From State of Washington Department of Health (regarding multiple projects):

  • √   "Kent has consistently demonstrated exceptional technical knowledge and acuity coupled with a remarkably well-honed ability to work effectively and efficiently with design engineers, contractors and owner's representatives. He has also demonstrated considerable flexibility in employing a diverse range of approaches to the commissioning effort, tailoring the commissioning process to meet the specific needs of the project."
  • √   "Kent is exceptionally capable in pinpointing potential performance problems early in the design process, as well as the final implementation phase, and works effectively in with both design engineers and contractors to correct the problems before they are created."
  • √   "In addition to traditional commissioning engineering services we have also found Kent to be highly valuable in performing peer review during design and serving as a technical advisor to the owner throughout the design and construction process."

From GSA:

  • √   " . . . completely committed to doing what's best for the project and work very effectively with the subcontractors, design consultants, and owner's representative."
  • √   "I would highly recommend this team for any complex project."

From a design engineering firm (based on multiple projects):

  • √   "In both cases, our experience has been and continues to be very positive. I think the greatest benefit to both projects was early involvement by Kent in the design process.   . . . The Best suggestion I can make is to have Ken on board at the beginning of Design Development so that you can make the most of the commissioning process."
  • √   "This project was a huge success . . ."
