" . . . Mortenson provided the leadership role during the comprehensive estimating and value engineering efforts utilizing a process which, in my opinion, is unequalled in the industry. Their cost estimating process has proven to be very accurate.  As a result, we were able to attain a very low cost per square foot, while still achieving and/or exceeding all the goals that we established for the project. When benchmarked against other similar projects on a national basis, we found that on a square footage basis, our costs are 10% less than other similar corporate headquarters' projects."

"My experience with Mortenson was an excellent one.  Bottom line is that they delivered a quality product under budget and met the timelines that they laid out.  As important as these factors was the fact that every individual I dealt with at Mortenson seemed to be committed to doing the job right. I believed, from both what they said and what they did, that there is a strong corporate culture to build a quality product in a safe manner..."
