masonry, exterior insulation finish
system (EIFS), aluminum storefront, architectural metal work and reframing within the existing building to
create the 2-story clearstory. The bookstore connects directly to Bruegger’s Bagel shop on the first floor
through a new set of double doors.
Fast-track construction with concurrent value engineering was used to meet the project budget and
compressed project schedule. Due to the nature of city site, there was limited construction and staging
areas. Excavation and foundation work was performed adjacent to historic buildings. There was
extensive coordination for the bookstore interior fit up and connection to adjacent retail store.

“Sano-Rubin Construction as our Construction Managers…have been accurate and
conservative in construction estimates providing the District with a comfortable margin to
address the important little things at the end of the project…breaking the project into
manageable bid packages thus attracting more bidders and generating more competitive bids.
Sano-Rubin has maintained excellent relationships with over 100 on-site contractors yet, they
aren't afraid to "turn up the heat" on a contractor that is not meeting high expectations…we
can proudly say that after three years of construction and a total of six years since idea
inception, we are on time and under budget.” “Our district will continue to work with Sano-
Rubin well into our construction future.”

“When the Facilities Committee was making a decision about which Construction Company to
choose, one of the most important questions was “Who will be in the Trailer?”, meaning who
