David Anderson, Anderson Property Management

"I can’t imagine any other contractor pulling off the technically complicated construction with tenants in their spaces like Doug Mellinger and his team did… Doug Mellinger has become my general contractor for all my buildings, and he is now the one who does all of the tenant Improvement work for incoming dentists at 306 Walnut Ave."

Phil Hodgkinson, GM, Blue Ocean Real Estate Management

"They were able to work miracles with the time schedule we threw at them, adjusted their work schedule as to not interrupt our key season of product development for a crucial customer, all while hitting the construction target dates along the way… If any construction needs arise in our San Diego office in the future, First Mark will receive the phone call from us asking for their help. I wish they had an office in Fort Collins."
