“I would like to express my appreciation for the specifications and drawings prepared for Baruch College's Site B Food Service Equipment. The documents prepared by your firm were exemplary. Due to the detail stipulated in the specifications prepared by Hopkins regarding coordination, installation and shop drawings, I anticipate minimal problems during the construction phase. I deal with consultants to the architect in many areas; i.e., telecommunications, security, theater rigging, etc. The attention to detail in the specifications and drawings provided by Hopkins are rare indeed. Thank you for making my job easier.”
-Barbara Sorrell, Purchasing Department, Dormitory Authority of the State of New York.
“My experience with Hopkins was very positive. There was never an issue about getting to the site. They always offered their help. There were few issues with clarity of the drawings and documents. The college was very happy about that. Hopkins continued to work with the vendor to educate them on the design. Hopkins created a work environment that’s adaptable to change as student’s habits change. The project overall was very successful in terms of the number of students who coming to the cafeteria. Hopkins was very service oriented.”
