drive the company to perform consistently above the client’s budget
and scheduling expectations. Dick is at the forefront of establishing
and maintaining solid client relationships which has been critical to
AOW’s continued success. Dick strongly believes AOW’s responsibility

thoughtfully conceived and executed.
Dick’s professional experience in all phases of design and construction

ultimately delivered. Dick takes pride in the extreme attention to
detail paid to every project, regardless of size or purpose, which has

promoting continuous and open communication throughout the
project team and assumes an active role with each project AOW
undertakes.
Dick’s experience with a wide range of projects allows AOW to
anticipate potential concerns and provide alternatives at every phase
of the project. Dick has performed projects for medical, senior care,

providers, public works and urban revitalization entities, projects
involving historical renovations, office space projects, and a variety of
interesting other projects of note.
Dick’s range of work and client list is extensive; whether building or
renovating large-scale Emergency, Surgery, Intensive Care, or Patient
Care space, or renovating historical living space for the City of Albany,
or building new corporate headquarters for an international high-tech
firm, or adding on and renovating a community church, Dick’s
commitment to quality, schedule, and budget remains unchanged.
AOW is proud to associate its name with every project we complete.
