Step Inside The latest news from Pieper Electric. www.pieperhouston.com
Adding to the Pieper Family Time Flies When You're Surrounded by Great People June is upon us and the beautiful weather we have enjoyed is quickly becoming our normal Texas summer. Find an iced tea, a cool glass of lemonade or your favorite adult toddy and stay in the shade. The children are out of school, and the summer rush is here. WOW, the time goes fast! I look back on the first half of 2011 and think of all the blessings we in the Houston marketplace have enjoyed in comparison to the rest of the country, and my heart goes out to them. If this is the best market in the country, I am happy to say I am glad we are from Texas with even more gusto than ever!
Pieper has been blessed with the best employees in the world — our 'Pieper Players' — and together we continue to serve the best clients in the world with the best engineering, service and craftsmanship that can be achieved. We have continued to add talent to our team to better serve our clients. Our goal of expanding the service department is being realized with a strong new service division director, Mr. Jeff Hisaw, and our accounting department has been strengthened with the addition of Mrs. Debbie Savage. Our estimating department received a boost with the addition of Mr. Justin Hand.  These individuals came looking for a new home, one of compassion, fairness and family. I am excited to be able to offer them just that. We call it the 'Pieper Advantage.' I believe that your work should be a place of joy, excitement, fellowship and friendship and a place of authenticity, where people act, speak and treat each other with respect and courtesy. If I enjoy my job, my work is naturally going to be better.
We're excited for Jeff, Debbie and Justin to join the Pieper family and work with you to help you achieve your goals. Because as always, we're with you every step of the way. Blessings for the summer, G.W. Bud Walters
A word from our clients: Thanks for the good work, your leadership and your job team's commitment to quality. This is one of the fundamental principles we want to bring to every project. Many thanks, James Springer Vice President Gilbane Making Strides On Course At: Whispering Pines Voted as the No. 1 golf course in Texas for the past five years by the Dallas Morning News, Whispering Pines Golf Club, is constructing a new, high-end private residence and lake house in Trinity, Texas. The 25,000 sq. ft. 2 1/2 story main house will feature a swimming pool with waterfall features, and the 1,400 sq. ft. lake house will consist of exterior decks and pavers, a lakeshore bulkhead and a new boat house. The project requires careful planning so that the golf course and landscaping are kept in excellent condition and members are not distracted during construction. Pieper's responsibilities include designing and developing engineered electrical drawings to meet the project's electrical requirements, as well as all electrical infrastructure duct banks. Pieper will also coordinate with the local utility company to add and relocate primary electrical service, perform all electrical installation and handle the lighting control system. We're excited to work with everyone involved! Pieper's Project Manager: Reno Luxardo Pieper's Engineer: JP Martinez General Contractor: Tellepsen Builders Architect: Curtis & Windham Architects
