| “Thanks a lot, Rodney,
for another fantastic presentation in class today. Your series of
“tales from the crypt” of the development world were both thoroughly
entertaining and instructive, and I know the class came away with
some great advice as to how get a project off on the right track and
to keep it there. As Rocky Rockefeller noted, every project should
have you on it, and it’s easy to see why you’ve got a job for life
since there’s no shortage of challenging development projects.” |

builder, and the management of the budget and schedule. Their role was key to the success
of this project. We look forward to working with them in the future.” |
