ACHIEVING CONCRETE
GOALS TOGETHER
As a general contractor with a superb safety record ourselves and a passionate commitment to safety on all our projects, Whitaker/Ellis’ Red Vest program stands out amongst A+ contractors as a highly successful and respected safety initiative.
I have been thoroughly impressed with the results that Whitaker/Ellis has been able to achieve on the concrete for Multnomah Station Apartments. The W/E team did a great job coordinating expectations before the project, providing full-scale mockups and running a robust pre-construction meeting.
The quality of the both the floors and the curbs were as good as I see anywhere. Our team has been happy with your responsiveness and adherence to the schedule. You are a valued partner on this project and we hope to have future projects in the area so that we can team up again.
At the Courtyard at Mount Tabor I was very happy with the performance and engagement of the Whitaker/Ellis team. The Project Manager’s attention to detail and willingness to discuss issues/changes to help better process these changes in a timely manner with the ownership group was exceptional. He was honest in his discussions with me and knowledgeable about the trade and specific scope of the project. He always kept an even temperament despite some sticky situations. I would be happy to work with W/E…in the future.
We appreciate your work in getting the Bonneville Lock Emergency Repairs done. Your team was really outstanding. Your PM is an all-star and the rest of the team were professional, safe, and innovative. You were critical to making things work. I appreciate your willingness to take calls late into the night and juggle things so well.
