Building for the future!
See detail below about for construction updates
Projected to open March 2026!
August 2025 - Foundation
We have broken ground!
• A concrete foundation and stem walls have been poured, outlining the building’s footprint.
• Steel beams and columns are already installed, forming the main structural frame for Sajack and Janda.
• Plumbing or utility pipes (white PVC) are laid out within the foundation area before the concrete slab is poured.
• The ground inside the foundation has been graded and compacted, getting ready for the slab.
• Our owner (Kaleb) is wearing a hard hat is standing on the edge, likely inspecting progress or alignment.
Overall, this is the stage just before the concrete slab pour, after foundations, utilities, and structural supports are set but before walls and roofing go up.
September - Frame
In the early framing stage.
Here’s what’s going on:
• The wood framing and roof trusses are up, and the structure is partially sheathed with plywood.
• A blue telescopic boom lift (telehandler) is parked in front, used to lift materials or workers to higher sections of the building.
• Parts of the roof are still open, with exposed rafters and trusses, indicating roofing isn’t finished yet.
• There are window and door openings framed but not installed.
• Construction materials and debris are scattered around the site, which is typical at this phase.
• The ground appears to be a concrete slab foundation, already poured.
Overall, this is the rough framing phase, before roofing, exterior finishes, windows, and interior work are completed.
October - Exterior
The animal hospital is in the final stages of build-out, not fully open yet.
• Construction outside is mostly complete: The main structure, roof, siding, stonework, and windows are all installed.
• Entrances are in place, but some doors/windows are still be getting final adjustments.
• Exterior finishing is ongoing: You can see construction materials (wrapped pallets, equipment trailer) still on site.
• Site work isn’t finished: The parking lot and curbs appear freshly poured, with cleanup and striping still to come.
• Utilities & inspections pending: Rooftop elements and vents/HVAC is installed, but final inspections or hookups are still be underway.
• Pre-opening phase: This is the typical stage right before interior equipment, signage, landscaping, and staff move-in.
In short: the building is essentially done, but it hasn’t opened yet—it’s in that last “punch list” phase before launch.
November - Interior
The "rough-in" phase, where the skeleton of the building is visible before the walls and ceilings are closed up.
Here is a breakdown of what you're seeing:
• Metal Studs: The silver, vertical tracks are light-gauge steel studs used to create the interior walls. This is standard in commercial buildings because steel is fire-resistant and won't warp like wood.
• Wood Trusses: Looking up, you can see the roof structure is made of engineered wood trusses. This hybrid of a wood roof on a commercial build is common for smaller animal hospitals.
• Ductwork: The large, silver spiral pipes running across the ceiling are the main HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) supply lines.
• Flexible Ducts: In the foreground (bottom left), you can see cardboard boxes containing coils of insulated "flex duct," which will eventually connect the main rigid pipes to individual ceiling vents.
• Backing Plates: The orange/brown wooden square on the central metal pillar is a plywood backer. This provides a solid surface to mount electrical panels, telecommunications equipment, or heavy monitors.
• Wiring: You can see electrical boxes mounted to the studs with conduits and wires already being pulled through.
• Rough-In Phase: The building is "dried-in" (meaning the roof is on), but since you can see through the walls, the insulation and drywall haven't been installed yet.
