They provided and demanded quality construction, exceeded the owner’s requirements and did everything they could to please the owner as well as the architect. Your willingness to work as a team puts you above your competitors. If I could use Joe Funk Construction on all of my projects I would.”
Monte Zajicek, Principal
First Unitarian Church of Dallas
“The First Unitarian Church of Dallas was very fortunate to have Joe Funk Construction Engineers as the Construction Manager of our $8 million expansion and renovation project. Early in the project your estimating skills……enabled us to phase our project and avoid costly mistakes. Once construction began……the excellent supervision of subcontractors kept the project safe and on schedule. The difficulties of working in an upscale residential neighborhood in University Park required the constant supervision and attention to detail managed so professionally by your company.”
Rich Bernacki, Owner’s Representative
Texas Woman’s University

Working with Joe Funk Construction
Engineers in renovating our printing facility was a very positive
experience. While the project was small in scale, it required
a lot of little things that had to be done exceptionally well.
Some of the work was very complex and specialized to our needs
including laying the proper foundation to install an extended
printing press line. Much of the renovation work occurred in and
around existing operational space. They took special care in addressing
our needs throughout the project and never compromised our ability
to publish.
Chris Galassini, Production Manager
Coppell Independent School District

“On behalf of AECOM, serving as Program Manager for Richland College, I would like to thank Joe Funk Construction Engineers (JFCE) for their good work on the Adaptive Remodel project. Having successfully worked with JFCE on the Dallas ISD Bond Program, AECOM expected the Adaptive Remodel to go well and we were not disappointed.”

Holzman Moss Bottino Architecture
“During our six-year relationship with JFCE we have worked together on the Plano Courtyard Theater for the City of Plano, Texas, and the Hubbard Hall Theater Facility for Texas Woman’s University. In January 2006, as Principal-in-Charge for the Texas Woman’s University project, I contacted JFCE to encourage them to submit a bid for construction services on the project. Like the Plano Courtyard Theater, the Redbud Theater is a performing arts facility that includes stage rigging, audio/visual equipment, stringent mechanical systems requirements, and the use of unusual building materials. I was certain of JFCE’s ability to successfully perform the work on this project and felt that their excellent project management skills and adaptability would ensure that this project, with a very short schedule and aggressive budget, would be successfully completed.”
Nestor Bottino, Principal

ARCHITEXAS
“ARCHITEXAS (AT) first entered into a relationship with JFCE in 2007 when they provided pre-construction services for the First Unitarian Church of Dallas renovation and expansion project, for which AT was the architect. Their services, including construction cost estimating and constructability reviews of the design documents, were essential to the design team’s effort to deliver a project that met the client’s needs within the client’s budget. As general contractor to the same project, the entire JFCE team, from project manager to job superintendent, conducted themselves with the utmost courtesy and professionalism. Their work focuses on quality while being sensitive to budget and schedule, and it shows. The project was delivered on time and under budget. JFCE’s efforts helped bring our vision to life.”

on several DISD Schools is excellent. They do exceptionally well
on renovation work and I find them to be very dependable, professional,
and amenable to doing what needs to be done. I especially like
their honesty and openness where they don’t hide things
from you. Their hiring of good subs leads to a better quality
product, and in the end, everything they do makes my job easier.
The best news for me is to learn that they won the opportunity
to build another school for us.”

“Joe Funk Construction Engineers performed on two projects simultaneously for the CFBISD. These were summer remodel and addition projects and after holding them up asbestos abatement they still completed the projects on time and in budget. By the way they never complained or hit me up with change orders; they just got after it once the abatement people got out of the way.”

goes above and beyond the normal effort on the owners behalf
with one of the most professional approaches Ive seen to
the owner/contractor relationship... very thorough in documentation
and pricing, even handed in resolution of disputes, they understand
complexity, and every time we threw them a curve in the renovation
and expansion of our school, they accepted full responsibility.
Herb Goodman, VP of Construction
City of Plano
The renovation of a 1938
gymnasium into the new Plano Courtyard Theater was a historically
significant and major undertaking for our city. Joe Funk Construction
Engineers handled everything extremely well and we appreciated
their enthusiasm for our project. As work got underway, several
problems surfaced that none of us anticipated, adding to the complexity
of the project. I was particularly impressed with how prompt they
were in coming up with solutions to these challenges. This firm
is very thorough, well organized, responsive, professional and
technically strong. I have no hesitation in recommending or using
them again.
Bill Morris, Director of Facilities

qualified who know how to deliver quality construction work. The

be a very positive and rewarding experience. I will definitely

combining two older buildings with a new building to be constructed
between the two. In addition to staying within budget, the firm
did fine work for us on what was a very tricky, delicate, and
challenging project. We developed a good working relationship
and benefited from an open line of communication. Everyone on
staff was accessible, amenable and readily available. We appreciate
the fact that we were kept fully informed about changes in pricing
and change orders.”
