Common questions from agencies and organizations
How long does a commercial kennel take?
Commercial kennels currently take about 10 - 12 weeks to build once the layout is approved. Larger custom facilities take longer to design, and we'll give you a timeline with your quote.
Can you design a kennel around our site and program?
Yes. Every commercial kennel is laid out with you: run count and size, office, storage, whelping or quarantine space, wash-down and drains. You approve the layout drawings before anything is built.
Do you work with purchase orders or bids?
Yes. We've designed and built kennels for federal, state and local agencies, and we're used to working through purchase orders and formal bids. Pinecraft is registered in SAM.gov (CAGE code 7VZK8). Send us your specifications or bid package, and we'll prepare a quote and work with your procurement office on the paperwork.
How are kennels delivered?
Kennels arrive fully assembled. Our driver unloads each one with a Mule forklift and drives it right into place on your site, so the driver will need clear access all the way to the spot where it will sit. Watch for narrow gates, fences, trees, overhead wires, and soft or steep ground. Larger facilities arrive in sections and are joined on site. We'll go over the delivery route, site prep, power and water with you before delivery day.
