Client Testimonials
We work with many great clients, architects and subcontractors. Here are some good things they are saying about our relationship with them.
I have had the pleasure of working with the Skyward Construction Team on several very challenging projects. Skyward was instrumental in keeping the construction costs of our projects within the allotted budget as well as developing a reasonable schedule that met the needs of the school district. It is without hesitation that I would recommend Skyward construction to others and I look forward to opportunities to work with them again in the future.
Joe Steinbrenner – Facilities Director – Washougal School District
Skyward staff worked closely with our staff and were able to work around any specific issues we had.
They also had recommendations that met our needs to ensure that the budget and schedule were met. I would be happy to work with Skyward Construction, Inc. again in the future.
Skyward Construction’s collaborative efforts with the A/E team and great communication with me
helped the project be successful. I highly recommend Skyward Construction, Inc.
Skyward brought the teamwork, skill, transparency, and accountability needed and proved able to adapt to a variety of challenges along the way. I believe Skyward can complete any future projects that are
challenging and complex and do so successfully.
Sharon Raymor, PE – Facilities Project Manager – City Of Portland
Skyward performed professionally on all levels – Communication with a large project team, high construction quality/standards and meeting project schedules on time.
Typical of summer season school projects, the project had to be substantially complete
prior to the start of the pending school year. Skyward managed 5 different sites and was able
to complete the projects on time. We look forward to working with Skyward Construction again and recommend them for any project you need their services on.
Skyward’s on-site and off-site management is of extraordinary value. They know the process
and instinctively know the priorities. Their “we are a team” approach immensely helps PPS
manage our projects. This tact is greatly appreciated.
From the perspective as the person responsible for the design, Skyward was always
well organized from the day they started the project. We are convinced this effort led to the timely completion and within budgeted costs.
As an architect with over 30 years of experience in the industry, I can say without
hesitation that Skyward and their people make the process of construction
enjoyable.
Skyward’s management and field staff managed to keep the project on schedule with minimal change orders. They are well managed, organized, and take care of their client’s needs.

“Skyward definitely understood the “team approach” to the project and was a “team player” when it came to meeting the owners budgets and schedules while still maintaining the integrity of the project design”

“The success of any construction project depends in large measure on the team and the team’s ability to communicate and work collaboratively. We knew going into the project, based on past experiences with Skyward, that the management team and construction crews were seasoned professionals. Based on their performance the project finished on time and was ready for the new students returning. Their service to PPS was excellent.”
“Two things that strongly stood out with Skyward was their genuine concern for the customer and their proactive approach to eliminate or reduce change orders.”
– City of Vancouver
The project, being a renovation of a 1940’s building, provided some interesting and challenging conditions that had to be dealt with during the course of construction. Each time, the design team was able to work with Skyward Construction to come up with a quick and cost effective solution so that we could keep the construction progress moving forward. Through all of the challenges that the project presented, Skyward Construction was able to keep the project on track with regards to timing and schedules.”
