It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for DEW Construction Corp. Richmond Elementary School recently worked with DEW on a capital improvement project at approximately $3.9 million in scope and size. Throughout the project DEW functioned with quality and the owner’s interests in mind, completing the project with success and professionalism. As the owner’s representative, I was on site nearly every day and witnessed the level of commitment all members of the DEW staff brought to the project and its completion. From the owner’s perspective I can say with assurance that DEW’s project managers, project engineers and on site staff were able to present supportive systems and communication with all those involved in the project. Preconstruction meetings were held consistently to ensure clear understanding by the owner, sub contractors, architects and others. As an owner’s representative I felt confident in approaching any DEW staff to ask questions, share concerns or compliments.
Testimonials
Mary B. Greene, Managing Director – Brattleboro Music Center
How fortunate we have been to partner with DEW for this project which has taken the Brattleboro Music Center from our “temporary” accommodations of 35+ years to this splendid new home which will serve music and our community for generations to come. As you may know, the BMC was founded in 1952, and has not had a proper home until now. We will offer our 65th concert season in the beautiful facilities that DEW has built for us. We are deeply grateful to all who have been part of the remarkable work that is now coming to completion. We are already singing DEW’s praises to all who visit.
David LaPointe, Director of Facilities & Jane E. Fortson, Business Administrator – Monadnock Regional School District
We had the pleasure of working with MacMillan on Phase I of the renovation work that was performed on the Mount Caesar Elementary School located in Swanzey, NH. This work was performed over the summer of 2016 with a very small time frame from start to finish. This was the seventh consecutive year of major renovation work performed on our School District buildings and was by far the most professional, smooth, and timely; we write this letter of recommendation without reservation. The staff were courteous, professional, flexible, and tidy. They kept the Director of Facilities here up to date on the progress of the work and were quick to let him know of any issues or changes necessary as they arose. They went out of their way to ensure that concerns were addressed in a timely manner and were patient with us as we made decisions that may have resulted in changes to their schedule. Again, it is without reservation that we offer this recommendation and look forward to the opportunity to work with MacMillin Company in the future.
Virginia M. Barry, Ph.D., Commissioner of Education, State of New Hampshire, Keene Middle School
Keene Middle School is a model for all schools. It sets the standard to which all future school construction projects should strive to attain. It demonstrates what is possible when the right team is assembled and focused on a common goal even with a limited resources. Your employees and sub-contractors were asked to do a number of things on this project that were out of the ordinary. They met the challenge with confidence and skill. The result is a facility that far exceeds other schools in providing a healthy place for learning, protecting our environment, and reducing operating costs. You can be very proud of their work.
Michael Stevens, Project Manager, University of Vermont, Jeffords Plant Sciences
On behalf of the University of Vermont I would like to express my extreme pleasure with the result of the unannounced VOSHA inspection conducted on the Jeffords Hall jobsite yesterday. Your management staff did an excellent job representing themselves, your company and the University of Vermont during this inspection. The level of knowledge in regard to VOSHA regulation and requirements, within your staff, is some of the highest that I have seen on any site. Your team has accomplished something very important and it deserves to be recognized. To have an unannounced VOSHA inspection end with a statement from enforcement officer that ‘the site was a A ++’ is something to be proud of.
