This is definitely a team that is high on my list."

He's a pleasure to work with."
John Saccardi, AICP -- Principal, Saccardi & Schiff
"I have been involved with development, design, construction, purchase and sale of water and sewer utilities in the Northeastern United States for the past thirty-three years. During this time, I have worked with many professionals from all different related fields and have determined that consistently and without question, the most difficult profession is the one that is responsible for taking an idea and making it reality. The idea of taking a piece of raw land and blending the necessary creativity, temperament, understanding and tenacity to shepherd it through the entire design and entitlements stage is a daunting task, not to mention getting it all built! Kevin McManus and Chris DeThomas have been the two most tenacious and hard-working individuals who I have personally witnessed perform all of the many tasks to take multiple projects from concept to full functioning communities. They are something special."
