Denise provides excellent plan reviews. She’s one if not the best plan reviewer of all our inspectors. We really appreciate the time, effort, and expertise that she exhibits on her plan reviews!!! It is/was especially important on this project.
The CNA provider did an excellent job of utilizing the current CNA template correctly and providing both narratives and reports that were well assembled and demonstrated a clear understanding of the separation of rehabilitation scopes of work / costs versus maintenance and operational scopes of work / costs. By doing so, the CNA provider made our review of these documents easier and simpler to complete.
Don Dudrow goes over and above what is expected …An excellent company who knows HUD procedures and processes very well.
Once again I thank you for the excellent work your agency did for us on our needs assessment. It will be a very helpful guideline for us.
