“Your involvement in both the design and construction, via design-build services, enabled the execution of the project work which resulted in the successful transformation of an existing facility. This provided some unique aspects, challenges, and solutions for accomplishing this project. The interaction between construction professionals and design professional was an essential part of the success. Your team made it happen by working hard on behalf of the customer to give them great value for the transformation of their facility. As in any project, there are challenges that come into play along the way and this facility was no exception. Your collaborative approach and proposed solutions enabled the processing of these challenges to be expeditious and thorough.”

“I commend Horst Construction on the exemplary project execution of the West Pharmaceutical Westar Addition / Renovation project. We believe that this was a very successful project for our client, not only by the finished product, but by the way the project was managed – from design through purchasing and construction. The demands of this project were fast paced and complete with high owner expectations for the final appearance and operation of the facility expansion. When any issues developed in the field during contraction, the information flow was quick, open, and efficient which allowed the entire team to quickly address and resolve those issues so that the project schedule was not impacted. The cooperation and leadership of Horst Construction with its team members was exceptional and allowed for a smooth and efficient process from beginning of design through completion of construction.”
Ed Caulkins, P.E., DME Alliance
“ Horst did a remarkable job. Not only did Horst Construction exceed our expectations with the finished product, they were also able to do this considerably under budget and on time. They also managed to accomplish this while we continued to operate our business with very little disruption. It was a pleasure to work with everyone from Horst. “
- Ed Stillman, Stillman Volvo
“It is the attention to minor detail that makes a ‘good’ project a ‘great’ project. As if this type of construction with its delicate intricacies were not difficult enough, this project was all performed with the existing facility remaining in operation. The appropriate and critical separations were maintained between the existing operating facility and the construction areas and no time was lost in the existing facility due to the execution of Horst Construction’s work. The many milestone dates surrounding working in an ongoing facility were met. After multiple jobsite visits to review the quality of the construction performed by Horst on this project, it is a pleasure to say publicly that Horst Construction met and exceeded the challenge.”
Eric Walker, AIA, CCS
“We appreciate your team’s responsiveness and dedication to quality – from the minor repair projects to the larger renovations and additions. We value the collaborative efforts of your team that include listening to our programming requirements, offering value engineering suggestions, and working with us to bring each project’s unique vision to reality. We are grateful that your on-site team always keeps the safety and comfort of our residents as a priority and respects the fact that the “jobsite” is actually our residents’ home. Many of our Allentown residents even greeted your project superintendent by name, because he took the time to get to know them during the construction of the apartments and the subsequent building renovations.”
- G. Michael Leader, Country Meadows Retirement Community
“All of your work from planning and code approval through construction and to final occupancy was done in a quality and professional manner. You understood or needs to continue to utilize our facility during the construction process and proactively suggested solutions and worked around our needs. You provided excellent service in helping us balance the existing architectural styles and materials while also staying within our budget constraints. We also appreciated your responsiveness to our questions and efforts to keep us informed of the project status.”
- Glyn Boone, Wheatland Presbyterian Church
“It was a very successful and well-orchestrated project from the start of design through completion. We contribute that greatly to the coordination provided by the project team. Horst Construction shows great pride in producing the highest quality project, while maintaining a level of professionalism that is at the top of the list. Their commitment to safety was evident throughout the entire project. Expectations were clear from the start, which created a comfortable, clean, and safe working environment for all crew members.”
Jason Walton, Haller Enterprises
“I am pleased to report that the construction phase of this project was, without a doubt, the best I have been involved in for many years. The leadership and coordination provided by your superintendent were exemplary, and he kept the work moving at a reasonable pace that allowed us to be at our best in both quality and production. I can honestly say the overall quality of this building is the best I have seen in many years. In these times of tight budgets and fast paced, low-quality construction, I found Horst Construction to be a refreshing change. Together we not only worked out a very practical and cost-effective design, we built a building all can be proud of.”
-Michael DalCin, Electrical Contractor
“ Your crew has been so courteous and making us feel so at home while they work around us. They are so mannerly and work well together. Thank you, again, for a job well done. I would highly recommend you.”
- Resident, Cornwall Manor
“During construction, all of the contractors were excellent with our residents and staff. I was particularly impressed with their respect of the residents’ units. You have exceeded our expectations. Thank you for a wonderful experience.”
- Tina Poffenberger, St John Towers
“From the day your superintendent stepped into our building it was clear that he had a game plan for how he wanted to complete the project with minimal disruption to the staff at GSM. Considering that we were doing a major office renovation and still trying to operate our business, he did an excellent job. We got a great looking high-quality job that came in on time and under budget. From start to finish, the Horst team did an excellent job transforming GSM Roofing’s outdated uninspiring office into a contemporary enjoyable work environment which we are thrilled to show off.”
