The Washington Mutual project has been, in my 17 years of experience, one of the best run operations that I have seen. Leopardo has always been upfront with estimations of deadlines and always followed through with any promises. Your professionalism and work ethic shows in the end result of this project.

After working with Leopardo on several other projects, I knew I could trust your work, but the Chef Innovation Center turned out even better than I hoped. Your attention to detail and documentation was invaluable in keeping the project on time. Thank you and your team for your dedication to the project. I would look forward to working with you and your firm on future projects.

I would like to applaud the professional, team-oriented effort the Leopardo project team exhibited during both pre-construction and the physical construction of the Much Shelist project. During the 20 plus years that I have been involved with architecture and construction, I have never participated in such a successful “team approach.”

I just wanted to send a quick note to say that one of the most important relationships Archon developed this year was with the Leopardo Construction. Our Hoffman project is at its level of success because of the client-first culture you have instilled throughout your staff – thanks.

Leopardo isn’t just a canned outfit that has pretty much the same story as everybody else. Leopardo very diligently defends and protects the client’s interests. They try to make a long-term relationship with every client, as well as with us.

This letter is to express our gratitude for Leopardo’s constant willingness to listen to our concerns and act upon them. The entire crew made every effort to maintain a clean and safe environment for us, and were all extremely conscious of the noise and disruption factor. We found the entire crew considerate, efficient and respectful.

I wanted to acknowledge Leopardo’s contribution to yet another well done building here in Lombard. Leopardo was easy to work with because you anticipated our concerns and addressed them prior to any conflicts. We look forward to having the opportunity to work with Leopardo again.

Leopardo promised the Village Board and Village Staff a value engineered project brought in on time and within budget. Leopardo promised the Village Board and its Police Department that it would be a respectful and trust partner. It is my pleasure to let you know that Leopardo went above and beyond that promise as it found the time and energy to leverage every square foot of this facility for the benefit of the community it will serve. Your efforts resulted in a police facility of remarkable value and quality.

This is a letter of gratitude and appreciation for the fantastic job put in on the Peds Cath Lab project by Leopardo Construction’ staff. As you know the project was quite a challenge. Handcuffed by working in the middle of a department that had to remain operational. Your crew did an outstanding job. Everyday I witnessed the hard work and dedication to the job Leopardo put forward. Leopardo has such a good name at the University of Chicago Medical Center.

During every phase of the project, Leopardo’s performance was first-rate. Not only was the project completed on time (no small feat considering the very aggressive schedule), but also well within our budgetary constraints. Our attorneys and employees are thrilled with their new office space. Our visitors constantly comment favorably on the design and the construction of the space.

Throughout this very difficult project, Leopardo Construction demonstrated their ability to partner with Sears by providing very skilled people and excellent project management services. From the time the project started, to the opening of the story, Leopardo Construction demonstrated to us a “sense of urgency” in completing this project with the highest quality of work at the best possible cost. Thanks again to you and the entire Leopardo Construction staff for partnering with Sears in completing the great indoors project.

From the bidding and permitting process to the final punch list, your staff was a pleasure to work with.

Because of the buildings rich history and character, this project required delicate and precise restoration. Leopardo took many intricate steps to restore the building’s signature lobby and street façade. While the building remained in use during renovation, the Leopardo team did a great job at keeping the interior environment clean, safe and dust-free for all the building tenants passing through the lobby every day.
Rudy Banducci, Vice President and General Manager
DUS Management, Inc.
From the onset of our expansion to the termination of our renovation, all of the work progressed smoothly and on schedule. If the opportunity ever again arises, we would work with Leopardo again in a heartbeat. We would also highly recommend Leopardo to any organization that was embarking on a construction project.

Leopardo makes sure the owner gets a fair price for the work that needs to be done. They pay careful attention when it comes to extra work. They are not afraid. And they don’t hold back from expressing their appreciation to our field people. They make you feel good, wanted, appreciated.
