TESTIMONIALS With the holiday season upon us I typically sit back for a moment and reflect on the events of this past year. I have written to you before concerning the dedication and professionalism of your employees and it is appropriate that I repeat that communication today. Looking back throughout this past year I continue to be impressed by all of your employees, but in particular, this year, Al Dion comes to mind. Al consistently demonstrates a high level of professionalism and attention to detail that I have come to recognize as a Ryan Construction trait. In assuming responsibility for the patient room project, Al has clearly worked hard to keep the project on schedule and he continues to work closely with myself, as well as nursing, to ensure all involved are kept up to date. He is respectful of everyone he encounters during his day to day duties here at Faulkner Hospital. Rich, thank you for your continued support, as well as your company and all of your employees. It sure makes my life easier with such talented staff like Al working here at the hospital.
I am writing to you today to extend to you and Ryan Construction a note of appreciation for your two recent projects for Cape Cod Healthcare. As the low bid general contractor, Ryan Construction approached the Physical Therapy renovations at the Fontaine Medical Center in Harwich more as our construction partner than our general contractor. Dan Hulsebosch, Project Manager, and Chris Spillane, Superintendent, communicated clearly and concisely on a daily basis with the facility's administrators and staff to complete the project professionally and on schedule. As the construction manager for renovations to several catherization and imaging suites, Tom Downie, Project Manager, and Clayton Hill, Superintendent, again, impressed our office and Cape Cod Healthcare. The Ryan Construction team managed this sensitive, complex project with clear communications, with sensitivity to patients, staff and the administration, and with professionalism on a daily basis. They provided invaluable insight to solve construction questions as shareholders in the project, and, they completed the work ten days early. On both projects, the approach to the work and the experience of the Ryan Construction teams assured Cape Cod Healthcare and my office that we would have successful projects. We are delighted Cape Cod Healthcare selected Ryan Construction to be the construction manager for renovations to their Breast Center. I would be happy to recommend Ryan Construction for renovations to occupied medical facilities. Mario J. Vieira, AIA

I write this as President of the Boys & Girls Club of Worcester to express my gratitude to Ryan Construction as the general contractor we selected to build our new state-of-the-art Boys & Girls Club in the Main South area of Worcester. This building is the keystone of the Gardner-Kilby-Hammond Neighborhood Revitalization Project, undertaken by the Main South Community Development Corporation, Clark University and the Boys & Girls Club of Worcester. The site was industrial brownfield. We were under a tight schedule from the time final site preparation commenced in April 2005 until the completed building was turned over to the Boys & Girls Club of Worcester in August 2006. The team from Ryan Construction worked closely with our architect and owner's representative to not only move the project along on time and within budget but to identify and expeditiously resolve all the construction related problems, large and small, which tend to arise in a project of this nature. Lines of communication were always open and clear. All members of the team knew where each stood and who was responsible for specific aspects of the project. By doing this, the team from Ryan Construction was a pleasure to work with; we will miss the camaraderie. I would gladly recommend Ryan Construction for serving as general contractor. Erwin H. Miller, President
“Your team met every schedule and quality expectation.” “On this, as on other Ryan jobs, the superintendents have been exemplary; even-tempered, creative and able to make problems go away, making the architect look good. Al had his eye on quality, problem solving and on avoiding extras to the owner. He was truly a key member of the project team. His attitude pulled the project together, and he built a great facility.” “The spirit of collaboration and fairness that Ryan brought to the project made a difficult building and tight schedule into a pleasant construction experience. I look forward to future projects with Ryan Construction.” Paul Farrell, Senior

“I also want to thank you, Richard, for your behind-the-scenes support for this project. Some buildings are long in the coming and require a perseverance and faith to bring them to fruition. Ryan Construction, before, during and after construction was a steadfast partner in a project of which we can all be very proud.” Douglas Coots, Senior
Associate
“Just a note to let you know what an outstanding job Kenny Alcorn and his crew did for us. I am the manager of the clinical laboratory and we are continuously putting out lab results 24 hours per day. Kenny is the most customer sensitive contractor I have ever worked with. In our environment, noise, dust or vibration can cause erroneous results. Kenny tried to minimize these factors and when he couldn’t, we would consistently be alerted so that we could protect the equipment. It is rare to find a dedicated person like Kenny who goes above and beyond the scope of his job on a daily basis. I felt it important to let you know this.” Frank Giacalone
“The Faulkner Hospital has enjoyed an excellent relationship with Ryan Construction for many years, and over a very diverse range of projects. In the past few years a member of your team has consistently stood out as the ultimate professional and in my opinion is a true asset to your company. This team member is Ken Alcorn. Though I have not missed an opportunity to tell you in person during your visits to the hospital, I would like to take this opportunity to formally convey my thoughts and feelings to you.” “How Ken manages the projects is truly amazing to me, and I only wish I had his skill and talent. He always finds a way to get the job done in the most efficient way possible for both Ryan Construction as well as the Faulkner Hospital. On top of that I usually add to his workload with “last minute” requests that he always manages to accomplish, and always with a smile.” Paul Keating
“I would like to share with you my tremendous experience of working with Ryan Construction and the on-site staff members. As the General Manager of Sodexho Campus Services at Bryant College, I am responsible for the Food Service. Over the summer of 2003, two of my dining rooms were under renovation. During this time it was imperative that we had the ability to serve the faculty and staff working at the college and continue our business of servicing the needs of a number of conferences.” “In closing, I just wanted to reiterate how impressed I was with your great staff and how I look forward to working with Ryan Construction in the future.” Shawn P. Monaghan
“This was a particularly demanding and technically difficult project. As a station on the verge of the newest digital television technology, we required a contractor with a strong and professional management team at every stage of this project. Your staff and crews worked diligently and conducted themselves in a professional manner allowing this rebuild to be completed on budget and on time.” “As we continue to utilize your services, I want to acknowledge the excellent job your company has done at WLVI-TV and look forward to working with you again.” Franco LaPietra
“Despite overwhelming odds and a multitude of naysayers, SABIS International Charter School opened its doors on August 28, 2000 to approximately one thousand students, faculty and staff members.” “With the date of this letter, we have completed our first week of academic year 2000-2001, a Herculean effort, and due, in large measure, to David Donato of Ryan Construction. I am compelled to write to you because I believe Mr. Donato’s stewardship of the SABIS project guaranteed a safe, secure opening for the City of Springfield’s most popular public charter school.” Maretta H. Thomsen
“This was the largest construction project in which I had been involved. Past projects led me to believe that it would be a challenging experience and I was preparing myself for the usual finger pointing and cover-ups. I figured I’d be spending much of my time ‘checking up on the contractor.’ However, I found Kenny to be extremely competent and detail oriented. I was impressed with his pursuit of quality and how well he kept us all informed. He handled the stress and somewhat unrealistic deadlines with ease and was able to make much happen in little time. It didn’t take long for me to feel reassured that the project was in good hands.” Susan Langill
“I want to take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work at Brookmeadow. Despite many frustrating complications, your perseverance and commitment to deliver the best quality product made this job turn out great. You’re the “Get It Done” guy! – so valuable in a superintendent. Out of everyone, Betty has you and Dan to thank the most for her extraordinary new facility.” Charles D. Hibbard
“This is the first structure we have built from the ground up. We sought the input of many experienced people and enlisted the expertise to turn our plans into a place.” “Lorraine certainly was instrumental in keeping all of us on track; she had a special way of “handling” matters in an efficient and pleasant manner.” “Through you we would like to express our thanks to both Chris and Lorraine for helping to create an idea on paper to become a reality for ‘going the extra mile’ for Hospice & Palliative Care of Cape Cod, Inc.” Marilyn Hannus, CEO
“I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for Ryan Construction’s involvement in Trammell Crow’s project. From the first meetings at Trammell Crow Company’s offices in Boston with the client, the entire project team displayed integrity and professionalism in the coordination of a challenging project schedule and scope. In fact, Ryan Construction not only accepted this challenge, but also successfully completed the project on schedule, making the extra effort when required to rally subcontractors and vendors.” “I look forward to a continued relationship with the entire Ryan Construction team.” David M.
