UNSAFE PRACTICES AND DANGEROUS FOR THE COMMUNITY Would not recommend. If you are a developer avoid them at all costs! Their management team is very unresponsive. During their seemingly endless and constantly extended construction processes, they block roads and alleys from both sides without proper authority and no notice. A memorable time is when they opened a manhole in the alley and had no cones, personnel, or anything to signify there was an open hole in the ground with a man working.

There is absolutely zero consideration for the existing communities where they break ground. 0/10 would rather try and work with DCRA. Update: They have now even put cones outside of my gate and told me I couldn't enter my through my own front gate as a result of their poor planning and execution. Additionally, they are using my porch to aid in construction without any request or notice.

This is made even worse by the fact that massive cement blocks are suspended over my front yard for extended periods of time, again without request or notice. Very dangerous. I am just glad I was able to get photos in case my property, or a person, is hurt as a result of their ineptitude.

Report

They short change orders and leave it up to the contractors to pick up the shorted items. Their PM's are placed on wrong jobs for their skill set. Unrealistic goals and backcharge for the little petty items. All around white collar thieves in a blue collar industry!
