"I worked with ML on a large project turning an industrial building into a community center. ML was involved from the planning stage, design and build to suit. The process was a pleasure every step of the way. The weekly construction meetings and updates were timely and most helpful to make the project a success. 3 years after the project is completed I am still in contact with ML, they are a great team to work with."
