For well over 15 years, I have worked with Shannon and she has truly become one of my favorite people in the commercial real estate industry. As a client, Shannon is a fierce advocate for her clients, but is also fair with the vendors and contractors who she works with. She understands that the best results come from an open and honest process and runs her projects as such. Whether schedule, budget or change orders, Shannon reviews and questions every aspect of a project, but is always fair and honest in her assessments. This leads to a truly collaborative relationship that benefits her clients, saving both time and money. As a friend, Shannon’s personality reflects much of what her business life is like: she is always available to share a laugh, bounce ideas off of each other, give truly honest advice, or just to listen.

Shannon has an excellent understanding of construction with the ability to grasp technical issues, challenge appropriate specialists with alternatives, and make good, value-based decisions. I am honored to consider Shannon a client and friend.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Shannon for six years. Her experience shines when she leads construction meetings. Shannon has a 'whatever it takes' attitude to get a project done completely and accurately and does her part to keep everything moving forward in a timely manner. She is a considerate and powerful networker and has connected me with two professionals my employer eventually brought on as teammates. She’s the most appreciative client I have worked with, acknowledging extra-ordinary efforts some might take for granted. I would absolutely recommend Shannon as a thoughtful and highly skilled construction management consultant.”

“Shannon and I were introduced five years ago for the office renovation project she managed for our company.  The project that Shannon led for us was extremely complex and required phasing and coordination over multiple months.  Shannon was meticulous and a fantastic leader, leaving nothing to fall through the cracks.  Shannon’s project management, interpersonal skills, dedication and genuine desire for the outcome to be spectacular is a testament to her commitment. We always felt she had our best interests at heart.”
