What Our Clients Say

arrow&v

They Always Took Care Of It

"And what was great about at least one of those expectations I had for me that was an over-performing part as the superintendent, Leighton and Troy always listened to me. And there's one thing that I'm never afraid of is I'm going to speak up. If something concerns me, I'm going to speak up. I'm not going to try to be an ass about it but I'm going to let you know that I've got a problem with this or that or whatever it is. They always listened. They always took care of it."

One of the most successful projects

"I know I speak for all members of the Facilities Management team, the design team, and Athletics in general when I say this is one of the most successful projects ever built on this campus. Thank you for your part in making this project such a great success."

Coming Up With VE Solutions

"Pinkard came to the table a little better than the architect did as far as coming up with VE solutions"

You Guys Over Perform In Every Area

"I'm going to be completely honest. I will say that to me-- I can't speak for anyone else in this city. This is just for myself only. To me, you guys over-perform in every area, every expectation that I have."

Worked Hard To Come Up With Solutions

".... [The] team worked really hard to come up with solutions that would get us where we needed to be dollar wise and that wouldn't compromise the design intent too much"

Great Taking On Unexpected Challenges

Your superintendent Mike Rife really did a wonderful job. He was great, taking on (unexpected) challenges and stress, and he handled it like a champ.
