To whom it may concern,

Cedar Ridge Christian Church began our building project with very high standards. We wanted a facility that could serve the community and our church at the same time. We dreamed of a place that would operate as a community center during the week and a worship center on Sunday. We desired a facility that could be multi-functional in almost every space. We demanded aesthetic excellence, low maintenance, durability, and architectural interest. And of course we wanted all this at “rock bottom” pricing.

Bowden Contracting was chosen as our design/build general contractor by our construction committee, which was made up of experienced and demanding individuals. Dan Bowden’s knowledge of construction and direct involvement in the project proved to be invaluable. Bowden has been a standout contractor in numerous regard. But there have been three exceptional qualities in working together with Bowden Contracting:

  1. Communication-at every point in the process, Dan Bowden, Bill Wohlleber, and the Bowden staff communicated important and timely information. Our Cedar Ridge Team was able to make important decisions with advance notice. We were well informed of the construction schedule and the next phase of construction. Information pertaining to subcontractors and materials were prepared and presented with plenty of time to make wise choices.
  2. Relationship-throughout the project, it was apparent to Cedar Ridge that Dan Bowden and his team took pride in their project. We developed a relationship that extended beyond “working relationship”. We felt at several junctures, that Bowden went beyond the “bottom line” to insure that we were happy with the project. Because of that relationship, we have never questioned the integrity, honesty, and dependability of Bowden Contracting.
  3. Satisfaction-our completed facility has exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning of the selection process to the completion of the construction, Bowden has delivered on what they promised. 

Cedar Ridge Christian Church began our project with very high standards. Today we have an interesting, attractive, multifunctional facility with a coffee shop, 28 foot climbing wall, children’s play zone, classrooms, and gymnasium/auditorium. And all of this as a gorgeous compliment to the adjoining park. Today we have a facility that serves well both the community and our church. Bowden Contracting met our high standards and brought to life our ideas in a way that makes all of us proud.

Dear Sirs,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your company for the fine job done in constructing our new church building. 

From the very beginning of the project we felt confidence in your leadership and oversight.  We appreciated your open communication and honesty as well as a concern for our own budget limitations.

I would also like to make special mention of your “job superintendent” Mr. Leo Wecker. Leo was excellent to work with and constantly showed patience with us and a personal concern for the project itself.

We would be more than happy to recommend you and your company and employees at any opportunity.  Thanks again and we hope to work with you in the future.

Sincerely,
Thomas P. Manz

To whom it may concern,

I am writing this letter of reference in regards to Bowden Contracting Company.

In 1997, we entered into a contract with Bowden Contracting Company to build us a 12,000 square foot facility that would serve as our new offices and 600 seat sanctuary. Their ability to work with us in the design of the building made the construction of the facility run smooth. They completed the project ahead of schedule and under budget. We found the entire staff of workers to be cooperative and pleasant to work with.

We were so satisfied with phase 1 that we requested Bowden Contracting Company to build our next phase in 2001 which is a 4,500 square foot multipurpose room and office area. Again, they completed the work ahead of schedule and to our satisfaction.

Since the completion of the facilities the Bowden Contracting Company continues to be helpful and cooperative in the upkeep of our buildings.

If we can serve to you or answer any questions concerning your project please call us.

Respectfully,

R. Joe Smith, DMin
Senior Pastor, Crossroads Church

Dear Dan,

On behalf of Westside Family Church let me tell you how much we’ve enjoyed working with you as our contractor for the first phase development of our church site. We’ve been in the building for the past two weeks and are so pleased to have a new church home!

Our building team spoke well of the way you and Joe Lampen have worked with our team to put together a plan that works for our individual needs as a church. You’ve demonstrated a wonderful attention to detail, carefulness about staying within budget, and a patient cooperative spirit as you have worked with our volunteers.

We hired you because we believed you demonstrated a great work ethic, a commitment to integrity and an interest in doing what was best for us as a church family. We have not been disappointed.

I know the community has watched with amazement the speed that our project has been completed. No doubt that can only be attributed to solid planning by all parties involved and excellent site management by you and Keith.

Thank you for helping make our dream of a new church home become a reality. We look forward to talking with you in future about additional phases of building.

Sincerely,

Dave Cox, Senior Pastor
