What People Have to Say "I have only good things to say about my experiences with Tellepsen. Their input during preconstruction has always been valuable, and they likewise rely on Page’s A/E team to work closely with them during construction. The work has always been collaborative and professional, and Tellepsen has usually been asked to deliver projects faster than reasonable to expect. " Kurt Neubek | Page "There's no substitute for a relationship of trust and outstanding performance built up over years. We are not perfect owners and you are not perfect builders, but we have done very well with our mutual expertise, communication, documentation and commitment to a great outcome not just for us, but for the people of Houston." Sheryl Kolasinski | Houston Zoo "The entire team was exceptional. A special shoutout to my friend Howard for delivering everything the team promised. My highest recommendation for Tellepsen without any hesitation. WOW! What a great group of folks. We are very pleased with the outcome of our new home." Rick Conelly | Fluor "I am delighted to be partnered with Tellepsen. And, I truly do feel like we are a partnership and family as we create this amazing gateway for children and families to find justice, healing and hope!" Victoria Constance | Children's Safe Harbor "The team has been great to work with on Jack's Cafe - from the perspective of the architects. We appreciate that Tellepsen has created a transparent environment for architects & owners to understand submittal deadlines, projects costs, budget and upcoming change orders. I appreciate that the Tellepsen team treats our team with mutual respect and fosters a positive environment when on site visits and client meetings. Look forward to completing another successful project together!" Sunnie Diaz | Lake Flato "Tellepsen is by far the best CMAR Contractor that I have worked with over my 48 years in the industry. Their word (do what we say we'll do as a comment and do so with intent) is their bond. My opinion is unwavering with relevance to having worked in 14 states and with over a hundred construction firms. I consider it a privilege each day to have Tellepsen as a partner representing our clients......" Jeff Hurd | Gallagher "I have had the pleasure of working with Tellepsen on two large-scale complicated projects that were both successes. Tellepsen was a strong partner the entire duration of both projects from early estimating to punchlist, always responsive, sensitive to Brookfield’s needs/requirements and the needs/requirements of our tenants, and transparent. " William Holliday | Brookfield Properties "I would like to express my gratitude for being able to work with such a great team! We were dealing with a tough schedule, an old building, and a budget which by no means was generous. We have been part of the rebirth of a new building, and I believe all of us are proud of the strenuous effort." Theodora Batchvarova | RdlR Architects, Inc. "Our team at Fluor continues to absolutely kill it. I could not be prouder of what this group is doing out there. This is obviously not an easy project, and our group is doing a great job delivering while creating raving fans on all sides." Mariam Arian, design partner on Fluor "Tellepsen's ability to collaborate effectively with our team and adapt to changing circumstances was particularly commendable. Their clear communication and problem-solving skills greatly contributed to the project's success. Tellepsen's unwavering commitment to safety and quality further underscored their professionalism and dedication. I have no hesitation in recommending Tellepsen for any future projects or endeavors. Their expertise, work ethic, and results-driven approach make them an invaluable asset to any organization." Michael Bletsch | Houston Methodist Hospital "Working with Tellepsen was truly exceptional. From the outset of our project, it was evident that Tellepsen understood the intricacies of construction and project management. Their commitment to delivering quality work was unwavering, and they demonstrated a keen eye for detail in every aspect of the project. This dedication to excellence ensured that the final results far exceeded our expectations." Kristen Kupperman | Texas Medical Center Nabisco Labs "I want to tell you how much I appreciate the job that Tellepsen did for us. I have been involved with major construction projects for nearly two decades. Over that time period, I have never experienced individuals – from the superintendent down to the laborers – who took such pride in their work. Your staff not only did a magnificent job, they did it in a friendly and cooperative manner. The personnel on site were unfailingly courteous and helpful, and their professionalism and dedication was infectious as far as subcontractors and others working on the project were concerned." William Kovach | St. Martin's Episcopal Church "Your team did an outstanding job. You lived up to your reputation of being of service and on spot in solving problems. The team's camaraderie showed well, the preparation was unmatched and the credibility of your entire organization won you the project." Joseph Mathis | The Mathis Group "Thank you for your team’s above-and-beyond work to accommodate and support our tree moving activities this week. With your support and partnership, we are able to save approximately 200 trees by relocating them, with the large live oak requiring the most coordination with and support from your team...We sincerely appreciate your partnership and are very happy to be continuing our work together." Shellye Arnold | Memorial Park Conservancy "Just wanted Tellepsen to know how much I appreciate y’all. Houston Methodist Baytown has had a lot of success in 2019, both financially as well as operationally. Being able to succeed in these areas plus successfully complete a major construction project would not have been possible without your team. Thank you!!" Jarren Garrett | Houston Methodist Baytown Hospital
