“Our project at Valo is getting close to wrapping up. I just wanted to send you a note to thank your team for the professionalism and dedication to optimizing our office space. Karl has been absolutely fantastic. It is reassuring to have someone of that quality and character watching over every detail of the project. He not only keeps everyone on task, but he’s also always challenging the design to make sure we’re considering every aspect so that we end up with the best result. Karl is a model representative of your company. I suspect you already knew that, and I appreciate you assigning him to our build out.” Greg Praske CEO ARG IT Clarity

“I wanted to reach out to you and just let you know how impressed both Janak and I are with your team. They have been very organized, focused and incredibly competent. They have impressed us with their efficiency as well as thoroughness. They follow up, hold people accountable and run a tight ship. So happy to work with such professionals and having you guys on our team. We were just talking to Chris Kelleher yesterday regarding this and had mentioned this to him as well.
Sometimes, we assume that when a team is good that they already know. But I don’t want to let that be assumed. Even if you know that your team is excellent, it’s good to be told again!
Please feel free to share my email with each of the team members. Some we do come in contact with and I am sure there are a lot of behind the scene people who make this process go as well as it does. We are excited to continue on this journey with you and hopefully working with you on our school #2 in the near future! Thank you!” Keyuri Rajani Owner Celebree School, Rockville
