I’ve worked with NEC on multiple projects throughout RI. They have an excellent reputation with a 35-year history of performing projects in this area. They have a strong subcontractor base and these relationships aid in putting together an appropriate team that can effectively manage costs, quality and scheduling. NEC is both proactive and responsive in identifying and solving potential risks.
