Testimonials

I am the Security Director for a major health care provider in the Pacific Northwest and, as we were about to embark on a $600,000 renovation for one of our locations, I was also managing all facility needs. After interviewing Melissa to project manage this job, I knew there was no point in looking any further.  Her calmness, professionalism and demeanor gave me the impression that she was the one and we were right. I basically dumped it on her and she took it and ran with it and made my job (life) easier. 

Melissa is extremely competent, friendly and sees the big picture and knows how all the moving pieces of a large project fit together from the architect to the contractor to the sub-contractors to staff who are having to have their place of business disrupted for several months.  She makes everything run smoothly.

Anyone or any business that needs a single point of contact for a build, relocation or remodel who can work with everyone connected to the project would be well advised to use Melissa.  Give her the job, walk away and let her do what she does best. I’ve already hired her for our next project. No need to think of anyone else!

We had heard great things about Melissa from a former client of hers when we were looking for someone to manage the redevelopment of a new location for us as well as the move in once complete. She was warm and friendly, she listened to what we needed and she seemed both laid back and incredibly organized. She showed herself to have great follow-through and responsiveness from day one, which we took as a great sign. She thought of everything, even things we weren’t thinking about.

As Executive Director I was responsible for the development and move but was heading into maternity leave right at a crucial point in the process. Melissa gave me complete confidence that I could leave it all in her hands as I left and made it possible for our staff to continue doing their important work right up until the move with no interruption. She was even right there in it with us in the end, packing boxes, making sure the movers knew where to go, unpacking, etc. She really became part of our extended work family for this significant undertaking.

The brilliant thing about Melissa is I would recommend her to any type of organization – nonprofit, for profit, small, large, in PDX or not – because her experience is broad and she really listens to your needs and tailors her work to what you need as a particular organization. She was transparent about the amount of time the work would take and what the cost would be, so we always knew what to expect.
