I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on the work performed by Dean Kurtz Construction for the Meade School District 46-1. It was very evident from the beginning of the project that the team of professionals that were assembled by you had the necessary experience, knowledge, desire, and dedication to deliver the renovation project on time and on budget. This combination of qualities is rare and hard to find in today’s construction environment. The Meade School District 46-1 is very pleased with the outcome of the project and more importantly, the relationship that was developed along the way is invaluable.

Ben Stewart, FPE

Area Manager Western States Fire Protection

I have been meaning to write a note since we moved into our new space on November 1, but time has gotten away from me. Moving into new space after being in our old location for over twenty years was a bit unnerving for many reasons. Truthfully, working with GSA is known to be challenging and the biggest reason I dreaded this move.

Thankfully, I had Brad Kurtz, Stephen Burgess and Will on the project. Between the three of them, they had things taken care of before I even had a chance to worry or think about it. Even my GSA leasing officer told me several times that he has never worked with a finer crew, they made his job easy.

Administrative Officer, Federal Public Defender Offices

Dean Kurtz Construction Company (DKC) has done an excellent job as Construction Manager on the Hermosa School Project. Coordination and communication are always key to a successful project, but especially so when there is school in session alongside a construction project and DKC’s communication has been outstanding. They have gone above and beyond in using the project as a learning experience for the students as Steve Burgess has given multiple tours and presentations to all the grade levels where he often shares a message of the importance of teamwork. From design development thru construction, DKC has offered valuable advice on constructability and phasing and successfully navigated pandemic-related supply chain issues to ensure a smoothly flowing project and a happy client. On behalf of the design team, we could not have asked for a better partner than Dean Kurtz Construction Company.
