"C. Overaa & Co. was easy to work with and made a great partner in building our first public parking structure and restoring a historic Art Deco movie palace in our downtown. We appreciated Overaa's fairness and team-spirit in tackling the challenges we faced throughout the construction process. Overaa approached its contract with the City with an eye towards building a long-term relationship, and as a result, the City would be happy to work with them again."

""On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Claremont Country Club, I wish to thank you personally, and everyone at Overaa for your outstanding performance on our recent project. This was a large, complicated and high risk project for us, and we could not be happier with the results. Your constant creativity, tenacity and professionalism raised the standard of performance of the entire design and construction team. You were able to bring our project in on time and under budget in the face of permit and weather delays,... and the vagaries of a 1927 stucture. Bravo!""

"On behalf of the City of Orinda, I want to thank you and your staff both for your outstanding effort and for your craftsmanship in completing the new Orinda Library. In the care that your firm took in building this project, it is clear that you take exceptional pride and ownership in the quality of your work.

...I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with your project manager and construction superintendent. These two individuals were outstanding. They both exhibited patience and sensitivity in working with the City and representatives with the Friends of the Orinda Library, and maintained an excellent working relationship with the architect, City staff, and the City's construction manager. This relationship was always collegial, always solution-oriented, and always focused on achieving a quality end product that met time and budget constraints. Their efforts to manage the construction activity to ensure the successful grand opening of the building on the target date were truly heroic. I quite simply enjoyed working with them."

"On behalf of the Chabot Observatory Board of Directors, members, and staff, I want to thank you for the exemplary efforts you put forward in completing our design-built parking garage. The many challenges experienced during this project, dealing with 2 different counties and a park district, being one of the wettest winters on record, and having another contractor onsite completing the new science center, made the project especially difficult.

That is why your acceleration of the schedule and the early opening of the garage was so greatly appreciated. The handling of the daily delays without us having to hold your hands freed us up to coordinate the Observatory's completion. Without your efforts, we are convinced that the Observatory's grand opening would have been delayed by 2 months or more.

The parking garage is just what we envisioned. Nestled within a large grove of redwoods and set into the side of a hill, you have created an environmentally friendly garage. We had to put a sign on the garage so that visitors would know that it is a parking garage. The design team knew the right questions to ask and how to transfer their ideas to paper."

"On behalf of the City of Union City and myself I would like to express our appreciation for a project well done. In my eighteen years of working for the City of Union City we have never had a project that went so well. The attitude of cooperation, trust and working together to make this project work was to the benefit of us all.

The Public Works Maintenance Facility was a 5.5 million dollar project that was plagued with design flaws from the beginning. But because of the attitude of working together the project still came in on budget and ahead of the City's schedule."

Philip Sachs
Superintendent of Public Works
