Why Story
Why hire Story Construction?
We believe our customers say it best . . .
" All the planning and communication set the groundwork for a relatively stress-free building
process from our point of view. Story’s onsite manager kept us involved and informed. However, they
did not burden us. They kept us focused on the key decisions that had to be made, while handling all
the details and problems that came out of those decisions."

"Our experience with Story Construction Co. has been an excellent experience! Bettendorf
Christian Church appreciates their faithful and timely help in building a very useable
building that has inspired our congregation. We also developed close friendships
with their fine people."

 "Story's design team worked with us from the concept
stage. Together we identified our needs and refined a building design. We continued
developing design details as we started construction. These achievements were made
possible by a design-build process that effectively replaced barriers between the
building owner, contractor and subcontractors with trust and honesty. Although we
have used Story Construction Co.'s services on six previous projects, the success
of this project makes it very likely that we will use the design-build approach
again in the future."

 "Our experience with Story Construction Management has been
nothing short of remarkable. From the inception of the project through construction
and project close-out, their attention to detail and assistance to the project team
has been most commendable. Due to my experience with Story Construction Management,
I have a new-found understanding of the role that construction managers can play
in the industry."

 "Thank you so much for all your
help and hard work with the new Ames Racquet and Fitness Center facility in Somerset.
All of the employees were very pleasant to work with, and your company did a great
job of completing the project in a professional manner. I'm truly satisfied with
your work and hope to work with Story Construction again in the future."

 "Story and the entire team worked very hard on the planning required to minimize
the disruption for our residents. We were very concerned that this project could
be a public relations and administrative nightmare for our entire group of stakeholders
(board of directors, staff and residents). On the contrary, the extra attention
paid to the details by Story's project superintendent made all the difference.
Our residents actually enjoyed the activity and the courtesy and care displayed
by the construction team."

received from Story Construction as our construction manager, we have made significant
progress toward meeting several of our goals: cost containment under $1.4 million,
creating a new media center, and getting the construction completed by January 2004.
Thanks again for all your professional leadership to Norwalk Schools."

"It's been a real privilege to work with a company so sensitive to Building God's Way. They've been a wonderful partner, with a very positive attitude toward
our involvement. I would highly recommend, Story, both from a professional skill
level and sensitivity to the Christian mission."

"The congregation and I would like to thank you for the great job you did on
the addition to our church. We are very pleased with the final product and in many
ways it has surpassed are expectations. With Story doing the design and engineering
in house, it saved us thousands of dollars in exploring building options. It was
important for us to use a contractor that could be trusted to provide a good quality
job without overruns on cost. Story Construction has a reputation of doing just
that. Thank you for providing us with quality and value."

"Story's design team worked with us from the concept stage. We approached
problems with the attitude that 'none of us is as smart as all of us.' Although
we have used Story's services on three previous projects, the success of our first
design-build project makes it very likely that we will use the design-build approach
in the future."
