Jim Valade, Project Manager, Siemens Real Estate, had this to say in an email about CFS' work on Siemens Medical Solutions in Cary, a $35 million office complex:
"CFS is probably the most professional and efficient service delivery vendor that I've worked with in my 25 years in this business. Their experience and bandwidth are incomparable, and I would venture to say parallel with a firm 10 times their size. I have not posed a question or issue that hasn't been answered or solved, usually much quicker than expected. Every request, no matter how trivial...is treated with the utmost diligence and importance and carried out to my satisfaction and beyond. It is a joy to work with a firm that not only delivers unbeatable service but is also able to save its customers time and money in the process. In the demanding, frenetic pace of commercial development, Tim's [and his staff's] demeanor never changes. You never hear or see any anxiety, trepidation or impatience in their employees. They are always courteous, timely, friendly and ethical. Tim Wilson actually toured a newly relocated executive through Cary neighborhoods on a Friday evening house-hunting excursion!"
John Cramer, CEO/Partner, TriSure, shared these thoughts during a recent interview about his company's experience with CFS during a 16,300 square-foot expansion of TriSure Insurance in Raleigh:
"We were able to stay in our building during an extensive expansion that spanned nearly four months, and never missed one day of work. CFS accommodated us totally. We are in a business of insurance and bonding, so we absolutely cannot be down at all during working hours. I have never had an experience with a contractor who accommodated us so totally. Their work was excellent, and Dan Frye did a particularly good job meeting with us and communicating with us. He is just one heck of a person to work with. He not only solved problems, he stayed ahead of problems, which was really a result of their excellent planning. The entire team exemplified what it is like to put the client first. They worked nights, and the place was spotless the next day. Any time we needed anything, they totally accommodated us. The entire experience ‘wowed' me. It's hard to have such an extensive, complicated experience like an office expansion, maintain your business and operations and have no problems or issues, but that's what we encountered. It could not have been any easier or any better."
“From important input within the design process to solving IT challenges, CFS came through for us. We had a complex facility project that had to be completed while our business continued to operate with minimal business interruption. We simply could not afford to lose momentum in a tough retail environment, and we certainly did not want to lose our hard-earned customer base. The construction was expertly planned and was phased skillfully to maximize resources. Possibly the most important decision we made on our project was to retain CFS.”
Fred Anderson, President, Fred Anderson Toyota
“Tim Wilson and Corporate Facility Services are providing the North Carolina Museum of Art Foundation with extensive project management support as we begin work on our new building and various renovations on our campus. Tim and his company are responsible for managing all phases of the construction process, master scheduling and oversight of contractors and sub-contractors. One reason we selected Tim is because of his experience and reputation for keeping large-scale construction projects on track, without disrupting day-to-day operations, which are critical in maintaining the services of a state museum of art. Tim’s expertise is already proving invaluable as we begin working with architects and contractors on the new building.”
Dan Gottlieb, Deputy Director for Planning and Design, NC Museum of Art
“When it comes to renovating or rebuilding out new space in an occupied building, I would highly recommend Corporate Facility Services for construction management and general contracting services. They understand what it takes from a building ownership perspective to get the job done in accordance with cost, budget and functional performance objectives while also minimizing the impact to ongoing business operations.”
Mark Skiff, PE, CFM, Director, WPR East Coast, Network Appliance

Dan Warmenhoven, CEO, Network Appliance
“When you hire CFS, you’re getting much more than a moving company. The staff was very knowledgeable, and the move was well-planned and well-organized. It truly was an investment in peace of mind for us. It was one of the best decisions we made.”
Brian C. Allen, President, Precision Walls
“Corporate Facility Services provides Network Appliance with invaluable, reliable on-site staff support in the area of facility management services.
