My wife and I have recently completed construction of a new Partners in Building home in Spring Valley. I write this letter to raise your awareness to the outstanding job of our construction Project Manager/Superintendent, Jamie Dutton.
Jamie made us feel comfortable that we were in good hands throughout the building process, starting the moment we had our initial meeting. We're delighted with the finished product.
In thinking about Jamie's performance in building our home, a few themes come to mind:
Flexibility - my wife and I both work, and as such flexibility with meeting times was important to us. We had several meetings with Jamie that occurred either before 8am or after 5pm, enabling the process to continue moving forward while minimizing impact on our work schedules. Scheduling expertise - Jamie was a master scheduler. From early on, he had a schedule to the day for all the work to be done months out. Our construction followed his daily schedule nearly exactly from start to finish. Professional - Jamie conducted himself professionally at all times. At no point was Jamie not in control of his emotions - not once. Reasonable - Jamie was reasonable throughout the process. On occasion when there was something in the process that wasn't covered in the house plans or previously discussed with the designer, we found Jamie to be reasonable as we worked through options and related costs. Respectful - my wife and I both noticed separately that Jamie treated members of the work crews with the same respect he showed to us, his customers. Responsive - Jamie was always responsive to our questions and requests. Detail/Quality oriented - Jamie displayed the same attention to detail in constructing our home that I would expect from him in building a home of his own. Jamie demonstrated a commitment to "getting it done right."
If you have any specific questions about our experience with Jamie, please feel free to contact me. My wife and I would be happy to serve as references to Partners in Building in the future.
Kind regards,
Jeff W.
