Polo Towers III Build Out & Fitness Center
To Whom it May Concern:
I am pleased to acknowledge the dedication and professionalism of the Burke Construction Team during the concurrent construction of Polo Towers III Build Out of Floors 18-21 and the Polo Towers Fitness Center.
Many times throughout the projects, the Owner commented that the construction work was quiet and the workers were courteous to the Owner's guests. This is a substantial accomplishment as Polo Towers is a fully functioning Timeshare Resort on the Las Vegas Strip.
The projects offered many challenges and the Borke Team met each with creativity and determination that led to the successful delivery of both projects. The level of commitment and collaboration exhibited by the Construction Team made it a pleasurable working experience.
Bergman Walls & Associates highly recommends Burke Construction Group and looks forward to working with their staff on future projects.

Alexander Library and Park
Dear Mr. Burke:
It has been a pleasure to work with Burke Construction Group during the construction of the Alexander Library and Park. Our newest library has been very well received by the community is being used extensively already.
I particularly wanted to recognize Floyd Lindbloom. He was always very pleasant and professional and responded quickly and efficiently to any of my concerns.
It was great to see you and your staff at the grand opening.
Best regards,

Seven Hills Behavioral Institute
Dear Mr. Burke:
I recently had the pleasure of working with Thad Lawrence and Rich Redlew on Seven Hills Behavioral Institute in Henderson, NV. As an owner’s representative on healthcare projects, I have had the opportunity to work with many different general contractors and without a doubt Thad and Rich are the best I have ever worked with. Thad was always available and many times it was early in the morning or late in the evening. His common sense approach to everything was very refreshing. I sincerely appreciated how proactive Thad was which avoided a lot of unnecessary frustration and expense. If a problem did arise, I knew that Thad would be contacting me not only with a solution but several well thought out solutions with an order of magnitude estimate for each. If the problem was a result of anyone under his responsibility, he quickly took responsibility and accountability and immediately took action towards solving the problem. Thad’s work ethic, honesty and integrity are a true asset to Burke Construction Group. Like Thad, Rich was a true pleasure to work with. Not being local to Las Vegas there were many times I needed information related to on-going work in the field and didn’t have the luxury of simply driving to the site. I knew by calling Rich, I would always get honest and accurate information. His level of knowledge in construction was simply impressive. If on the off chance I happen to ask Rich something he didn’t know, he would tell me he didn’t know but would find out. Within an hour, Rich would call me back with an answer. I really enjoyed seeing how professionally Rich would coordinate the various trades in field. The success of any project depends a lot on the work ethic, professionalism, knowledge and skill of the superintendent. Rich Redlew was a key to the success of this project.
The Seven Hills Behavioral Institute project was a success and I would like to thank Thad and Rich for making it the success it was. Unfortunately, I didn’t have much of an opportunity to work much with Scott Bonebrake. Even in my limited time with Scott, I could tell that he had the same customer service attitude and strong work ethic that Thad and Rich displayed the entire project. I hope to have the opportunity to work with Burke Construction Group again in the future. I will highly recommend Burke to any Boyken employee or client in Nevada.
Sincerely,
Joe Wheeler

Dear Kevin:
I have been remiss in writing this letter. It should have been written months ago. I want to express my gratitude to your and your staff for the professionalism and courtesy afforded me during the construction of our new State-of-the-Art Manufacturing Facility here in Vegas.
This project was faced with many obstacles from the beginning, the largest of which was the extremely aggressive build schedule, yet your team managed to accomplish the task at hand. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding. Your on-site superintendent has to be one of the most dedicated individuals I have ever met. Between your site super and your project managers all of the less than normal last minute changes were handled smoothly and flawlessly.
I also want to commend your staff for their continual follow-up and dedication to the project even after completion. To date, they still assist whenever the need arises.
Thanks again for building us a facility we will continue to enjoy and be proud of. I look forward to working with you and your staff on our next project.
Sincerely,
Brad Kennedy

Dear Mr. Burke:
I wanted to take this moment to let you know what a great job you and your entire team has done for our company. When you, Ron Hall and I met approximately one year ago to discuss a contract to construct the above mentioned site, there was never any question about your commitment to complete our project on time and under budget.
I have been in construction for many years as you well know. Not only was I impressed with your professionalism and enthusiasm to our project, I was as equally impressed with your field operation and office staff. I have never been involved with a General Contractor who took their job seriously and provided such good service to an owner such as Burke Construction Group.
Finally, I have been working with general contractors for over 33 years and have never had the opportunity to work with such a fine superintendent as Mr. Ray Gabbard. Ray’s ability to be proactive and recognize troubled areas before they become an issue has been missing in our business for a very long time. My career for over 31 years with the City of Henderson and working with hundreds of foremen and superintendents will never come close to the work of Mr. Ray Gabbard.
In closing, Mr. Ron Hall and I have certainly enjoyed our working relationship with you and your entire staff. We hope to work with Burke Construction Group again and wish you a successful year of 2007.
Sincerely,
John Simmons

To Whom It May Concern:
It is with great satisfaction that I present this letter of recommendation for the work performed by Burke Construction Group on the Basic and Water Phase II development. Our experience with Burke was very rewarding. Our time schedule was very compressed and we required a capable, problem-solving contractor to accomplish our goal of having the building complete eight months after ground breaking. Not only was our schedule met; but we also were provided a building constructed under-budget.
The staff at Burke Construction Group was very approachable and remained abreast of project critical issues to prevent any work stoppages or delays. Their competency and collaborative nature was a key factor in the success of this project. We look forward to our next opportunity to team with this wonderful team.
Sincerely,

We will always hold Burke Construction Group at the top of our list for any future projects with Southern Highlands Preparatory School.

Challenger School & Challenger School Northwest
Dear Kevin:
This letter is written as a sincere expression of appreciation on the work you have completed for us at two campus locations- 9900 Shilon Lane and 1725 East Serene- both in Las Vegas. These two projects held some unique challenges, including very short deadlines, street improvements, drainage and grading issues, cantankerous architects, and extremely tight budgets. We also had to overcome unusual City and County entitlements and demands in developing areas. But in every case, your team of John, Bruce, and Walt (among others, I'm sure ) rose to the occasion to successfully overcome those obstacles.
Thanks to your Company, we now have two beautiful schools in Las Vegas that are, frankly, the two most attractive and efficient schools in our entire network. In fact, we anticipate adding another extension to one of these locations within 18 months.
it was our pleasure working with you. Thank you again, and please pass this thanks along to those behind the scenes as well.
Sincerely,
Clay M. Stringham

Dear Kevin:
I would like to offer my sincere thanks for the great job your company did building the Wildfire Casino. Your staff is to be congratulated for completing the project on time under difficult circumstances.
As you know we encountered many unanticipated obstacles during construction, but your team did a tremendous job of keeping us on schedule. There is no doubt in my mind that any other contractor could not have accomplished what you did to keep the project moving forward and on budget.
I highly recommend your company and personnel and will definitely use Burke Construction Group when we expand.

Clyde C. Cox Elementary School
Dear Mr. Burke:
I am writing to express how pleased I am with the construction of our new addition at Clyde C. Cox Elementary School. Your field superintendent for this project made the experience very positive. He informed us in advance when any work would interfere with anything to do with the school. He kept us up to date and was pleasant and helpful when we had questions. The entire experience was smooth and relatively unobtrusive to the regular events of the school day.

Dear Mr. Burke:
I am pleased to acknowledge the dedication and professionalism of your construction team during the construction of our retail center. Burke Construction Group was selected as the general contractor for Silverado Ranch Plaza based upon your contract price, professionalism, and knowledge of the proposed project. I am very pleased that your delivery was timely and within our original budget.

Dear Mr. Burke:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your organization for successfully completing the Clark County School District Vocational Technical Center Remodel project. Each project has its own unique challenges and this one was no different. Renovating 266,000 S.F. of an old and antiquated school is a daunting task especially when the project is multi-phased so as not to interfere with the school's classroom schedule. Your staff took this challenge head-on with a positive team oriented approach whereby you were able to complete the project approximately 1 1/2 months ahead of schedule.
Sincerely,
Joe DeMarco

The Cliffs at Peace Canyon
Dear Mr. Burke,
It is a pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Burke Construction Group, Inc. regarding THE CLIFFS @ Peace Canyon. Residents have been living in the apartment homes for a few months and the lease-up successes follow those we experienced during the construction phase with your firm.
It was made clear from the start that we wanted to stay within budget, limit the change orders and build a quality multifamily project. The diligent and fair efforts by your staff to bring us in within budget are much appreciated and a rare occurrence in this industry.
The construction schedules were aggressive, the project well documented and we appreciate the team effort in bringing our vision to fruition within the time frames originally agreed upon.
The administrative and field personnel were well organized and capable as demonstrated from the bidding process through project close-out. The mountains of paperwork were’ handled deftly by your accounting department and in a timely, accurate manner. The field staff was able to create an environment on-site that was comfortable yet challenging, and demanding of good quality craftsmanship.
We undertook the development of our first multi-family community with a General Contractor that we hoped would share our desire to build a relationship based on mutual performance, professionalism and integrity that could grow with us. In Burke Construction Group, we believe we have found a construction partner with whom we can work closely from scribbling designs on napkins to once again issuing Certificates of Occupancy.
We worked smart and hard and had some fun along the way. Thank you and your staff for the professional service, support and patience perpetually extended to us throughout the past eighteen months.
Sincerely,
Andy Flaherty
Augusta Farms
Dear Mr. Burke,
I would like to congratulate you and sincerely thank you for the successful completion of Augusta Farms. It has turned out exactly as I had imagined and I am very grateful.
As you know this was a particularly specialized project, involving not only my custom home, but also, a beautiful custom stables for my, competition horses. Your management team, headed by Bruce Bird, not only paid implicit attention to every detail of ray project, but were able to complete it under proposed budget and in an unbelievably expeditious time frame. The quality of the workmanship is excellent and I am proud to be the owner and resident of THE premiere equestrian estate in possibly all of Nevada.
I would be pleased and honored to recommend your company to anyone who is interested in an exceptional construction company, who will make every effort towards time and cost management without sacrificing quality of workmanship and attention to customer needs.
Sincerely yours,
Peg Arnone
