Construction Project Reviews - Real Words from Real Clients

"G3 Architecture is pleased to have completed two Point of Presence Fiber Optic Data Facilities (PoP's) in Tampa and Orlando, FL for Boulder, CO-based Zayo Communications. These Central Florida PoP's provided mission-critical bandwidth enhancements to this intercity fiber network. Many thanks to our Miami-based design-build partner #unifiedbuildinggroup.

"I am the Founder and CEO of Third Future Schools, a new charter network in Colorado. We contracted with John Albert and Unified Building Group to build our first school. The project required turning a former Hobby Lobby (50,000 square feet) into a 500-student, elementary school in five months. Few thought it was possible and no one thought it could be done on time and at budget. Through excellent work, incredible project management, and a real sense of urgency, Unified Building Group got the job done and our students started the school year in a great building. UBG was in constant communications with me, the architect, and the owner’s representative, ensuring that our interests were being met and any concerns addressed. In such a competitive market, I believe John’s leadership and his team’s ability to attract highly-skilled workers made all the difference. We hope to continue the partnership with UBG as we expand our present school and build other ones in the near future.

"I am the director of facilities and Sphere3d Corp and recently contracted with John Albert and Unified Building Group. In summary we were “on time under budget” with minimal employee disruption during the process. This partnership resulted in a successful tenant improvement project & office relocation. Some key contributor factors to the project success were:

• Flexibility to accommodate fast pace project.
• Transparency of the “cost plus” model that allowed us to value engineer the project and engage directly with the subcontractors.

I manage all real estate and construction worldwide for Sphere 3D and it is sometimes difficult to find partners to work our best interest. UBG delivered on the project in this highly competitive market. I was impressed with their responsiveness, and true commitment allowing a mutually beneficial transaction."

Tony Davis (Director Corporate - Facilities Sphere3D Corp)

I am an architect and the principal of verso LLC. I have collaborated several times with John Albert and Unified Building Group, and have always been impressed with their work ethic and project delivery. Most notably, they were the GC’s for two restaurants I designed while working at Caddis, PC. Both were on time and beautifully executed. They delivered a fabulous product and went above and beyond to make it as close as possible to the design and the client’s wishes. Some of the qualities that set them above other GC’s are:

• Extreme flexibility and ability to perform fast pace projects.
• Capacity to adapt and resolve unforeseen existing conditions.
• Great communicators and managers. They keep the entire team up to date and engaged.
• Budget conscious.
• Great craft and pride in their work
• Very respectful and family oriented workers.

I think very highly of John and the entire UBG team.

"In my work as a corporate construction project manager for an international startup, I have had the pleasure working with Unified Building Group and John Albert. John is highly professional and diligent in his desire to understand customer’s needs. He ensured that all of my projects finished ahead of schedule and within budget, all while being flexible to changing customer requests.

He is extremely knowledgeable about the construction process and helped guide the phases of T.I. construction to meet our occupancy deadline. He is also enjoyable to work with and manages his team of subcontractors extremely well. His communication style is both relaxed and effectively bridging the gap between CEOs, stakeholders, and contractors. I welcome the opportunity and look forward to working with John and Unified Building Group again in the future."

Unified’s team continues to amaze me.  I’ve never worked with an organization that consistently delivers solutions despite the obstacles in their way.  They always have our best interest in mind and do what they say they will. Their responsiveness, quality and attitudes, make all the difference.  I have been in charge of mission critical projects for 30years and it’s refreshing to have a partner like Unified Building Group. They are by far one of the most resourceful companies I have worked with and a true joy to work with.
