”With one of the nation’s largest real estate portfolios, AT&T has entered into alliances with contractors to complete its capital improvement projects. It is through this process I came to work with Denise.
When you work with a delivery system such as ours, the close proximity between contractor and client can be challenging and stressful. Denise demonstrated her value to the team through her professionalism, enthusiasm, and and all around excellent work ethic. Her eagerness to solve problems and ability to be flexible allowed her to adapt to a changing environment, allowing for a smoother project conclusion.
Over the past 4.5 years, we have collaborated on various building projects, including new construction, expansions of existing facilities, demolition projects and impromements to existing infrastructure.
