What Our Customers Are Saying
Fort Gibson National Cemetery Construct Columbarium
Thanks again for you and your teams’ work on this final phase of the project and we look forward to working together on future construction projects. NCA is grateful for RKE’s attention to detail, and quality of work on our National Shrine and honoring our Veterans.
STL JB VAMC
The contractor, RKE, managed the project with experienced personnel that communicated VA COR, their suppliers, and their subcontractors to provide a quality project without errors, re-work, misunderstandings, and interruptions to the adjacent medical center operations. In particular, the contractor, has previous cemetery expansion experience and used that experience to improve the construction process and avoid any errors.
RKE properly staffs the project with knowledgeable and motivated onsite field personnel and off-site project management personnel align the documentation with their suppliers and construction forces. This contractor can self-perform work as needed as well as manage multiple specialty subcontractors and suppliers through each phase of construction. In addition, RKE has great communication and coordination skills which are key in both a fast-moving construction site that closed to the public and coordinating phased work on or adjacent to an active VA medical center that is open to the public, where public access must be safely maintained during the entire construction project duration. I highly recommend RKE for your next project
