Ramon has been an integral part of the success of Construction Management. He is dedicated to each individually assigned project like it is his only one. We value his contributions to the team and to the City of Fresno. Ramon has received praise from other City departments for his professionalism and dedication to his assigned projects, most notably the SESWTF Server Room HVAC Split System Installation. A small but complicated project that required working with multiple departments in addition to an active operating facility. Ramons ability to go above and beyond in all assigned tasks is truly remarkable.
Congratulations, Ramon!
