"The job was certainly a success and Overaa's performance was outstanding. The project was built on a very tight site which made for a difficult build out. And complicating the work, there were important relationships that had to be maintained with the city, and with the other contractor immediately adjacent to the site, in order for this job to be successful. You...did a wonderful job of keeping progress going in spite of all the difficult challenges thrown your way. I grew to appreciate Overaa's management model, your thoughtful work ethic, and the careful and professional manner in which each member of Overaa's team carried out their responsibilities. And as further acknowledgement to your success, I have heard from both Kaiser members, and employees, of how happy they are to be in this new facility. You have done a great job. Thanks!"

"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."

"I wish to thank...everyone at Overaa for your outstanding performance on our recent project. This was a large, complicated and high risk project...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 project team, I want to express our great appreciation for the work accomplished by Overaa and your sub-contractors on the City Hall building, which houses the City's administrative offices, including the Mayor and City Manager, at the newly renovated Civic Center. The reviews are in and very positive from all quarters. The building looks phenomenal inside and out, and is performing as designed.

When one considers the complexity of this project: seismic and water intrusion issues; historical issues; LEED certification; and a very demanding and picky owner, Overaa and the whole project team can be very proud of what has been accomplished – on time and on budget. I especially want to thank you and your team for the outstanding collaboration and coordination with other contractors and various City departments and vendors involved in the project. You and your staff proved to be creative problem solvers, which was essential to the success in this major retrofit and renovation project."

"I would like to thank the Overaa Construction team for their efforts to return level 3 of the 3B garage to service by Thanksgiving. Construction of a major addition to an existing garage, while the garage is in use presents significant challenges. Add to the mix, the garage's location of the project at the mixed use development with the popularity of Santana Row and you have the 3B Project. The schedule for return of level 3 was an aggressive one and one that has been met today by the Overaa team. We are very pleased...thanks again."

"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."

"As I tell people, I have had the lucky opportunity to work with a lot of good contractors over the years but Overaa is a head and shoulder above all others I have worked with."

"Our selection of Overaa Construction for this project was heavily influenced by the long-standing reputation of your firm. This fine reputation has been upheld and enhanced by the diligent work of your two key staff persons assigned to this job."

"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. Because of the attitude of working together the project came in on budget and ahead of the City's schedule."
