Kurt Boos, Owner
Great Clips
"I had concerns that the scope of this project may be too small and I wouldn't receive the attention I would expect. I am pleased to say that The Redmond Company exceeded my expectations."

Marcia Sperber, Director of Real Estate
Aldi's
"The Redmond Company continuously worked in Aldi's best interest. They were professional in their dealings, and they got the job done right."

Mike Pranke
Roaring Fork Development
"We like Redmond because they simplify the development process. We're confident they'll get the job done so that we can move onto the next deal."

Abe Katz A&R Katz Management, Inc.
“The Redmond Company has just completed the last of many projects they have done for us. This was an extremely complicated project involving new construction, tenant relocations, demolition, and site work on an operating shopping center. Their performance, as usual, was exceptional. Their knowledge and professionalism saved hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the project was brought in ahead of schedule. My next project will have Redmond’s name on it.”

Mike Pranke Roaring Fork Development
“We are always impressed with The Redmond Company. They are experts at designing facilities, working with city planning departments, and finding unique solutions to difficult site scenarios. The success of our projects is due to The Redmond Company’s vast experience in addition to their focus on meeting our project goals. We have worked with them to build multiple facilities, and look forward to working with them again on our future design/build and renovation projects.”

Lee Guenther, Owner, Trig’s County Market
"The Redmond Company’s operational procedures impressed me. Their ability to lead the project and their communications with our Store Manager was exceptional. Redmond was sensitive to and thoroughly understood the importance of minimizing any inconvenience to our customers. Their grocery/retail experience was also evident in how they kept traffic flowing smoothly into and out of our grocery store. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a design/build partner."

Trygve (Trig) Solberg, Owner, T.A. Solberg Company, Inc.
"I hired The Redmond Company based upon the creative conceptual design they presented. I’m even more pleased with the finished results. They did an outstanding job of understanding my vision for the project while incorporating their expertise in grocery store aesthetics. This refacade project exceeded our expectations."

Mike Pranke, Pranke Holding, LLC
"We were considering buying a building to house our company. It was priced attractively and in a good location. Because it was older than we would have preferred, we felt it necessary to identify all issues and costs relevant to our company moving in. We contacted The Redmond Company to do a complete building analysis. Their condition report opened our eyes as to what the total cost would be to renovate and prepare the facility for our use. Had we not contracted with Redmond, we may have bought the building and made a poor and very costly business decision."

George Arvanitis, Managing Broker, A.G.Commercial, LLC.
"I found The Redmond Company to be very professional and knowledgeable in the field of design/build construction, but more importantly, I found the people of Redmond to be of high integrity and honesty and they will be my first choice on any future developments."

Steven R. Gartman, President The Albion Group, Inc.
“Having worked with The Redmond Company for many years, I can attest to their professionalism and efficiency working on grocery store projects. The synergy between our two firms has resulted in the Redmond Team’s success in exceeding grocery client expectations. Redmond’s Field Superintendents are sensitive to reducing any inconvenience, inside or outside the stores, and therefore, have gained respect from store owners and managers. Their interpretation of architectural drawings in the field has made each construction project move smoothly and without delays.”

financial

Tony McLain, President
The Gifford State Bank
"We've interviewed and worked with other firms, but hands down, The Redmond Company is the best Design/Build firm. I was really impressed by the wide range of services and overall financial knowledge they provided me. From consulting services and retailing concepts to their commitment to my schedule and budget, they really came through for me. I highly recommend The Redmond Company for any financial project, in fact I was so impressed that I have hired them again to complete my next bank project."

Ted Parsons, President/CEO
Omni Community Credit Union
"Redmond really listened to our needs. They made initial recommendations based on their experience and then made adjustments throughout the project based on our feedback. We partnered with them the entire way. The project was delivered on time and on budget. We would definitely recommend them for anyone considering a new branch."

Karen Murphy, Senior VP of Retail Banking
PyraMax Bank
"The results are extraordinary! The Redmond Company uses a partnership approach during the entire process of building a facility. The new branch is earning rave reviews from clients, employees, and the Bank's Board of Directors."

Gail Ellis, President
Fox River State Bank
"We were looking for a builder with extensive experience in the design and construction of financial institutions. We also needed a firm that had the resources to finish the job in a relatively short period of time. Redmond came through for us in both areas. We started construction in April and opened our doors in August. How many design/build firms would have been able to do that?"

Steve Schowalter, President/CEO
Port Washington State Bank
"This was the best design and construction project I've been a part of. I would wholeheartedly recommend Redmond to anyone looking for a design/build firm."

Kelly Foster, President
Johnson Bank
"Redmond has been a key partner in our growth because they know our business as well as they know construction."

Jeff Perra, CEO
Security State Bank of Pine Island
"Our challenge was to add an addition to our historic building, renovate it, and give it a face lift while maintaining the character and integrity of the original design. We hired Redmond as our design/builder and they stepped up to the challenge and exceeded our expectations. Any concerns about hiring an out of town firm to handle the project were quickly put to rest when Redmond worked with us to contract all the work locally and helped us maintain our valued relationships in the community. Redmond was a great choice for us and we look forward to working with them in the future."

Joseph Brezinski, President
Northwoods Community Credit Union
"The Redmond Company guided us through the entire process, from facility programming to selecting and purchasing the perfect site, to designing and building our Main Office. Redmond's understanding of and experience in the financial industry was clearly evident as they lead us through uncharted waters. I am very pleased and would highly recommend Redmond to anyone."

Nancy J. Schreiber, President
North Shore Gas Credit Union
"Redmond did a great job with our remodel. Their design team made our space much more functional and comfortable and the project managers took care of all of the details for us. I would definitely work with Redmond again."

Dominic Schmidt, President
1st Community Credit Union
"The Redmond web cam has been extremely beneficial. It allowed me to monitor the daily progress at the job site from any location, and allowed our staff, Board of Directors, and members to do the same. This is just one more example of Redmond's commitment to keeping their clients informed and involved."

Kim Youngblood, President
Federated Family Credit Union
"We were thrilled with Redmond's work on our project. They really understood our business and put our best interests first. I would work with Redmond again."

Carl Axness, President
Union Bank of Blair

Dave Ohman, CEO

"It was great working with the Redmond team on our Main Office remodel. They're good people who kept us informed of our project status. Our entire operation has been turned around and our staff and members are really happy."

Rick Janowski, Vice President of Facilities
PyraMax Bank
"We had questions about our presence in the Franklin market. Redmond's consulting staff assisted us in answering those, and their design and construction staff gave us a great new look that we'll use for our new branches."

Sally Kohlhoff, CEO
Family First Credit Union
"We love Redmond's webcam on our new branch project. Everyone on our staff uses it to keep up-to-date on the progress of construction."

"We hired The Redmond Company to see our project through site zoning and planning to the completion of the building of our new branch office and remodeling of our current office. We were kept informed of progress at all times and are very happy with the service and professionalism they have shown us. Their whole team is great and a real pleasure to do business with."

Dennis D. Degenhardt President/CEO
Glacier Hills Credit Union
"The results of Redmond's operation and facility master planning services along with their suggested retail sales program really set the direction for our credit union. Their expertise and knowledge of operations, staffing requirements, and master planning was clearly evident as they walked us through the strategic planning sessions. Marty Steinert and Jim Voelz from Redmond really took the time to review our business and were great to work with. I would highly recommend Redmond to others for any strategic planning needs."

Jeanne Hartwig, CEO
Concumer's Choice Credit Union
"I can't say enough about the professionalism of the entire staff at The Redmond Company. We were very satisfied with the results of Redmond's consulting services, the design staff spent countless hours with me on the design of the building, and the actual building portion of the project went very well."

Steve Schowalter, President & CEO Port Washington State Bank
“We selected The Redmond Company based on a great past experience we had with them on a ground-up facility. Everyone from the design team to the construction crews at Redmond was very sensitive to our needs on this renovation/addition and as a result, we had no interruption in business. Both the Bank and the community couldn’t be more proud of the finished facility. We would strongly recommend Redmond and their dedicated team of professionals for anyone’s construction needs.”

Tom Jensen, President - CEO 1st National Bank
“From the initial planning to completion, The Redmond Company exceeded our expectations. Their knowledge, experience and professionalism were clearly evident throughout the entire project. We couldn’t be more proud to have The Redmond Company as our strategic space planning partner.”

Brad Quade, President Johnson Bank
“We've used The Redmond Company for many branch developments and have found them to be a high-integrity firm, delivering a high-quality product. And while they are very experienced in building banking facilities, they have also demonstrated sensitivity to our unique needs - not assuming we want to mirror what others in our industry are doing. I would highly recommend them as a design/build partner.”

Sheila Burkhart, President Afena Federal Credit Union
“The Redmond Company brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to our project. From facility programming through construction, they provided top-quality service. We are very pleased with The Redmond Company and will be calling them when we are ready for our next branch.”

Tony McLain, President The Gifford State Bank
“From a banker’s standpoint, it was really impressive to be able to coordinate everything by making just one phone call. The efficiency of The Redmond Company’s single-source capabilities was fantastic. From consulting services to retailing concepts, the wide range of services and overall financial knowledge went beyond my expectations. Their repeat performance for us was outstanding. I would wholeheartedly recommend Redmond to anyone looking for a design/build firm.”

Karen Murphy, Senior Vice President Pyramax Bank
"Every month I travel out to each of the Bank's branches to meet with the Branch Executive Officer. I use the meeting to find out how things are going, gather client information and make sure that all is well. This morning I was at the Waukesha Office and as I was talking to the Branch Executive Officer, Kathy Macht, she relayed a story about Andy Young. I thought I would share it with you. Andy was in the branch this month getting change for an event taking place at Redmond. He noticed that we had a food barrel in the lobby for the Hunger Task Force. He also noticed that the barrel was empty. Kathy said he left and returned with two bags of groceries from Pick and Save to place in the barrel. He told her he did not want the barrel to be empty, since he knew that the barrel we had at the lobby of the Greenfield office was full. When I talk about the Bank's relationship with the Redmond Company, I make sure that everyone understands the difference between a "vendor" and a "partner". A vendor completes a task, does nothing more and waits to be paid. A partner looks at the entire relationship and works with me to make sure that all aspects of a shared project have been well thought out and addressed. I believe that The Redmond Company is our partner. Not only do Redmond employees I have an opportunity to work with do a great job on building projects we have but they also carry that concern to all their interactions with the Bank. Andy's caring gesture is just the most recent example of our partnership at work. And I wanted to let you know that I appreciate having The Redmond Company as a partner."

Base Ten Architects, Inc.
"On the same week a few months ago, three of my Walgreens stores broke ground. All three GC's were very Walgreens experienced. To their credit, Redmond's store is the only one that beat the freeze, has a slab, and is well ahead of the others. I compliment the entire team at Redmond along with their subcontractors on a job well done. I truly am impressed."

Ron Pollastrini Bonnie Management
“We were extremely impressed with The Redmond Company’s ability to lead us through the pre-construction process; from budgeting and scheduling to coordinating all of the bidding. Redmond's experience in retail construction paid dividends by delivering a quality project, on-time, and within budget; and by allowing for a smooth transition upon turnover to our tenant. I found everyone in the organization from the top on down to be knowledgeable, courteous, and responsive to our needs. I look forward to working with The Redmond Company on future projects.”

Dale Dobroth, President Sidcor Real Estate
“I wanted to express my genuine satisfaction with The Redmond Company’s recent construction of our Walgreens development. This job was completed earlier than anticipated with virtually no construction issues, which was a major accomplishment given the complexity of the project. From day one, Redmond brought valuable “value-engineering” concepts that were vast improvements over what we had contemplated and what others had suggested. The Redmond team kept us updated daily with accurate progress information and expert advice as would be expected of a first- class construction management team. I think that it would be most beneficial for a developer to consider using The Redmond Company’s construction services early on in the design phase.”

Brian Cummings, President MRED-Cummings
“I have used The Redmond Company for all my construction needs for many years. They have been an important member of my team. They understand how critical cost, schedule and quality are to a successful Walgreens project. Their in-depth knowledge of Walgreens stores and their real estate process has been instrumental in our successful completion of many Walgreens developments.”

George Arvanitis, Managing Broker, A.G.Commercial, LLC.
"I found The Redmond Company to be very professional and knowledgeable in the field of design/build construction, but more importantly, I found the people of Redmond to be of high integrity and honesty and they will be my first choice on any future developments."

Mayor Tom Taylor City of Franklin, Wisconsin
"The people of Franklin have waited many years for a new, quality hotel in which to house their friends, family and business associates. The community is excited about the arrival of the Staybridge Suites hotel in Franklin. The Redmond Company has been extremely responsive in working with the City of Franklin and other governing authorities. We applaud their success in overcoming the project challenges associated with site access, natural wetlands, floodplain, on-site detention and the requirements of the 27th street corridor overlay to the masterplan. The Redmond Company has done an excellent job of coordinating the construction efforts associated with this project and we look forward to working with them in our community on future projects."

Jim Cummings, Senior VP DSI
“We’ve hired The Redmond Company for several of our dialysis clinic projects. In each case, the project was assigned a courteous and professional project manager, the work was completed on time and on budget, and the quality was outstanding. I would recommend Redmond without reservation.”

Shannon Perl Graphic Packaging International, Inc. (Formerly Smurfit Stone)
“Due to the fact that we were a food and pharmaceutical packaging company, it was extremely important that our products did not become contaminated during the expansion and internal remodeling of our facilities. The Redmond Company went to great lengths to insure that their developments did not interfere with our processes, nor contaminate our finished products.”

Jim Bradach Graphic Packaging International, Inc. (Formerly Smurfit Stone)
“In my opinion, for me personally, not having any experience venturing into an expansion of this magnitude, I found The Redmond Company to be very easy to work with and they stuck to their timelines, despite numerous changes along the way. They made it happen and our plant “shows” very well for a packaging facility. I’m extremely pleased.”

Mike Cohen, Partner Staybridge Suites Hotel Development
“Without hesitation, I can say that I could not have asked for a better team to work with. The Redmond Company’s Project Manager was incredibly well organized and his attention to detail was superior. I’ve worked on numerous hotel development projects and I firmly believe that Redmond’s Job Superintendent is one of the most meticulous and hands-on field person that I have worked with; his work ethic, his drive to successfully deliver the project and his understanding of the complexities of this particular development have been outstanding.”
