Testimonials

At Emerald Construction, we take pride in the relationships we build with our clients. Here's what some of our satisfied clients have to say about their experience with us:

"Emerald was the best construction company we've ever dealt with. I travel internationally with various projects including construction and this, by far was the best construction experience I have had. The team knew the project from the beginning, even the President. The Project Superintendent always had a solution to questions that arose. He worked closely with my team in this multi-phased project and made the whole process so much easier. I could not be happier with the success of this project and the attention and resources Emerald Construction gave to it." - Greg Waters, Regional Director, Corporate Services, Allianz Worldwide Partners

"Every person on the Emerald Team has contributed toward a successful build out. Because of Emerald, we were always successful in delivering each of the phases. I was so appreciative of our partnership. Your agile team has always been able to bend & flex to our ever changing environment and has delivered high quality results with tight timelines. Providing wonderful customer service has been at the heart of our business relationship." - Pamela Rivera, Indivior

"Emerald and Precision worked so well together it seemed like we were on same team (company). I never had a moment where I felt I was being mislead or taken. Sometimes when you work with GC the personal feel is lost in the weeds of the job. I never once felt that on this job. Your team were always willing to work with us and the client to find a solution that worked for everyone." - Richard T. Partridge, Jr., President, Partridge Engineering
