CLIENT QUOTES

"I would highly recommend Ricardo for any-sized building or renovation project.  He is extremely knowledgeable of all aspects of building and has a direct, thorough, and collaborative communication style that is extremely effective.  He is watchful and attentive in always representing the owner's best interests while also striving for collaborative solutions to challenges.  His management style, communication abilities, and construction expertise would be of value to any organization."
Marsha Malonson - Director of Corporate Services, SAIF Corporation

"I had the pleasure of working with Ricardo on three projects for Jefferson County. All of the projects were completed using the CM/GC method of contracting, which involved heavy emphasis on pre-construction planning. I was impressed by Ricardo's leadership during the entire project, but in particular, how he was a difference maker during the early planning stages of the project. Ricardo is adept in his communication skills and is a strong team builder. He takes the client's goals & objectives to heart and formulates action plans in a collaborative manner to ensure that they are achieved. I offer Ricardo my highest recommendation."
Jeff Rasmussen – County Administrator, Jefferson County

"Ricardo Becerril has my strongest possible recommendation as a Senior Large Project Manager for any large public or private industry construction project. His demonstrated proficiency and professionalism while working on occupied educational campuses make him particularly qualified for that type of work. Should Mr. Becerril ever decide to individually project manage work for the Salem-Keizer School District, we would not hesitate to hire him."
Bruce Lathers - Manager of Construction Services, Salem-Keizer Public Schools

"Luis proved to be an invaluable asset to the project.  His willingness to help, paired with an expert level of problem-solving skills, significantly contributed to overcoming the challenges that arose during the complex construction project of building a new Police Facility and City Hall.  Luis' readiness to offer support and collaborate with others was instrumental in building teamwork and mutual respect among all parties"
Jason Gottgetreu– Community Development Director, City of Silverton

"Ricardo has always displayed to me tremendous organizational, computer, communication and people skills, knowledge of construction, schedules, means and methods and dedication to quality as the final outcome. In short, if I were to start my own firm, Ricardo would be my first hire."
Marc Bevens – Architect, Formerly Partner with Soderstrom Architects

"I so appreciate the thorough updates and for Compass' willingness to have those difficult conversations on our behalf.  I also appreciate Compass' persistent efforts to seek out cost savings at every corner of the project"
Aaron Kimsey – Assistant City Engineer, City of Salem

"Thank you Ricardo.  I really appreciate you, your Compass team, and your work for us.  In every project I can think of, we are ALWAYS better for your involvement."
Courtney Busch – Assistant City Manager, City of Salem

"Ricardo, Thank you for taking the time to be a true partner in education at Hallman Elementary. You contributed your personal time and energy as well as encouraging your company to invest in the lives of students. I know that you understand the value of companies and individuals joining with the community to accomplish things for our young people."
Sandy Husk – Superintendent, Salem-Keizer Public Schools

 "As a result of our working together, I am happy to report that largely due to Ricardo's efforts, our Bond construction was completed on schedule, and under budget.  Our Bond encountered some unfortunate and unforeseeable costs, but Ricardo managed the project ins such a way that the district saved hundreds of thousands of dollars that would have otherwise been accrued.  As an educator, unfamiliar with big construction projects, I always felt that Ricardo was a close ally and supporter.  He was working for me and I knew that I could trust him implicitly.  Finally, Ricardo showed real commitment to our community by donating his time to work on community projects, and by contributing financially toward our culminating amphitheater project."
Brad Capener– Superintendent, Formerly Jefferson School District 14J

"Ricardo was tactful yet demanding when dealing with those responsible for constructing the building and providing representation to us.  His expertise, industry knowledge, network of relationships and soft skills came together as a perfect combination for success.  His style and that of his team members is pointed, direct and balanced but also fair and accommodating. He encourages everyone to put the hard work in toward finding the more difficult win-win solutions as opposed to the easier and tempting win-lose solutions.  Essentially, he made it clear what was and was not acceptable for the projects success, and provided the leadership to make it happen. I truly believe that every dollar spent on the services provided by Ricardo and his team returned measurable value and savings back to the City of Salem. There is no doubt we were fortunate to have Ricardo working on our behalf, and I wholeheartedly would recommend him to anyone facing the challenges associated with the construction of a police facility.
