I just wanted to send you a quick email regarding our project. Honestly, it's been amazing! For 2 years people have been telling me what a headache it's going to be, how many problems we'll hit, and how much more it's going to cost. It's going better than I could have ever imagined. Yes we've had changes (most of them from me!), but Colin Logue, Brad Poindexter, and all the subs I've met have been wonderful. I can't say enough good things about Colin and Brad.

People who have worked with P.J. Hoerr before ask me whose on our project. Whenever I mention Brad Poindexter, every single one of them says that he is the best in the area at what he does. I'm told how lucky we are to have him on our project.

Thanks for taking on our little project and giving me such great guys to work with!

Hoopeston IGA - Hoopeston, IL

Client Testimonial

"I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the quality of work your team provided for our Hoopeston IGA remodel project. Bryan Schaffer and Mark Bazzell did an outstanding job of coordinating the project and kept everything moving in a positive direction through the entire construction schedule. Mark, as you know, was on site daily and was on top of every detail from start to finish. As issues arose, he was quick to respond and always had a list of potential solutions to propose prior to bringing the problem forward. He quickly became a “member of the team” at the store and many of our staff there have stated they are sorry they won’t be seeing him around as much from now on. It has truly been a pleasure to work with both Bryan and Mark and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome."

Some, but perhaps not enough people recognize the great partnership Kirk Anderson (Vice President), Scott Fehr (Project Manager) and Les Koehl (Project Superintendent) have forged between P.J. Hoerr and Komatsu. Another important milestone has been achieved, the successful completion of Komatsu's EDT Parts Warehouse. This is a result of what we have accomplished together through your hard work and dedication.

Thanks to all of you.

Advocate BroMenn Regional Medical Center | Lab Relocation - Normal, IL

Client Testimonial

Greetings P.J. Hoerr Team,

I wanted to send a message to let you know how pleased I am with the outcome of the Lab relocation project that was recently completed and occupied at Advocate BroMenn Medical Center. As you know, this project proved to be a challenging one from an occupancy perspective considering the amount of equipment to be placed in the new space and the fact that operations could not cease while the move occurred. In all, over 209 pieces of new lab equipment were installed and 181 pieces of existing lab equipment were relocated. The move was virtually seamless and was completed well ahead of where we had targeted. The goal was to have all operations shifted to the new space no later than 3:00 pm on the day of the move. We accomplished this by 1:00 pm. By 2:30 pm, the lab was turning results around in less than an hour, their normal targeted timeframe.

I mention all of this because A LOT of work had to take place in advance for this to occur. Three years of planning, design, and most importantly, construction, culminated in this wonderful experience. P.J. Hoerr played a monumental part in making this a reality. I am very pleased with the project we delivered and the manner in which it was completed. I am particularly proud of our collective initiative to utilize virtual construction, specifically Building Information Modeling (BIM), to streamline this project and experience the advantages we did in schedule, quality, and budget, especially given the challenges presented from working in an existing space with several limitations. I would like to commend Paul Bright in particular for addressing this challenge head-on and fully embracing the BIM process from start to finish. His leadership proved incredibly valuable in this regard. Craig Smith absolutely amazed me with his knowledge, expertise, and tactfulness in assisting the subcontractors in the BIM process and managing the model. BIM, as with most new processes, is sometimes met with resistance and I believe that Craig was a wonderful ambassador for our project in mitigating this effect. He is one of the most versatile individuals I have met in the construction industry and should be considered a major asset to your company. I truly believe that P.J. Hoerr has some significant potential in effectively integrating BIM into projects and we will certainly continue to do so on ours moving forward. We have already started to reap the benefits of this tool and I feel we’ve only scratched the surface.

I would also like to thank Mike Kreutz for his leadership as he became involved toward the latter half of the project. Mike is an experienced professional that understands our project delivery model and is one of our best advocates (no pun intended). He constantly looks out for the owner’s best interest and I always a have a certain comfort level when he’s involved on our projects. This one was no exception.

Brian Meyers did an amazing job of managing this project toward the very end into occupancy. His commitment to customer service is unmatched and I look forward to working with him in the future.

There is one individual in particular that I would like to recognize that I believe is the major contributing factor in making our projects so successful. That person is  Brad Poindexter. Brad has proven to be an invaluable resource to Advocate Health Care over the years and never has this proven more true for this project. Brad kept this one on the tracks and heading in the right direction from pre-construction through occupancy. His role as Project Superintendent was certainly challenging but he never wavered in making sure our expectations were met. Brad made sure we were aware of the constructability issues that were presented as the schedule progressed and made sure decisions were made in a timely manner. He also showed his collaborative skills in working with the design team to come up with solutions. It’s rare to see the architect and superintendent have such a good relationship on a project. It all comes down to one word: Trust. We TRUST Brad more than anyone else running our work because he always has our interests in mind as if they were his own. I am honored to work side by side with him and hope to do so for many years to come. 

Thank you again for proving to be such a great partner for us. I sincerely appreciate you making my job so much easier and enjoyable. I think we would be hard-pressed to find another team that does what we do so well. I look forward to working with the P.J. Hoerr team on many, many, more projects in the years to come. Congratulations on a job well done!

As we look forward to celebrating Thanksgiving, I wanted to let you know how thankful I am that Max Dirker and Brian Eddy were on our project.

Max has done an exceptional job leading a project with tight deadlines and extraordinary challenges. He’s been a calming but direct project leader, making sure to quickly identify things that could have easily delayed the project. In addition, Max has done a great job of identifying cost-savings and operational efficiencies.

And Brian has done an extraordinary job of managing the onsite challenges that we have presented to him with professionalism and humor. He has really done a great job of managing our priorities, vendors and challenges.

Thank you again for everything you’ve done to make our project successful. We’re really looking forward to the move in!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Bob & Paul,
Enjoyed reading the article in yesterday’s Peoria Journal Star on your celebration of 100 years! As I read the article I had to think of how great your organization is at making their customers feel cared for as well as the quality of work that you do. The article highlighted some of the major work your organization has done……significant projects. In spite of the major projects you have done, you have always made us feel important to you even though our projects are significantly smaller. Thanks for the years of service and professional work you have done for us and congratulations on reaching the 100 year mark!! I am confident that P.J. Hoerr will continue to grow and do well because of how you operate!

Client Testimonial

As the owner representative for Knox College, it has not only been a privilege to work with, but an honor to be part of the "A" team on the Alumni Hall project.

As with this project and all other projects they have done on Campus, they have always brought the best professional staff possible.

I would like to thank everyone within the P.J. Hoerr firm for a job well done.

Client Testimonial

"Two years ago, our 128-member church made a decision to renovate our lower level Sunday school classrooms to bring them up-to-date and make them feel less “dungeony” (white cinder block walls, mismatched floor tiles, water stains on the drop ceiling, cold and damp…you get the picture!) Unfortunately, making the decision and actually acting on it didn’t happen within the same time frame.

Then the tornado of November 2013 happened and we knew what God was calling us to do: finish the lower level classrooms, install showers, and get ready to become a host site for out-of-town mission workers. When we contracted with P.J. Hoerr to complete our project, we knew that we were going to be getting quality workmanship. The workers were respectful of our property and staff, precise with their construction, and timely in completion. When we step back to look at the lower level now, it’s hard to even believe it’s the same space. All signs of the “dungeon” are gone. With new walls, carpet, ceiling, and best of all MORE LIGHT, we are so proud to be able to show off our classrooms. We cannot wait to welcome mission workers into these rooms to enjoy what P.J. Hoerr has helped us achieve!"

Mr. Hoerr

It has been such a blessing to work with the staff of P.J. Hoerr on both building projects of Calvary United Methodist Church. With John Moses at the helm, ably assisted by Max Dirker, we had a remarkably positive experience with the recently completed Phase II addition. Their knowledge, expertise and overall professionalism was of great value to us throughout the project in ways too numerous to mention. We are extremely pleased with the new facility and know it will be a valuable addition to our ministry for years to come.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the work of Brian Eddy, site superintendent. Brian was a joy to work with, and being on site every day of construction, he came into contact with numerous church employees and members. Brian was always helpful and responsive; a real asset to your organization and to the building activity at Calvary.

Thanks again for your partnership in building up His kingdom.
