When working with referendum dollars we take extreme care to ensure that we’re getting as much value as possible out of your budget. The success and longevity of your project are always our number one priority when working with public dollars. We have worked on numerous referendum projects over our years in service and love having the opportunity to work directly with and for our clients in this way. While working with your team on the referendum we will participate in conceptual design processes, provide accurate cost estimates and create construction schedules that you can share with your community members to keep them informed.
