TESTIMONIALS

…Westport Corporation has an experienced management team with a tremendous knowledge base and is able to meet difficult schedules. In my opinion, though, the most important quality that the Westport Corporation brings to a project is integrity. I have consistently found that I can depend on Westport to provide honest and accurate information and pricing. To ensure that they are providing the most accurate and complete proposals, they obtain all needed clarifications during the drawing review and bid phase identify items that may be missing or incorrect on the drawings and often will recommend better and more cost effective ways to build. Finally, their team has worked well with our team of architects and engineers to provide a high quality, finished product.

I dealt with contractors in the past, and was fully prepared for a ‘nightmare project’, which, I did encounter, from almost every contractor (outside of Westport)…A lot of contractors could learn from Westport but, unfortunately don’t seem to care about the client — just the money — and that is what sets Westport out in front. We all know that money is the bottom line, but it didn’t ‘feel’ that way in this case…I’ve not experienced such a ‘polite, friendly and professional’ staff when dealing with a general contractor until now. Conducting this type of business will only insure Westport’s success for years into the future. As far as I’m concerned, there is not other General Contractor worth calling.

…I am continually impressed by the professionalism and commitment to details and complete customer satisfaction exhibited by the entire staff at Westport Corporation…The key to your success is that all the Westport people I have worked with, including those on the site, the supervisors, the mill shop and the administrative office, realize that to excel in business they must provide both an excellent product and outstanding customer service…It is a pleasure and an honor to work with such a fine organization.
     — Chase Manhattan

As you are well aware, this was a high profile project within Verizon with extremely aggressive timelines taking place over two major holidays. The successful on time completion of this undertaking helped us establish a state–of–the–art international operations center that employees can feel good working in and in which our customer can feel a great degree of comfort that their network is being monitored at the highest professional level…everyone on your staff went out of their way to help us meet key deadlines and successfully launch the Network Operations Center for Verizon Global Networks Inc.

Having been in the construction industry for more than 30 years, I have been exposed to literally thousands of contractors. Without reservation, I heartily recommend Westport Corporation as the single best General Contractor with which I have ever worked.
     — BB&T

The greatest strength you and your staff have shown is flexibility. As disputes arose, there was never finger pointing or defensiveness; you always provided and objective review of the obstacle and proposed practical solutions for my review. This was reassuring in times of miswritten or misread documents, delayed materials or inconsistent specifications. Your firm stands out as the one I could call for help even in areas specifically not in the scope of your contract.
     — Airbus

Your Conscientiousness, perseverance and hard work have produced impressive results and have helped bring our construction process to a new level.
     — Citibank

It was a textbook case of demonstrating to a client that adhering to stringent work standards and a commitment to achieving 100 percent customer satisfaction will earn a company very high marks. Your employees have made your company’s goals a reality and once again prove that commitment, hard work, and quality never go out of style.
     — TASC

I wanted to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the work that you and your company have performed on behalf of Wachovia in my region. Working with Don Moore and his staff is one of the most pleasant opportunities I have had in my professional career. From the administrative professionals to the senior management of the company, I have experienced nothing but positive experiences and always walk away from every meeting or conversation fully satisfied beyond my original expectations.
     — Wachovia

We are very proud of our new headquarters and believe your company was a key team member in making our plan a reality. We had a very aggressive schedule to meet and Westport’s project management skills enabled us to move—in six weeks ahead of schedule while keeping the project budget on target. Recognizing that our requirements were technically complex and the level of finish quality high, the end product pleasantly exceeded our expectations. Westport Corporation was integral to achieving this result.
     — Cysive

I just wanted to take a moment to send you a thank you letter now that our project is faster moving towards its completion. Westport Corporation and its Senior Project Manager, Mark Mullaney, has succeeded in providing us with a complex 155,00 square feet headquarters facility on six floors of a six-story building. The project was completed on time and under budget. The facility which includes substantial state of the art, computer and telephone rooms is just magnificent…It is hard to imagine a company I could recommend in a higher, more unqualified manner.
     — MicroStrategy

Please use this letter as my recommendation of the top quality work Westport Corporation has provided First Union over the past nine years. In 1997, they were selected as First Union’s ‘Construction and Genera Contractor Supplier of the Year’. they have very reasonably completed almost $40 million worth of work for us…I highly recommend them to build your new Performing Arts Center. You will receive top quality performance, with on time delivery.
     — First Union Corporation

First, your pricing on the project was attractive and your thoroughness with the scope eliminated any of the dreaded ‘gray’ areas. Secondly, the professionalism that you held yourselves and subcontractors to regarding timeliness, cleanliness and attention to detail on our previous renovation gave us confidence in your continued ability to do so…Our decision to use Westport Corporation again was a wise one. The renovation was completed on time and within the budget. Also, you were willing to work with us on scheduling so that our guests were not inconvenienced and we didn’t have to displace any business.
     — Hyatt Hotels & Resorts

When I recommend Westport Corporation to my clients, I do so with the full confidence of knowing that they will be provided with state of the art service, accurate and detailed pricing, realistic scheduling and most of all, the many years of construction experience you have to offer. In particular, I have found Westport’s full range of services and in–house trades, including your state of the art millwork shop, allow for better control of quality and scheduling…Your team approach and support of our design profession is a great attribute in the success of these projects.
     — Rodney James Shirley & Associates

I cannot help but feel that I have no reservations recommending you as I have to any company who wishes great customer service along with good project management and tight cost controls. Since our first project in 1997 with Boeing I have learned by association with your company what I should come to expect from any company in our employ and have accepted nothing less. Again thank you for all your years of great customer service and helping to make all my projects successful.

Working closely with Westport and their experienced staff has been nothing short of pleasure considering the time–frame and budget assigned to this task. I would recommend Westport Corporation to anyone in need of a contractor large enough to handle about any task, but still small enough to give you their personal service.
     — Marconi System Technologies

Not only was the project completed on time and within budget; but the associates at this banking center came to recognize the entire Westport crew as an extension of their own team: responsive to their needs, highly aware of the need to maintain the integrity of their work environment, and sensitive to the bank’s customers. Projects of this scope are really easy; but it takes a specials crew to execute them with the minimal level of disruption.
     — Trammell Crow Company

In an industry where the rancor is often deafening, I can’t tell you what a relief it has been to be able to work with people whose product is consistently excellent and more importantly whose work ethic, civility, and good humor make the process enjoyable.
     — Blackburn Architects, P.C.

On behalf of the Mid–Atlantic Engineering Region, I want to thank you and your staff for outstanding support this past year. The quality of work and timely response singled out Westport Corporation as our ‘Most Valuable Contractor’ for the Washington area.
     — Lord & Taylor

As I walk through OSC’s newly completed corporate headquarters and reflect back on the challenges presented to Westport Corporation in early January, ’93, it is impossible to conceive that the outcome could have been achieved in a more professional, courteous and expeditious manner.
     — Orbital Sciences Corporation

As you are aware, the schedule was very tight and a slip in the completion schedule would have been very costly for Financial Dynamics. The weather did not cooperate, there were several change orders, subcontractors over which we had no direct control, etc…Financial Dynamics is very pleased with your performance and their new space…I currently have another general contractor doing tenant work in the building and the quality and professionalism doesn t come close to Westport.
     — Space Center Tysons, Inc.

Your firm’s commitment to the day to day construction needs and various functions, coupled with his level of energy and dedication earned our respect and convinced the entire team we needed to look no further for full complete service…Managing a large project with high technical criteria can be difficult at times…Westport Corporation performed always in a calm professional manner, presented proactive solutions and demonstrated unselfish creative alternatives or options for the betterment of the Team and Project.
     — J.A. Jones

Over the past two years, Westport Corporation has completed several projects for us in which have not only met our expectations but have exceeded them. Each job, either big or small, has been completed in a neat and timely manner with little to nor problems. Our tenant satisfaction level has been met beyond our expectations.
     — HBE Properties

Our office has had no renovations since 1971 and we were not exactly sure what to expect during this time when the construction would be taking place and our office would remain open full service to our customers. We were planning for major problems and thanks to the concern and care shown by your company and it’s employees we had no problems at all. I have received many compliments on not only the finished product but also on your employees and the approach they took with both the staff and customers.
     — First Union

A day does not go by when a patient comments on the superior quality of the work Westport did in our office space.
     — Daniel O. Carson, D.D.S., P.C.

On behalf of the TASC Construction Department, I want to express our appreciation for your firm s outstanding level of service and responsiveness in meeting our company s renovation requirements. All of your personnel were a very cooperative, meticulous, hard working crew, providing the highest level of energy and enthusiasm that collectively led to an outstanding performance by everyone associated with Westport Corporation.
