The Denver Broncos Football Club moved their training facilities from the University of Northern Colorado campus in Greeley to their Dove Valley headquarters. Saunders was brought on early to help improve and expand their existing facility in order to accommodate training camp’s extensive roster.

The improvements and expansion was carefully scheduled around training camp and had minimal impact on the player’s off season weight training and physical therapy. The project was completed within budget and in 5 months.

Corporex Development Services of Covington, Kentucky was entering the Chicago market with two new sports country clubs, one in Burr Ridge and the other in Northbrook. Krusinski Construction Company was hired to construct both facilities. The out of state owners wanted to have day-to-day oversight to make sure the new facilities conformed to previously opened clubs in Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana. To make that possible, web-based cameras were installed at each site that automatically photographed the two sites every 15 minutes. The photos were then posted on the Krusinski web-site providing a visual progress report.
