| Comments by architects, developers, public housing executives and subcontractors reflect our success in achieving our goals. After working with our division, architect Arthur R. Cogswell, FAIA, said, "Crosland has an impressive ability to maintain a high standard of quality while at the same time to consistently bring projects in on time and on budget. Further, their field personnel are very easy to work with and clearly have a quality orientation, which makes for an extremely pleasant working relationship. Obviously this is a reflection of a managmeent philosophy which has made Crosland a very successful company: quite competent and businesslike, focusing on schedule and cost, but retaining a strong commitment to the interests of their clients." Affordable Housing Group commented, "The quality of the product that Crosland produces is exceptionally good and we have the utmost respect for the work that they have done for us. As a small but very active affordable housing developer we do not hae time to deal with anyone but the best. The Crosland team has demonstrated flexibility and responsiveness to our needs and is very easy to work with." HOPE VI Program Manager Ginger Kimbrell said, "As a public entity receiving public funding, we are subject to rules and regulations that reach far above and beyond the scope of normal construction. The Crosland team demonstrates flexibility and responsiveness to our needs and is very easy to work with. After working closely with Crosland staff ..., I have found them to be exceptionally competent and extremely knowledgeable." Gerard Reid, Executive Vice President of Shelco, Inc., said, "By far the most impressive display of their business ethics and overall quality of work has been the Birkdale Village project. This massive project in itself was a moving target, which required quick and pro-active management skills, as well as field execution talents, which Crosland Contractors performed at the highest level." Charles Travis, Principal of The Housing Studi, said, "It has been a privilege to work with Crosland Contracting. The team atmosphere that Crosland applies to every project is exemplified in the professional commitment of all staff members – from pre-construction through the final close out of the project. The experience and competence of Crosland associates make Crosland unique as a general contractor in the multifamily industry, and the quality of work they produce is exceptional. We are always proud to be associated with the buildings that Crosland constructs for us." H. Allen Mooney, President of Criterium Engineers, said, "Crosland Contracting is to be complimented for its commitment to construction quality. In my 35 years of experience as a consulting engineer, I have heard many contractors claim to be committed to a quality product. Only a few, however, have taken definitive action to produce a quality product that proves that commitment; Crosland is one of those select few. Crosland has created a culture that is relentlessly in pursuit of the best quality construction. Crosland is an industry leader." |
