"I had the pleasure of working with Larson Construction Co., Inc on the new University of Iowa Art and Art History Building.  The referenced project is one of the most difficult and challenging projects I have ever been involved with.  The Art and Art History building is a product of architect Steven Holl.  It contains his vision of light porosity, natural materials and openness which in the final product is a stunning display of art and architecture.

Larson Construction Co., Inc., the General Contractor for the project, assigned two engineers who displayed professional demeanor and positive attitude throughout the project.  The details of the project were significant and difficult; Larson Construction rose to the challenge and with the support and mentoring of Ed Larson, the result is a successful project."

"Larson Construction Company embraced the uniqueness and accompanying challenges this prototype facility presented.  Their positive attitude, endless persistence, and follow through on all details resulted in our state of the art dementia care community.
Not only was it a joy to work with such professional people at Larson, but the end result exceeded our expectations.  This was our second experience with Larson Construction.  Prior to MeadowView was RidgeView Assisted Living.  In fact because we are so pleased we plan to utilize Larson Construction for our final campus expansion."

"I have been negotiating construction projects with Larson Construction, Inc. since 1984.    Ed Larson and his employees are the best people with whom I have ever worked.  They help me with budgeting and meeting budget during construction.  I like them to be involved from the start of the design.  Unless dictated by a client, I won’t use another construction company for my commercial work."

"They worked well with the subcontractors and too great pride in their work. The workers always kept a clean work site and the site supervisor and office staff continuously kept and open line of communication with our school district and the architect to ensure things went smoothly. The success of projects is mostly a result of the leadership of the contractor involved. Because the staff at LCCI took care of things in a proactive manner and behind the scenes it eliminated a lot of problems that can be experienced in a typical construction setting. I give them my highest recommendation."
