Our Fans

In my role as project manager, I appreciate the thoroughness of SMR’s construction documents and their responsiveness to questions, submittals, and other items critical to job progress. Their commitment to teamwork, communication, understanding, and problem-solving helps eliminate unnecessary stress and allows the project team to focus on the real challenges encountered in construction.
