F & F Mechanical Enterprises, Inc, newly located at 2 Dwight Street, North Haven, CT, is a mechanical contracting company specializing in all areas of mechanical construction (plumbing, fire protection, HVAC). After outgrowing their previous space, F&F began the relocation process by contracting Munger Construction to provide concrete, steel and glass work for a 37,475 SF building with a 14,045 SF second floor mezzanine.

The new building includes a large manufacturing area, and office space featuring expansive areas of glass, for their estimating and engineering departments. Architect, Joseph Ferrucci, designed the building, and Munger Project Manager, Sven Uljens, oversaw the job from start to completion. Varco Pruden metal framing was used for the office area and then a TPO membrane roofing system was installed on the pre-engineered frame. The exterior is covered with Morin Panel horizontal ribbed siding.

One outstanding feature is the main entry stair. The steel stair system with concrete treads and an intermediate landing features railings utilizing Marine type cables with oak handrails. This is truly a focal point upon entering the building.

Munger Construction wishes to thank F&F Mechanical for providing us the opportunity to demonstrate our ability to work with non-standard metal components, ultimately producing a building displaying extraordinary architectural detail. We wish them much success in their new facility.

AFCON Products, Inc., located at 35 Sargent Drive, in Bethany, has been a valued repeat customer of ours. Previously we put an addition on their building that doubled the size of their facility. Recently we completed another 4,000 SF addition.

AFCON is a manufacturer specializing in the support and repair of Mobile Electric Power generator sets and related equipment for the military. The current additional space is a warehouse area for greater inventory space for on-demand shipment of supplies required by the military.

The addition is a Varco Pruden, pre-engineered building. Great attention to detail was practiced in an effort to marry the addition to the existing building without appearing like an "addon" structure. The project also involved extensive site work, including relocation of the septic system to accommodate the new addition, and reconfiguring parking and loading dock areas for easier shipping and receiving access.

The Design-Build Team consisted of the Munger staff, site design by Criscuolo Engineering, site work by Tenedine Construction, structural design by Michael Horton and Associates, architectural plans by Design Two Architects, steel erected by First Choice Builders, glasswork by Massey Glass, doors by Advanced Overhead Door, and paving by Maisano Brothers. Munger Construction completed all the concrete foundations, flat work and retaining walls with their in-house staff. Project Manager, Roy Lamberton of Munger Construction, skillfully coordinated the overall project.

Munger Construction truly appreciates the confidence AFCON Products has repeatedly placed in our company. We wish them continued success in their newly expanded facility and we look forward to continuing our mutually beneficial business relationship for many years to come.

Our construction project consists of a primary and secondary containment building for import and export of chemicals used in treating this potential drinking water for public consumption. The addition is a Varco Pruden, pre-engineered building featuring a large bay door for tanker truck access, and an epoxy coated, cast-inplace containment reservoir to contain potential spillage. The building design specifically addresses the environmental requirements for chemical usage.

We keep growing and growing

October 5, 2007 marked Vice President of Estimating/Construction Management, Steve Mansfield's, 15-year anniversary at Munger Construction. Steve came to Munger Construction as a third generation builder with 31 years of experience in various aspects of the construction business.

When Steve first came to Munger Construction, Pat Munger had just recently passed away and Munger Construction was undergoing its first "growth spurt" under David DeMaio's leadership. Steve was hired as a project manager/estimator for a large construction project for Algonquin Industries, in Guilford, CT. Steve's dedication and attention to detail became quickly apparent and he became Munger Construction's first full time project manager outside of Pat and David. Steve's ability to produce accurate and extremely detailed estimates helped open many doors of opportunity for Munger Construction and business continued to grow.

Currently, Steve coordinates the flow of project estimates through the office as well as providing support services for field project managers. Steve's even temper and positive approach to all situations makes him extremely easy to work with. He is a master of his trade, exhibiting professionalism in all he does, and he has earned the respect of all who know him.

Steve lives in Clinton, with his wife, Carolyn, and their two children, ages 16 and 18. In his free time, Steve enjoys being involved in the soccer programs in Clinton, CT. Last spring Steve coached his son's U16 soccer team and this coming spring he will coach the U19 team. Steve is also in charge of running the Clinton Invitational Soccer Tournament each May. This tournament hosts 88 soccer teams, in 192 games on 11 fields, for 2 days. (sounds like a lot of work in his "free" time) In addition, Steve was the team manager for the high school soccer team at The Morgan School in Clinton this fall. And when he isn't at Munger or on a soccer field somewhere, he does enjoy working around his home and yard, and riding his motorcycle.

Steve is a key element to the growth and success of Munger Construction. We are all pleased and honored to have him as a member of our staff. THANKS STEVE!
