“...the challenges of this project was to design & build a new five story school of approximately 60,000 square feet in a record design and construction time frame of 16 1/2 months. It is our opinion as  the architects of record for this project that Calcedo Construction Corporation performed in an extraordinary manner in order to acheive this accelerated schedule. The daily involvement of the principal of the firm, Mr. Joseph Tomei and the highly responsive and experienced project managers and staff of this organization made a vast difference. Our firms formed a very positive cooperative alliance between architect and contractor to get this project completed on time and jointly  maintaining standards of quality and excellence of design. Our office highly esteems and recommends Calcedo Construction Corporation for your most challenging projects."  - Joseph Coppola, AIA Principal-Richard Dattner & Partners
