Client Quotes

“In my opinion, Keystone Associates went far beyond the call of duty, as they assisted us to keep our prices down, negotiated (or possibly more accurately pleaded our case) with contractors, getting us quality services and material/equipment while helping to minimize our costs. Communication between STIC and Keystone Associates was frequent, often daily, and the project stuck to its time-table and ran practically without a hitch.”

“STIC has had much experience with different architects and firms in the area, many of whom claim to understand access requirements but most of which do not, and we have seen all too many projects need extensive revisions after their completion due to an inaccessible design suggested by the architects. Keystone Associates excel in the understanding of access needs and requirements and truly provide outstanding services to their customers.”

“The concept development work that was done by Keystone Associates in conjunction with our staff provided the basis for an extremely functional facility that will serve the needs of our program for many years to come. Additionally, concepts that were incorporated in the design were not only functional but also reflected forward thinking with respect to cost savings and operational efficiencies.”

“I have worked with members of Keystone Associates on a number of projects over the last 14 years and have never been disappointed with the results.”

“Keystone Associates was required to evaluate our 45 year-old manufacturing facility and existing properties then propose several options for a new facility. A proposal was selected that allowed us to consolidate manufacturing, warehousing and offices at one location utilizing an existing building and purchasing an adjacent property. This move positioned the company to be much more efficient and competitive. Keystone Associates developed, designed and managed all phases of this project from concept to completion. This project was used as a model for other locations in North America and a proposed plant in Ireland.”
