Client Testimonials

Ahead of Schedule

“The firm was able to be ahead of schedule by 3 months which typically does not happen. They have created their own detailed PMP (Project Management Plan) that foes through all deliverables and items needed to make the deliverables happen. This PMP has proven effective as it has been developing and giving us the outcomes using it that we desire. Overall, we are very satisfied with the work that the vendor is doing on the master plan”

“…great collaboration on all the [Awen] architect’s parts, good communication, quick turnaround of new designs based on comments from VA support and clinical staff, and a professionalism and thoroughness by all.

Strongly Recommend

“By far this has been one of the most professional, skilled, and effective A/E and Engineering companies I have worked with in my 30 years in VA Contracting and Capital Asset Management, both as a CO and as a COR later. The Exchanges with Awen team members have always been professional, courteous, and positive throughout the numerous contracts and Task Orders this company has performed when I was involved for VISN 21. The Key leadership and the technical personnel of the company reflect great credit on themselves and to the company in general. I strongly recommend using this company to achieve all complicated and critical projects.”
