5-30-14 Recommendation Letter for Doug Sluiter


“In addition to the construction expertise he brought to each of the projects he became our representative with the respective cities associated with the projects.”


“Doug’s love for God and commitment to further His Kingdom work is evident in the way he leads each project, interacts with “subs” on the project, as well as represents our interests as the project owner.”


“I highly recommend him to you for consideration as a member of your team. I know you will be pleased with the result of what will be produced just as we are with each of our projects!”


“Doug is what we like to see in an Owners Rep role. He is tough, but fair. He never tries to take advantage of the architect or contractor, but yet he knows what is possible Beck Letterfrom each, and he insists on getting what the Owner deserves.”


“Most important to me, though, is that I know I can trust Doug. I may not always like his decisions, but I know his integrity, and I know he never does anything to me to be punitive or to take advantage. And I know this integrity extends to his Owners just as much. If Doug tells you something, you can take it to the bank. It has or will happen exactly as he tells you.”
