  “We work hard to put the best teams together for our clients, and that includes having the best subcontractors and tradespeople on our projects. We expect more than just getting the job done on time and for a good price – we expect our trade partners to look out for us and our customers and to work in the best interest of the project. On the Hebrew Academy Project, Wallworks achieved these expectations. The project included some complex geometry of the walls and ceilings, and Wallworks sat down with us, the architects at KSS and the owner to work out the details. They were great at coming up with solutions to problems and communicating their ideas. The end product is of high quality and is something we can all be proud of. This was my first project with Wallworks and I look forward to working with them again.”
