What people say about Burke Special Projects

BSP has solidified its reputation as a relationship-based contractor, providing clients with personalized services and consistent communication.

"First and foremost, the best thing about working with Burke is their experience based knowledge and how they communicate that to the user. The team is very responsive, which is essential in our industry. Their quality of work is deeply appreciated. Burke can do everything from A to Z and knows how to avoid the problems that may arise. It is not easy to work through a construction process from start to finish, but Burke has proven to be excellent at this. A great business always starts at the top and Jim is excellent with tenants and users. Kevin is very professional and meticulous. You have to be that way to succeed in this industry, and Burke has."

- Brad Peterson, SIOR

"Our experiences with Burke have been phenomenal in every sense. Over the years we have worked with Burke on many sophisticated and demanding requirements where they were the contractor for our clients office space. Their team takes the time to understand the client and deliver a level of service, performance and knowledge that is indicative of the infectious culture that Kevin and his team have built. Beyond the professionalism their dedication to the community and always doing the right thing is truly what stands out to us most. They’re one of a kind."

- Dan Palmeri, SIOR

"Shane's diligence and commitment on this project has been impressive and a huge benefit to us, especially with me being remote most of the time. Besides the responsiveness and thoroughness in addressing all issues that have arisen, he certainly went above and beyond in assisting us cleaning up the site when we hosted a "floor wetting" party on site for some of our distributors mid project and accommodating all our deliveries and furniture installations in the final stages of the project.

The weekly updates and project plan tracking was great too, so overall it was great working with you guys and hats off to Shane for a phenomenal job."

- Tuan Masterson

"Simply put, development is hard.  What makes it easier is that Burke Construction Group thinks like developers.  They are not building from a set of plans alone, they are solving for the risks that make this business complex.  That alone earns our loyalty and respect while distancing them from most every other contractor."

- Jim Stuart

"During 2023, Burke Special Projects led our Tennant Improvement project for our 183,000 square foot warehouse / office build out. I found the entire Burke team to be extremely talented and professional in their approach, and they were the driving force to getting our project done on time and on budget. One aspect of Burke that I was particularly impressed by was their clarity in communication and the efficiency of the way they ran meetings. This made my job easier. I would have no qualms in recommending Burke Special Projects for future projects."

- Steven Des Champs

"When working with Burke we were mostly amazed by their professionalism and how quickly they finished the job within budget. Burke was attentive to the details and would immediately address and fix any small issues. Everyone on the team from top to bottom was amazing. Team members greeted me on visits to the job site and informed me on the status of the project. Additionally, 6-7 months post project completion, the Burke team has reached out to check in regarding the project and that everything is ok. I was pleasantly surprised by this and really appreciate the quality customer service."

- Michael Merback

"We’ve worked with Jim Colegrove for over 9 years and the Special Projects team has done a majority of our tenant improvement work. Jim’s team is by far the most user friendly, the most realistic when setting expectations and excellent at deciding when to spend and when not to spend. Jim and his team were amazing at navigating through the tough situations as well as diligent and patient when needed. Burke Special Projects consistently exceeds our expectations and are excellent at getting the project completed on time, sorting out building department issues and having minimal change orders. Overall, Jim and the Special Projects team are wonderful to work with!"

- Samantha Dugan

"Our experience, as well as our client’s experience, with Burke was nothing short of top-notch. Always professional, Burke ensured a smooth construction process from start to finish. They were an excellent partner with prompt communication, seamless vendor coordination, and a management style that delivered an overall quality project. I’d be thrilled to work with them again."

- Allison Weatherman

"Urth Caffé in Las Vegas was our first out of state project and it was important to us that we found the right contractor for the job. We were very impressed with Burke and the very strong connection we had with the team, they were the most attentive team, followed up the most and gave us the most information up front. This was one of the fastest build outs of any of our branches and the Burke team worked very hard to stay within budget and schedule. Burke was the driving partner in cutting our budget, and from past experiences that’s rare with a contractor. Overall, we were so impressed with the quality of work from Burke that we hired them for another branch in Southern California. Kade Cole was the superintendent on both projects and has done great work, his tremendous attention to detail and his pride in working with Urth Caffé really makes it feel like we’re all one team. We have a strong relationship with Burke, we love them!"
