Testimonials

DEW has continued to confirm our initial belief that they are the best company we could have chosen for this project. Communication, care, and the willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done, from the pre-construction phase to the completion phase, has been the highest priority for the DEW team and their subcontractors.

DEW worked very hard with the school building team to make sure this project came in on budget and on time. They were constantly providing guidance, insight, and alternatives to the design and challenges this project presented. As with any school project, the budget and time line were tight, yet we were able to come in on time and under budget. The communication, commitment, hard work and dedication shown by DEW are second to none and I would recommend them for any project anywhere.

I am writing to express The Putney School’s gratitude and appreciation with respect to DEW’s work on the Michael S. Currier Center. This important project would not have been possible without the commitment and hard work displayed by DEW and its employees. From bidding to certificate of occupancy, DEW and its subcontractors were responsive to suggestions and sensitive to the fact that the work site was on the grounds of a school.

We, through the leadership of DEW, have established a team approach to this project that has worked well with all sub-contractors, architects, engineers, state representatives and the clerk of the works. We have worked through issues professionally and courteously, and this level of trust and respect has made for a better end product. …I am constantly made aware of the high quality of workmanship that has evolved through this process. DEW has consistently gone over and above to demand high quality workmanship on all aspects of this job. I am grateful for this level of perfection and find this project to be a clear result of the extra effort.

As the owner’s representative, I have worked with DEW in construction meetings, in change orders, in debates, in budget meetings and in emergency situations; and it is important to understand that in a large school with over 1000 teenage students and 200 staff many situations happen. I would say in all aspects of this project, DEW has been nothing but exceptionally helpful, professional and timely. As part of this project, we were constructing and renovating while running a full time career/technical center in the same building. Needless to say, sometimes there were disruptions; but DEW ensured a safe and productive site.
