PROJECT IN PROGRESS G.M. Crisa lli is working on a tena nt improvement fit-out for American Renal Associates Dialysis Center in Rome. " We were competitively bidding the project and added G.M. Crisalli to the bid list based on the streng th of their health portfolio and depth of knowledge exhibited by Rocco Paone," says Marc Eagles of American Renal Management LLC, Project Management. "Construction projects are a lways cha llenging. This project was no different. G.M. Crisalli's knowledge of the market, construction processes and subcontractor strength helped to make this a successful project." Money is a big motivator for clients, a nd medica l clients a re pa r ticula rly cost-conscious and want to spend their money wisely. " We work with clients to help them analyze budgets and look at what is really needed versus areas where savings can be safely realized," Paone says. "If anti-static or anti-microbial flooring is called for, you really can't compromise a lot there. We try to make clients aware of the trade-offs in these kinds of decisions. We've learned how to adapt to these details better than your average contractor and offer custom- ers the pros and cons of every potential alternative and decision as they set up their budgets. "We care about clients, we care what clients think about us, we care enough to tell the truth, even when the truth hurts," Paone continues. "We're all looking forward to a very rigorous 2021 season as COVID-19 waves its ugly head goodbye and we tackle the projects that were side- lined and those sprouting up as a result." "The medical field will grow because of the increasing aging population and new and improving technology," Crisalli adds. "We plan to be at the forefront of that." "Without exception, every G.M. Crisalli employee involved with the project was professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with," Eagles says. "I would recom- mend them on their construction acumen, professionalism and competitive pricing." MEDICAL PROJECT RÉSUMÉ G. M .
