"I strongly endorse hiring Rick King for your project consulting requirements.  We are in the middle of renovating our corporate offices in Atlanta, Georgia.  Rick has helped us every step of the way.  He has been an invaluable resource in assisting us to work through the multiple issues we confronted during the project.  He provided us great insight through the design and bidding phases to help us maintain our budget.  Rick further worked with our partners to realize additional savings.  His prior experience in construction management and design serves him very well in his current role.  Above all, he is an honorable businessman with great integrity."

“I believe key differentiating factors that allowed the project to achieve such a high level of success was both your daily interaction with the team and your constant, in-depth knowledge of the project. Without this, I firmly believe the decision-making process and subsequent progress of the work would have been dramatically impacted. Your team leadership and absolute commitment resulted in achieving all of the necessary goals to make the project a resounding success. Our confidence in your leadership, which was demonstrated on the PulteGroup project, has proven your ability to engender team trust and to provide real value to our client. We at Turner Interiors look forward to the next opportunity to work with you."
