We have been impressed with Gene’s ability to schedule work, to organize a building site, to coordinate sub-contractors and to deal with people. His intelligence and disposition have given us and our clients confidence.

Six months ago I last had the opportunity to work with Gene on an unusually detailed, complicated and expensive custom residence in Pocantico Hills, NY and I was the project architect. During the entire 2 1/2 year period the job was under construction…Gene’s communication skills great facilitated our office’s daily contact with the jobsite... His technical suggestions often caused us to rethink details. As a result, design and construction quality were noticeably enhanced ... a real asset to any construction related business... Gene is truly a construction professional.

Gene is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and pleasant to work with. This job (Waccabuc Country Club, Waccabuc, NY) consisted of careful traditional detailing. His ability not only to proceed with his own services ... but to coordinate all of the other sub-contractors ... showed excellent management skills.

Gene has a well rounded technical knowledge of construction materials and methods and a most professional manner of dealing with owners, architects and workmen.

His intelligence, education and sensitivity to the scope of this project enabled the job to run smoothly and saved the architects numerous site visits and saved time delays for the owner.

Gene’s knowledge of the building industry is extensive. This coupled with his integrity makes him extremely valuable.

The project is a success, and that success is a testament to you and your abilities ... your knowledge of construction and your extraordinary ability to work with a large cast of personalities... In this one project, you had to become familiar and coordinate new, sophisticated technologies, have had to assist a manufacturer to develop a new line of windows and doors, have used a relatively new concrete system in ways never anticipated by the manufacturer and as if it was not enough, you have had to coordinate ancient crafts of stone work, slate roofing, copper work, repousse ironwork and many kinds of elaborate and fine interior detailing... I hope that we will have the opportunity to do it again.

I attribute the success of the project to the experience and attention to detail that Gene brought with him.
