"... Throughout the time that CSI has been working with us to construct our stadium, I have been impressed with your professionalism and abilities.  Your eagerness to perform has been refreshing.  While other Contractors offered excuses when the weather was not cooperating, CSI offered solutions.  The fact that we even got to use the field, after one of the harshest winters and wettest spring and summers on record, is still amazing to me.  It was because of CSI’s ‘can-do” spirit.  ……CSI was masterful at getting the subs to see the importance of OUR timeline, and made the subs perform.  When they didn’t, they were replaced, or reinforces, at no additional costs to the District.  The stadium job has by far been the smoothest running project we have tackled so far, I am sure because of CSI’s presence...

"... CSI provided pre-bond referendum consulting services for the Schuyler Community Schools. CSI team members Dr. Tom Fish and Mr. Dan Biere, assisted the District Administrative Team and the community campaign committee in early organization structure... We look forward to CSI directing the construction of the new elementary center and high school addition in 2008. We highly recommend the CSI team to any school district looking for a first rate partner to assist in a public referendum..." Read All

"... CSI managed my complete build-out in the Brickstone Office Building in West Des Moines.  The project was to build from a shell space to a brand new medical office for my practice.  The new facilities included a reception area, 5 exam rooms, lab, game room, staff lounge, x-ray room, along with intricate plumbing for medical gases and electronics for my paperless office.  I found the process and the staff at CSI to be responsive to my needs while maintaining quality and timeline for occupancy.  The professional manner displayed from start to finish helped to alleviate the concerns that construction brings to any new medical office space.  I would definitely recommend CSI for other health care construction projects...."

Dennis Henderson, City Manager
City of Clive
 
"...we decided to bring on CSI early on in the project.  We felt that having their professional advice would help us coordinate an economical building plan allowing us to maximize our budget for the building which would ultimately reduce the cost.  Even though our referendum failed, the addition of CSI to our planning team was very fruitful and they were extremely helpful in cost estimating and developing more economical ways to accomplish the building plan while enhancing the architectural aesthetics..."

John Gibson, Director of Public Works
City of Waukee
 
" ……CSI has completed the preconstruction portion of our project and we hope to commence the construction next year.  We have found them to be very instrumental in our understanding of our costs on the job.  We have a very tight budget and CSI has been diligent and creative in trying to find savings to bring us the best value for the buck.  They furthermore complemented the design team in both challenging of the design for the best methods to achieve the desired result.  They have done this in a very constructive way, never being confrontational and always very responsive to our needs.  In addition, they worked well with the City staff to understand our issues and facilities, into plans.  Finally, and perhaps most importantly, they have given us attention at the highest level of their organization, always making us feel that we were most important to them.  We truly believe that their preconstruction services has been a valuable asset and saved us monies to do more with our project on a limited budget.

I highly recommend them to everyone and see the City continuing in our relationship with them....." Read All

"... “With all of the companies seeking to solicit the school construction dollar, this is a group that delivers.  Perhaps the biggest strength brought to bear was the involvement of the highest level management personnel and their willingness to react immediately to customer concerns and to never allow small issues to become big ones.  Construction is an inexact science and the ability to anticipate and react to potential problems or avoid them altogether is an invaluable commodity.”...

Allan Inzerello, Asst Superintendent
Omaha Westside Community Schools
 

"CSI managed our $2.2 million renovation of our Baseball/Tennis Complex for Westside High School with extraordinary expertise and innovation. The staff at CSI worked as true partners with our designers and district staff to craft a project that will provide a high quality venue for baseball and tennis competition and recreation for our school and community. Under CSI's leadership the project remained on budget and on time. Their ability to plan, coordinate and adjust was evident throughout the construction calendar. In addition, they did an outstanding job of communicating from the beginning through to completion of the project. CSI is truly a quality team of professionals and we look forward to having them work for our district again!!"

Dave Wilkerson, Superintendent
Waukee Schools
 
"... All of our construction projects were delivered on time and within budget.  The secondary building, Prairieview School, was built during the same time frame that the Jordan Creek Towne Center was being built.  This posed particularly interesting challenges in that the construction labor market in the Des Moines Metro Area was stretched to meet the demands of such a large project.  CSI was able to keep workers on site and on schedule..."

“We have just completed the first phase of a rather extensive and complex remodel of one of our older buildings. To help us with this project we called on CSI to represent our interests and to ensure we obtained the most cost effective solutions possible. They have been great to work with and have fully delivered on their promise. We look forward to continuing our relationship with them on future projects.”

Orient-Macksburg

Jerry Waugh, Retired Superintendent

Orient-Macksburg Community Schools
 

“We were all most impressed with Tom Fish, Steve Bennett and the good folks at CSI.  They responded to my calls very quickly—in fact most of the time they were on the telephone immediately—I didn’t have to leave a voicemail and hope they got it.  They came and met repeatedly with the school board and were very responsive to the questions and desires of the board.  Their explanations were very understandable and complete and they left the board very comfortable and satisfied that they were getting the product that they wanted.  They asked the school board for the names of local contractors and worked hard to give all of the local contractors an opportunity to be involved in the remodeling process.”

Dal Tile

Dan Drey

SSC Manager, Daltile Corporation

 

“Our new location was built from a shell into 4 offices, a customer service area, break room, conference room, and a tile & stone showroom. On a local level, CSI impressed me with their team work, along with their hands on approach. They showed genuine interest for our concerns, big or small. Another important trait for a project to be successful is follow-up. It is now 6 months after taking possession of our facilities and CSI continues to check in to see how things are going with the build out. I would recommend CSI for projects similar to ours.”

 
Riverfront Place
--------------------------------------------------------------
Ross Robb, Member
Riverfront Partners, LLC
 
"We are currently working with CSI on Riverfront Place, a high-rise condominium and town home project along the Missouri River in Downtown Omaha. The need for accurate pre-construction estimating is critical to the success of for-sale housing since we rely on these estimates to set sales pricing. We do not have the opportunity to adjust executed sales contract prices after the construction bids are in. Dan Biere worked closely and compatibly with our entire development team for several months prior to the final bidding of the project and ultimately delivered the bid very close to what had been estimated. That is an impressive accomplishment especially in the construction cost environment in which we are currently operating. We look forward to successfully completing our project and to working with CSI on future projects"

"I wish to extend my sincere thanks for the professionalism exhibited on behalf of Construction Services, Inc. over the duration of our tenant improvement build-out in our West Des Moines claims office. Construction Services' performance was outstanding in all aspects.

During the bid process and construction process, your team worked efficiently and effectively to stay on task. The project needed the short time of one month to complete renovations in the 16,000 square feet of space that we were moving to. Weekly meetings and constant communication made the project seamless and without any major issues. The quality of finishes and craftsmanship throughout the space was first-rate.
Thank you to your team and subcontractors. You were able to keep the project on track and make miracles happen.

I am very proud of our new office space. It was a pleasure working with the staff of Construction Services. You can be proud of the professionalism exhibited. If I may be of reference to any future projects, please contact me."

"I know what CSI brings to each project. I am familiar with R&R Realty and what it takes to be successful for them. I know they will bring the same value to us, as they do for R&R."
