TESTIMONIALS
Here are what some of our clients had to say about our construction services:
“We knew about Holland’s great reputation in building schools. The company does outstanding work, and has been professionally prepared and very helpful to the board and school officials. We’ve been impressed with Bruce Holland and the entire team.”
—Mike Green
Superintendent - Mt. Vernon City School District 80
“Holland continues to be a valuable business-to-business partner. As we invest in our future for our associates and our clientele, Holland provides the people, the practices and the performance we have come to expect.”
“It’s a testament to a company when they provide and retain high performance and high quality individuals with a contagious can-do attitude and a firm resolve to make the client happy, completing the project on-time and on budget. The team works extremely well together. Any questions we had were answered quickly and competently. They weren’t afraid to say, ‘I don’t know, but I’ll find out for you,’ and my favorite—they rarely told me, no.”
—Kurt Mungenast
President - Mungenast Automotive Family
“The Holland team is great to work with. They understand that patient treatment is our top priority, and the team made sure that neither the patients nor the project timeline was compromised.
Holland was responsive, met challenges and maintained excellent communication throughout the project."
—Chris Wayne
Executive Director - Memorial and St. Elizabeth's Cancer Treatment Center
“There are a number of construction companies that successfully build commercial structures on a daily basis but fire stations are unique in the fact that they have a business center, sleeping area, kitchen and garage area that all have to flow together and not cause additional steps when trying to get firefighters from one part of the building into the apparatus bays and on the apparatus. This takes the kind of experience Holland can offer.”
—Brian Doyle
Fire Chief - Fairview Caseyville Township Fire Protection District
“Holland Construction has a proven track record of success. The company’s ability to provide a comprehensive range of services from planning, design, cost opinions, budgeting and communication through project completion appealed to the needs of the Board of Education. The Holland team made the entire building process easier for the district.”
—Jack Bambrick
Superintendent - Johnston City CCUSD #1
“Holland Construction provided a quality job – on time and under budget. They were very professional and easy to work with. As a part of the total team during all phases of this project, Holland worked with changes and concerns in a timely and efficient manner.”
—Mark Turner
President & CEO - Memorial Hospital
"Holland Construction team was easy to work with and was always available to answer questions, promptly addressing any concerns.
It was a complicated project with multiple buildings, but Holland handled it well and when tenants began to move into the first buildings, the team was very sensitive to the residents and the property manager, while continuing construction on additional structures.
Holland’s great reputation and experience in the Metro East market were major factors in choosing the construction company for the development, and the planning, design and construction phases went great."
—Steve Brown
President / CEO - Balke Brown Associates
"We live within 2 blocks of the soon-to-be Mungenast Hyundai location, on Dunn Road in Hazelwood Missouri.
It's a pleasure to write about how clean Dunn Road has been kept. I was ready to write about dirt, gravel and mud clods, but Holland Construction pulled the rug out from under me. Every time I drive past there's a guy sweeping and scraping the road and shoulders, plus, I see them hose the wheels off as they leave the site! Wow!
I know the industry's sagging, profits are down and there must be temptation to cut corners, so it's especially nice to see that Holland maintains quality standards. What I see on the outside, I assume follows throughout the project and the organization.
Please keep it going. I hope you get more contracts to build stuff in our area."
—Mike Schott
Hazelwood Resident
"I was not involved in the construction of this center, but managing it really reminds me how much thought and planning everyone involved with your company put into the construction of Oakwood Plaza. This center does not have external hose bibs and some other features that are not standard for architects to include, but which HCS correctly noticed would be needed to properly care for the center once it opened and filled with tenants. These items are tricky and expensive to add later, but were no problem when added during initial construction.
It’s easy to see why your company has prospered for 25 years – quality and service to your clients."
—Carol Amos
The Ferris Group
" The Holland team thought about a lot of the little details along the way, and we would definitely recommend Holland Construction to anyone and use the company’s services again. A shortened construction time was a big factor in choosing Holland, and safety for our clients and staff was also a big concern. There were no issues even with the practice operational throughout construction, and the Holland team has really pulled this project together quickly.”
