CATER - EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, GIRL SCOUTS INLAND EMPIRE
COUNCIL
...Our
decision to select Ramey Construction for our Program Center
renovation was a result of their clear understanding of
the differences in non-profit and for-profit corporations.
Girl Scouts is providing a service to the community and
putting all available resources into that service. Fundraising
is hard work. We needed to work with someone who would help
us save money at every opportunity and still have a well
constructed and good looking buidling. Randy Ramey and Jason
Ramey serve on several non-profit boards and they understood
our needs.
As
we moved through the construction of Phase I, our experience
was positive. I learned to trust Jason Ramey's judgement
and recommendations through the endless decisions that had
to be made. We were very quickly on the same wave length,
as he understood I was very cost conscious. We reused windows
and doors, insulation and fixtures, and negotiated varying
ceiling heights to save money, make it functional, and at
the same time make it look terrific. He worked with subcontractors
to get discounts for Girl Scouts and also suggested ways
to modify the design to save money...
...The
look of the entry way, conference room, and offices is as
nice as any for-profit workplace. We couldn't be more pleased.
...We
are now in the middle of Phase II construction. Due to excellent
communication with Ramey Construction, we realized that
we did not need full architectural services on Phase II,
and we saved a substantial amount with that decision. Ramey
Construction has been helpful and a pleasure to work with
at every step of the way. We anticipate completing our project
by year end. I highly recommend them to you.
