Testimonials

On all levels, your staff displayed excellence in communication, organization, timeliness and quality workmanship in the construction of the Living and Learning Centers. If problems arose, they were able to generate viable solutions and offer alternatives. Your team set a standard of excellence of workmanship that was expected from all workers and subs that were engaged in the project.

Over the years The Putney School has engaged the services of DEW for all three of the school’s major construction projects. Given that the field house is scheduled to be a “net zero” consumer of energy as well as LEED Platinum certified we knew that the design and construction of the building would require an extraordinary degree of collaboration and effort on the part of the builder. From the school’s perspective we could not have been happier with the personnel, attention to detail, schedule and budget we have experience during this latest project. We would be more than happy to recommend DEW to potential customers.

From the beginning, I was impressed by the professionalism, organization, and planning of DEW and their ability to manage subcontractors. Everything ran smoothly as planned and the project was completed on time even though our summer construction window was tight.

As we approach our last job meeting, I’d like to comment on our entire process with DEW. Prior to starting this construction process I heard several horror stories about the principal’s experiences during a construction process. Ours with DEW has been the complete opposite. I have found the entire experience, from July 2007 until now, very rewarding. It was one of those experiences that come out even better than you’d ever imagine. Better yet, it was done on time and on budget! I would enthusiastically recommend DEW to any school system consolidating or doing new construction.

The level of professionalism exhibited by all of the DEW staff impresses me.  I was concerned about the safety of my students and staff as well as minimizing disruption as much as possible.  Every single DEW staff member was consistently receptive and responsive to my concerns.  They listened and responded when I expressed concerns and they were patient when I asked questions about the work that was being completed.  I learned a lot!  The scope of the work in a relatively short period of time made me skeptical that we would be ready for the first day of school. While it was very, very close, the DEW crew and the sub-contractors pushed to make sure my students had  a safe and aesthetically pleasing school to enter on their first day of school.
