| Project: Des Moines Golf & Country Club This project consists of the demolition of the existing pool house and tennis pro shop buildings to accommodate an updated and contemporary building for both, that can be enjoyed by members and guests for parties, events, and meetings. The surrounding swimming pool area and tennis courts will also be renovated with new family aquatic center equipment installed. When this project was initially bid, it was close to being a million dollars over budget. They selected us to work closely with the architect and an owner’s representative to see if we could value engineer some of the cost out of the project, while maintaining an acceptable scope of work, or finished product that they felt they would still be happy with. We were able to do this, and are very proud to have assisted in making the project a reality.

| Early on in our project with Rochon they stated that an important part of their work, beyond providing a good product, was building relationships. We found that to be very much the case during the project and after it wrapped up. They communicated extremely well, kept on task and, we felt, worked on our behalf to get the job done as specified and on time. The project was for the most part design/build therefore open dialog was essential. When changes did occur they were well communicated and thoroughly discussed with all parties before being acted on. While the project has been completed for several years now, their follow-up to any questions or warranty issues remains very strong.
