Testimonials

“I speak for myself and my partners in saying that Emory Hill provided the best in customer service, construction management and site management. As the project took shape, decisions had to be made to change designs, cut costs, etc. Emory Hill always took the time to meet with myself and my four partners to make sure we understood what we were doing, the costs involved in those changes, and what the end results would be. The building was transformed from a greasy mechanic’s workshop into a beautiful medical facility that has allowed for us to grow our veterinary business, while providing a state-of-the-art facility for our staff and our patients and their owners.”
-Shirley A. Lockhart, Business Manager at VSC of Delaware

“This project was a successful adaptive re-use project that never lost sight of the owner’s vision for converting a vacant auto shop into a first-class animal specialty center which serves Delaware and surrounding state residents and their pets. The Emory Hill Companies was responsible for the general construction of the project including coordination of minor site improvements, mechanical, plumbing and electrical contractors. In addition, they expertly handled the relocation of existing veterinary specialty equipment that was critical for the continued operation of the emergency and clinical exam rooms. Emory Hill understood the architectural challenges and design mission of the project team and never lost sight of the team’s goal. The Emory Hill Companies was a pleasure to work with on this project and their dedication and commitment to construction excellence is unparalleled.”
