Excerpts from a letter dated 4/27/99:
...At each step of the process, Essex General Construction worked hard to ensure that the interests of Goodwill Industries were kept foremost in mind. Every Essex General Construction employee with whom I came in contact exemplified the highest standards of professional pride, workmanship, and desire to ensure that the end product exceeded the expectations of Goodwill Industries. Essex General Construction took full accountability for every aspect of the project, and was quick to follow up on any item that required attention. Of particular note were the site supervisors: they kept on schedule; looked after details; responded quickly to any concern we had; kept us informed, and provided accurate accounts of all construction related administration. They often made recommendations on how we might improve the project, and did so with an eye on keeping the project within budget. Essex General Construction was a pleasure to have on board as a partner in seeing our project come to life. Peter Cadigan |

Dear Essex Construction: It was such a surprise to receive your beautiful fall floral plant! Thank you ever so much for the kindness and good wishes expressed by you on the opening of our new store. We are excited about this venture and are pleased with all our efforts in the preparation of our property. There has been much effort by many people in the creation of our building, and your contribution was the basis for its successful completion. Ron Bowker,

June 30, 2003 We approached our first building experience with a great deal of trepidation If it did not go well it could be expensive and possibly even halt the growth and progress of our company. ...Upon our first visit, it became clear that Essex was easy to do business with and that they had the professional staff to make our dream a reality. Their management team not only had the individual expertise, but they also had the ability to coordinate the various disciplines in an effective way. They soon vaporized the comments and horror stories we had heard from everyone, from finance people to others, who had been involved in building projects. When questions or unexpected developments did arise, the Essex staff communicated immediately with us, explaining our options and likely outcomes, again illustrating their extensive knowledge and experience. Our entire experience, from the beginning, was one of excitement and fun. We will always remember working with the staff at Essex as truly an enjoyable event. We highly recommend them to anyone who wants the job done right. Fred Germyn |
