SHW Group
“The team that you provided on North Lamar High School was one of the best I have ever worked with.  This team exceeded all of my expectations of team work.  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

The Wall Street Journal
“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

“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

The firm did everything they said they would do and I would definitely use them again.”

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.”

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.”
