After so many years and several projects, it is easy to take for granted the notion that each project will run smoothly….the Quest Diagnostics corporate project manager asked if all our projects ran so smoothly and did we have such strong team camaraderie. I had to stop and think about it. Our projects with Cypress Contracting have always run that way. I told this gentleman that each member of the team respects the other and we all work together for the good of the owner and project. It’s often said, but rarely executed so well….in reality, it’s more than that. Cypress Contracting has consistently looked ahead and addressed issues before they became issues. You have always put the needs of the owner first…..other contractors I have known seem to be looking for change orders at every turn…Cypress works to get the job done with the minimum of change orders…When we get to the close-out phase, your team completes the work on time, efficiently and cleanly.
