The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife facility was a true "fast track" project. The completion schedule was extremely tight and included the added difficulty of working through winter conditions. Your ability to schedule sub-contractors, adjust for changing design conditions, provide "out-of-sequence" work, and manage a large contingent of sub-contracts that needed to be in process all at the same time was exemplary. Speed is one thing. Quality is another. Not only did White Oak complete the project on time, but the quality of the work and finishes is first class. Your commitment to materials and finishes that provide quality appearance, low maintenance, and life-cycle value clearly shows today in the finished building and will continue to do so throughout the years. I was impressed by your ability to communicate... through your cooperative spirit, leadership, understanding of the issues, and "hands on" approach. The ODFW project also included a "sustainability" and green architecture component that came late in the project program. White Oak Development... took an active role in evaluating and incorporating those components. Both Lee and I would highly recommend White Oak Development to prospective clients. -- Lonny Deffenbaugh, President, Deffenbaugh & Associates, PC
