“Pankow was
a pleasure to work with from the onset.
Their thorough, professional style coupled with their expertise
and knowledge of the industry made choosing them pretty easy.
All things considered, they offered the best overall plan in
terms of value, design, image, and timeliness.
I would certainly recommend them to anyone looking at
design/build projects for their business.”

experience with Jim Pankow, Inc. throughout our 36,000 square foot
building project was totally positive. The resulting facilities
fit our needs and will serve us well into the future. The
‘guaranteed maximum price’ feature and the company’s willingness
to work with our volunteers made for a strong team approach. Our

Lutheran Church & School, I want to express our appreciation for the 2.5
years we worked together. Our two-phased $3.1M expansion project

“On behalf of St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran
Church and our building committee, I would like to officially express
our sincere thanks to everyone at Jim Pankow, Inc. for their outstanding
service and work product. Of course, in our initial planning stages,
apprehension on the part of our members entrusting a $1.4 million
building project to the right contractor was very evident. I am very
pleased to say that our building committee certainly made the right
decision in choosing Jim Pankow, Inc. Our new worship facility is
beautiful! - we are very happy with the results.”
Edward H. Wilger ~ President
St. Johns Ev. Lutheran Church - Newburg, WI
“Jim Pankow and JPI as a company, we are happy
that we decided to build with JPI and have the feeling that your were
truly interested in our project from beginning to end, not just make the
sale and hardly see you after that. I know when I would meet you, your
receptionist or any of your staff on site or in your office, you always
made me feel welcome and attended to any concerns that I might have.
Thanks Jim and I will recommend your company every chance I can and wish
you the best. You have a great group of people working for you. Many
thanks for all you have done and putting up with all our volunteers,
most contractors frown on that or make it miserable.”

“I am
extremely happy with our decision to hire Pankow for the design and
construction of our new industrial building.
Prior to signing the contract we defined some very tight
scheduling demands for the completion of the building – your company
said it could be done. Working
through very tough weather conditions your team still delivered.
I am happy to report that Pankow was able to turn the building
over to us a full two weeks prior to our deadline.
This is exceptionally impressive given our mid-project
customer-driven changes. Your
staff has a ‘what can I do to exceed your expectations’ attitude.”

experience with Jim Pankow Inc. They treated us as though we were their
largest, most important customer, and that our building was their number
one priority. It is that sentiment that makes Jim Pankow Inc. stand out
in our mind.”

“I am very
happy we chose to work with Pankow on our recent building addition.
From early planning, through design and construction the process
went smoothly. This was a
complicated addition because of the existing building’s layout, but
the architects did a great job under these conditions.
Potential issues were identified early and handled with
professionalism. The jobsite
superintendent advised us of construction activities days in advance,
which gave us time to make the necessary adjustments in our day-to-day
operations. Overall the
project went great and I can’t think of a single negative comment.”
Jeff Tauschek ~ Police Chief

“I would like to thank you and your team for
your cooperation with the Plymouth Gateway Project. The multi tenant
building, such as this, is a challenge by itself due to the different
and individual needs everyone has. It was very important that we were
both flexible in our approach of designing and constructing the
building. We did well. We have worked together since 1997 on numerous
projects and I am glad that we came together on this project as well.
Well, lets see what is next.”

“I waited two years to write a letter of recommendation because during our planning stage we talked to many people that went through a building project. Most had horror stories to tell about their building experience. These included everything from the architects, the contractors, the sub-contractors, the final building cost, and the follow-up work that was to be done. Once we were in the building, I kept waiting for all these problems to occur, but they never did. On behalf of Gibbsville Implement, Inc., its owners and employees, I want to thank Jim Pankow, his supervisors and craftsmen and anyone else associated with our project for their outstanding work and would recommend your company to anyone thinking about a building project in the future.”

In the short time since the remodeling was finished, several thousand new customers are shopping at that Q Mart.”

Inc. and their subcontractors for a job well done on our new office
building. We moved into our building a month ago and we are very happy
with the result. Throughout the project the people from Pankow and
their subcontractors were very cooperative and helpful. The
construction schedule was very tight and a lot of coordination and
cooperation was required between all of the trades. I know this took a
great deal of effort and tried people’s patience but from my perspective
it was handled perfectly and the schedule was held. Everyone handled
themselves as true professionals.”
