Massachusetts Maritime Academy
"Without question the skill, expertise, professionalism, and dedication of the J.K. Scanlan Company was a key factor in the overall success of the project… At the outset, significant design problems with the electrical systems and foundation became evident. In my past experience with other contractors and publicly bid jobs on this campus; that would have resulted in huge delays and even larger cost increases. In this case, however, John and Dick Scanlan themselves intervened to help work out solutions to the problems that minimized the delays and the cost increases… The result was a spectacular edifice that is the crowning jewel on this campus."

Massachusetts Audubon Welfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary
"JK Scanlan Co. was more than a builder or general contractor - you were truly a partner in the process of designing and constructing the expansion of our Nature Center. As such, your staff was able to advise us, and help us make a myriad of decisions that would enable us to realize our vision, while staying within our schedule and budget."
"A very important aspect of our project has been our goal of reaching a very high LEED certification level. Although your company (and Mass Audubon) had very limited experience with LEED projects, your commitment to work with us toward this goal was critical to our overall success.

Edgartown Residence Club
"Your company should take great pride in the talented team of craftsmen, supervisors, and project managers who assisted in completion of the project… While it is considered no easy task to coordinate a project on Martha's Vineyard, it required experience and creativity to complete the project in such a difficult area such as downtown Edgartown, particularly in light of the constraints imposed by the Historical Commission. Furthermore, with changes being made on a daily basis, the teamwork between the ownership, architect, Project Manager Shaun Finn, and field supervisor Ron Jones was evident from day one. Every issue that was encountered was dealt with openly and immediately, with no finger pointing, so that all concerned were part of the solution; this is greatly appreciated." See the full letter >>

Andover Consulting Group, Inc.
"As you can imagine, having the federal government as our tenant, we were very concerned about adhering to their specifications, timeline and budgets. Despite the difficulties in working with the federal government, your firm delivered the building to us on time and within budget."
" I would also like to mention a unique circumstance that occurred during the project. The project manager that was originally assigned to our project was removed from the project shortly after it began as he was activated for military service in Iraq (this was done with only 2 weeks notice). While this situation brought us much concern and could have been a challenging situation for most contractors, your firm, due mostly to your team approach and system of checks and balances, and our project did not miss a beat."
