"THIS LETTER IS INTENDED TO SUPPLEMENT YOUR INTRODUCTION TO FVHD ARCHITECTS AND TED HOPKINS, PRINCIPAL OF THE FIRM..."

THIS LETTER IS INTENDED TO SUPPLEMENT YOUR INTRODUCTION TO FVHD ARCHITECTS AND TED HOPKINS, PRINCIPAL OF THE FIRM. HOPEFULLY YOU ARE READING THIS AFTER HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THEIR WORK WITH THE FIRM'S CLIENTS, VISITED A FEW OF THEIR PROJECTS AND REVIEWED THEIR COMPANY BROCHURE. IF SO, YOU UNDOUBTEDLY FOUND THEIR DESIGN WORK STUNNING AS WELL AS FUNCTIONAL; AND THEIR STRONG COMMITMENT TO CLIENT SERVICE TO BE UNWAVERING. YOU ARE NO DOUBT ALSO AWARE OF THE MANY QUANTIFIABLE DETAILS OF THE FIRM INCLUDING THEIR MANY YEARS OF CONTINUED SERVICE, THEIR COUNTLESS CLIENTS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF SUCCESSFUL PROJECTS; ALL SIGNIFICANT AND IMPORTANT ATTRIBUTES. THERE ARE OTHER QUALITIES THAT ARE NOT AS EASILY DISCERNABLE BUT EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT TO ANY ORGANIZATION OR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERING THEIR SERVICES. AS SOMEONE INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE FOR OVER 20 YEARS AS WELL AS SERVING AS THE DIRECTOR OF FACILITIES FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, I FIND THE CHARACTER OF THE INDIVIDUALS WITH WHOM ONE WORKS - AMONG THE MANY VARIABLES - IS USUALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT CRITERION FOR A TRULY SUCCESSFUL PROJECT. AS THE DIRECTOR OF FACILITIES I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH FVHD ARCHITECTS AND TED HOPKINS TO CONSTRUCT TWO NEW SCHOOLS; A TRANSPORTATION CENTER AND OFFICE COMPLEX; THE INSTALLATION OF SOLAR PANELS; ROOF REPLACEMENTS; A NEW FIRE ALARM SYSTEM; MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENTS; AND MAJOR SCHOOL RENOVATIONS INCLUDING NEW KITCHENS, A TV STUDIO, REMODELED LIBRARY AND COUNTLESS CLASSROOM AND OFFICE REMODELING PROJECTS. AND WITH THESE MANY PROJECTS OVER THE PAST 12 YEARS WORKING WITH TED HOPKINS AND THE OTHERS AT FVHD, I FOUND THEM TO BE FIRST-CLASS PROFESSIONALS, HONEST AND RELIABLE PARTNERS WHO ARE HIGHLY RESPONSIVE AND COMPLETELY COMMITTED TO THE SCHOOL'S SUCCESS. THIS ASSESSMENT IS SHARED BY OTHERS. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ALSO FOUND FVHD WELL REGARDED BY OFFICIALS AT THE NJ DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND THEIR WORD AND PRESENCE RESPECTED AT LOCAL PLANNING BOARDS AND AMONG MUNICIPAL OFFICIALS. THIS IS A COMPANY THAT YOU WANT SUPPORTING YOU AND YOUR ORGANIZATION. DONALD CZEHUT FORMER DIRECTOR OF FACILITIES
