WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY:
KEPCO+ was available, always capable, an expert in their field, yet open and willing to follow as we progressed from concept to production and installation. Their knowledge in the design-assist phase was a great asset as they worked to maintain our vision for the client, while incorporating the design requirements of seismic loads and other necessary components...I would recommend the KEPCO+ team to anyone who requires forward-thinking, solution-oriented, and innovative people who have their attention on the quality of the finished product.
Essential elements of classical architecture such as entasis for columns and pilasters, massive base course stones and entablature elements were made possible only through your creative solutions for managing schedule and cost on the entire stone contract. Without your capable collaboration, the quality and level of detail achieved on these buildings would not have been possible within the given schedule and budget.
From the very start of the project, you and your team were willing to dive in and be a major contributor to the design efforts and continue that drive to a successful completion of the stone and terra cotta work. Your accomplishments on the terra cotta work were extraordinary, the terra cotta column design, fabrication, and erection was definitely 'out of the box' thinking, a trait that is common for your group.
Throughout the preconstruction phase, KEPCO+ worked closely with Sahara, the architect, and the owner to maintain budgets, select appropriate materials, and identify long lead time materials... Through both preconstruction and construction phases of Cottonwood Corporate Center Building #11, KEPCO+'s expertise and commitment to our project was exemplary. Schedules were met, details were resolved, promises were kept, changes were held to a minimum, and upon completion of the work punchlist issues were remarkably few and quickly taken care of. We value our relationship with KEPCO+ and highly recommend them to any owner where building facade requirements need creative and cost-effective solutions.
From the beginning to end, the people at KEPCO+ showed a high level of professionalism and enthusiasm, working closely with the construction team to develop the prefabricated stone panel system. KEPCO+ proved to be an invaluable resource for recommending appropriate techniques and detail for the fabrication and installation of the system. The resulting quality of the prefabricated stone paneling reflects KEPCO+'s attention to detailing, fabrication techniques, and quality control as well as their sensitivity to the architect's aesthetic concerns while providing these services on a tight construction schedule. Throughout the development and fabrication process, KEPCO+ proved to be an eager participant which, in the end, provided a high quality service while working with stringent aesthetic demands and specifications while at the same time meeting all budget and schedule requirements.
The experience and knowledge that you bring to the table and your willingness to share are key to the success that we continue to enjoy in looking back on these projects. KEPCO+ has always been more than willing to put forth the extra effort required to make a project "just right". You have listened, understood, done your research, and always came with the right solution required to allow the intent of the design to surface. You bring ideas and knowledge to the table that others don't have, with an energy and enthusiasm. It is obvious that you are a team player, and the success of a project is not just your profitability. The expectations of the owner, the vision of the architect, and the schedule and budgets of the contractor are equally important measures of success, and you always strive to balance them all. KEPCO+ is a class "A" organization, and I look forward to continued association on future projects.
The early design build collaboration of your preconstruction team along with our architects, designer, and contractor was critical in achieving the outstanding work. The superlative workmanship both in your pre-assembly facility as well as in the field demonstrated considerable skill in balancing the aesthetic needs of the designers and us while satisfying the requirements of budget and schedule. Your recommendation to proceed with shop drawings while we were visiting numerous buildings to confirm stone selection was especially beneficial to our schedule and the demands of coordination.
KEPCO+'s early-on familiarity with the desired design intentions/aesthetics, their technical expertise/advise, and their timely cost estimating was a major asset to the entire team and project. From the schematic design phase, through design development, construction documents, and ultimately construction, KEPCO+ was very aggressive, responsive, and thorough. KEPCO+ pays very special attention to the details and exhibits the most thorough product quality control that I have ever seen in 15 years and 5 million square feet of commercial design experience.
One of the most important elements of any development program is the assimilation of the best team for any given project. We have used and will continue to use KEPCO+ as our lead team member for exterior wall construction simply because KEPCO+ is aggressive, competitive, and understands how the total team must function in order to be successful in the construction market. We have a very high level of confidence in KEPCO+ and do not hesitate to recommend their services.
We have had the pleasure of working with you on Cottonwood Corporate Center Buildings #10 and #11, the corporate headquarters for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Utah, and Sahara Construction's new offices. We are very pleased with your terrific service, the fine materials, and the high-quality installation.
In addition to their meticulous approach to purchasing, acquisition, and scheduling, KEPCO+ has been an enormous help during the design and preconstruction phases of the project. Numerous times, the architect has requested KEPCO+'s assistance in working out details pertaining to the exterior skin of the project. If you are looking for a professional, results-oriented granite supplier and installer, I strongly recommend that you give favorable consideration to KEPCO+.
Your firm had a very intricate part of the success of the One Utah project. It was a pleasure to work with a company that followed through with their commitments as promised. Your preconstruction services helped in maintaining our critical construction schedule.
