“I fell into working with Agate from a friend in our company that had used them for one of his projects. He had first-hand knowledge of the difference in quality and service as he also used another contractor to do another project earlier that year. It was on his recommendation that we ultimately chose to have Agate do our dealership remodel. When dealing with Agate the first thing that hits you immediately is their attention to detail. We had a weekly meeting that kept everyone informed on the process, any obstacles or challenges, and exactly where we were according to schedule. The timeline was tight and trying to operate a business through construction is difficult. Agate knows this and worked around all our customer-facing projects on off hours, weekends, or with minimal interruption in service as possible. Now that our project is finished, I couldn’t be happier. Agate even kept a Forman on the job 6 weeks after completion just to take care of any odds and ends that we needed. Their customer service is incredible! As I reflect back on this project, I do not look at our remodel as a business relationship, rather a moment in time where I have met some lifelong friends. I would highly recommend Agate Construction for any commercial project you are entertaining. Their customer service, attention to detail, and care about the clients want and needs is refreshing in today’s day and age. Thank you, Dan, Jacob, Joe, Scott, and Lou Primak, for setting the bar really high, then surpassing it!” Shane M. O’Hanrahan, Chapman Automotive Group

“Agate’s team was able to quickly identify issues and provide engineered solutions, allowing construction schedules to stay on track. This commitment to overall project success and going above and beyond highlighted the difference between Agate companies and many of their competitors. Through their early and consistent commitment to the project, Agate played a large role in bringing this project to a successful completion resulting in a new and improved vehicle and mine service facilities for the owner. Through the process, their staff was always willing to jump in and help solve issues that were encountered, and did so with professionalism and a personal touch. Working with Agate on this project was a pleasure and we are looking forward to collaborating with them again in the future.” Kris VanLuchene, SE

Desert View Systems Inc. Electrical Contracting

We recently were able to celebrate our 25th year of being in business here in Arizona and we of course have spent a lot of time discussing the huge steps that it took to build our company from the ground up especially focusing in on what it was that helped us to make our company successful. Without a doubt, one of the major factors at the top of that list was having had the opportunity to team up with Agate Construction on that very first project over twenty four years ago. When looking at the multiple projects that we’ve completed with Agate Construction over the past twenty four years versus some of the projects that we’ve had with other General Contractors, we quickly discovered that a key factor to being successful as a Sub Contractor would require that our Company be very selective on who we would choose to bid projects with. We quickly saw the importance of only teaming up with companies like Agate that had the same business model and business ethics that we held knowing that it would be a very successful relationship thus creating several project opportunities. Thus after over 24 years, we still consider our Company to be very fortunate when we have the opportunity to take on a new project with the Agate Team We especially have come to appreciate the large steps that have been made by Agate in the past few years as they push away from the long held terms of “General Contractor and Sub Contractor.” We have seen and experienced the results that have came from the Agate Team implementing the steps required to build on those same strong relationships as “Trade Partners” where we’re all on the same team with the same goals. We can definitely say that our Company looks forward to our continued Team Partnership with Agate Construction knowing that our two companies can continue to be successful thru whatever turn the economy may take.  Mike Scott, President
