  • “Cait will approach a project like she is running it herself during the preconstruction phase; this allows her to ensure all aspects of the project are covered. Cait engages with subcontractors early in the preconstruction process to vet their capabilities and select the best team for the project. Building relationships is part of her DNA.”

    Carrie Myers , Vice President at Craftsmen Business Interiors

  • "I met Cait about a year ago at a site walk for a project she was managing. I remember that specific site walks because it had been one of the better site walk experiences I ’ ve had – She was high energy, friendly, and her communication leading up to the walk and after was ON POINT!"

    - Danielle Galimidi , National Service Account Manager & Fire Protection Resource for Mission Critical Facilities at ORR

  • “ I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Cait for about 10 years now and appreciate the hard work and determination she has displayed throughout the years. Her courage and passion for her customers, her colleagues and industry peers — or even the task at hand makes her such an asset. She takes opportunities and tackles them head on and gets it done! I enjoy every opportunity I must work with her and look forward to her future successes!! - Shannon Conrady , Director of Marketing/IT at Storage Structures Inc."

  • "Cait and I worked together for just over a year with an Atlanta GC in precon. She was quite knowledgeable of the market and extremely quick. Great with details, developing tools to track job requirements and communicating with the contractors. Methodical and organized. She wants to learn and can pick up and understands, projects, and trades she is not as familiar with. She runs circles around most estimators I have worked with over the years. Would not hesitate to work with her again"

    • Steven Losie - Preconstruction Manager/Construction Manager/Owners Rep

  • "Cait is one of the most under - appreciated workers I ’ ve seen and as about as good as it gets with preconstruction. Not only dependable but exceeding expectations with every task or in this, estimates and bids. She lights up an office with good moral and humor. She stands out in a male dominated industry as a professional where she outperforms her peers and superiors. Cait is taking the initiative by filling the gap of the lack of leadership the construction with the up - and - coming generations. Companies will be the most fortunate with someone like Cait on their executive team"

    • Sam Cole - Construction Management

  • "I would heartily recommend Cait Lowe as a valuable asset to any Management team - she has proven to be a dedicated, initiative taking, near unstoppable force on her projects as well in her life in general. Cait is one of the highly admirable women in the Construction Industry who, in so many cases, must greatly outwork their male counterparts to achieve the same results and respect. And she has earned mine! She ensures she has an in - depth understanding of the projects she is involved with, and she also is adept at the means of making those successful and any firm would be very fortunate to have her on their team. I would heartily recommend Cait Lowe as a valuable asset to any Management team - she has proven to be a dedicated, initiative taking, near unstoppable force on her projects as well in her life in general."

    • Terry Williams - Project Manager Project

  • "Having worked with Cait on several jobs in the pre - construction phase, she ’ s been tremendously helpful (and fun to work with). As a subcontractor, it ’ s helpful to have Cait work with us as she always knows the in - and - outs of the design documents and the intricacies of the site and logistics. She always has the tangibles to help set up a job so we can get off to great start. In addition, Cait has lots of intangibles that ensure formation of a good team; the ability to articulate expectations and goals as well as a clear sense of how all the trades should work together. And not to be overlooked, Cait ’ s sense of humor helps everyone through the tense moments that sometimes come with the pre - construction process"
