<br />Re. Midland Engineering
<br />Cathedral of Saint Paul
<br />Dinningham, Alabama
<br />Exterlor Restoration and RoUReplaterlient
<br />To Whom It May Concern;
<br />11 Is with, great pleasure that I submit (his letter of recojnrneadationIli behalf of Midland
<br />Engineering Couipany, Our rmn was fortunate to have them oil our tem"i for the rostomflon of
<br />The Cathedral of Saint Paul, which is located in the heart of downtomi Birmingham
<br />Alabama. The Cathedral, built in 1893, Is a stunning example of Victoritul Gothic
<br />Architecture and It Is a treasured landmark in Cite Birmingham community. one of tile rially
<br />challenges associated with renovating a historlo landmark Is flading (earn mcnibm that view
<br />the project as more than Just another project, Rather, to be succossM with a project of this
<br />nature, you need partners that understand and approciale the significance of the structure, and
<br />share the sarne respect and love for the buildhig as do time parishioners and staff". I arn pIc,Ascd
<br />to say thot Midland Engineering fits this description perfectly, it was upoarerg to all involvecl
<br />from the onset of the project that Midland'sstiff was oonanlited to excellence, an(I genuinely
<br />eared about the riceds and concerns of those who worship and serve wilhin the walls of this
<br />magnificent building on as daily basis, Speaking as a Gcneral Conlractor, the value of this type
<br />of partner calmot be qualillfied, Furtherriore, I am confident, that if asked, The architecl,
<br />irmilsler, parlstiloriers, and many Others associate(] with this project would share my sfunc,
<br />view.
<br />In ndditian to theh' understanding and respect of tho building arid what It represents,
<br />Midland"$ comillittlients, to quality, safety, schedule, and overall success of time project were
<br />unparalleled, As the project progressed, tile experlenco, 10lowlefte and proactlyc attitude of
<br />Midland's team proved to be an invaluable asset to our firm, as well its to the architectural
<br />dtslgo teatli. Day to day issues that were encountered Ili the, riald were easily resolved with
<br />ellfier a quick chat with their ollsito supervision, or a phone call to their project management
<br />team,, Ili illy 25 years of exparlonc4 In the construction Industry, I have found It to be very rare
<br />Mat an archilect will respond to field related issues and questions with "whot does your sub
<br />(Unk we should do?" To ma, this' type of response Is confirmation that the design tvain had
<br />absolute trust that Midland would provide solutions that were to the benefit of tile overaIl
<br />success of the project, not just simply suggest soludons, That WeIT only In the best Interesli of
<br />Midland,
<br />In slarallary, my positive Oxporlonco with Midland Engineering was second to none. Although
<br />illy 111,110 with their group Is firliked to one project; I feel confident sharing Illy higilem
<br />recommendation to allyone that MRY be filtOWled in 11101r SCIVICOS, Typically I would be
<br />hesitant with sluiring such high pralse for an oyganimilon with Which I have find such limited
<br />experience. However, In this case, I have no doubts that their performancti oil our project was
<br />a reflection ofan overall culture within their organization that will not settle for liverilge,
<br />Please feellllreetoc ittacl tale should you have any questions.
