“You know we were incredibly satisfied with your team’s work in 2009 when we gutted the main part of our building and performed a total transformation of it. This included installing an elevator, new HVAC, new electrical and lighting, creating the commercial kitchen, new bathrooms, modifying the interior layout, and new exterior walls. Working with Bob Piazza to price everything for us and advise us on the decisions we needed to make was a great experience and helped us make sure we could stay in budget. The construction manager process really worked well for us. I believe we had over 150 change orders, and we got more done on that project than I ever thought possible. Bob and site foreman, Russ Rushon, always handled everything with a smile.
When it came time for our smaller add on projects in 2016, I was so happy you agreed to take on the project for us because I did not want to work with anyone else. Again, you sent us great people to work with. Bob Piazza helped us with initial pricing and decisions on scope of work on which we needed help. I got many compliments on how accommodating site foreman, Tom Marra, was to us during construction, and Kyle Aiviano was great to work with on coordinating the final work for us. And by the way, his suggestion on the Tyco lock system was genius. Again we are very happy with how all the work came out.”
