“In the face of a tight schedule, coupled with significant site and weather delays, ARCO continually exceeded our expectations. The ability of the ARCO project management team to plan ahead, problem solve and communicate expectations were key components in making this a successful project. In spite of site constraints which delayed the progress of the work and less than desirable weather conditions, ARCO delivered the project ahead of schedule and under budget.”
Larry Wright | Senior Construction Manager | DHL
“The ARCO team performed exceptionally well in many areas including preconstruction, estimating, design, permitting, scheduling, procurement, quality, safety, closeout, reporting, communication and maintaining excellent relationships with all project stakeholders. Despite the unusually high amount of rainfall during the project, ARCO completed the projects ahead of schedule and within their budgets by implementing proactive solutions such as careful activity sequencing, increased workforce when needed, lime stabilization, flowable fill and working every opportunity that the weather permitted. ARCO’s experience, creativity and team approach resulted in collaborative and timely decisions and actions needed to keep this project on track.”

“ARCO superintendent Dennis O’Grady, through his efforts working with and coordinating the activities of the various trades, kept the project running smoothly in spite of often less than desirable weather conditions and the fast track nature of the project. Over the past 25 years of my career as an architect and construction administrator, I have worked with both good and bad project managers and superintendents. Based upon my experience, I have no reservations stating that I consider Dennis to be one of the best superintendents I have encountered during my professional career.”
