"I was able to see first hand, how a first rate company like Shaw&Sons meets the unique challenges presented to them on a demanding project such as 2000 Avenue of the Stars. The commitment to deliver the best possible Architectural Concrete was exhibited by every member of Shaw&Sons team.

Your team led by Bill Moser, Javier Garcia and Mike Nolan not only got the job done on time, but also was very helpful when asked to contribute their ideas in solving field condition design issues. It is rare to find such knowledgeable people in today's construction market.

Finally, the innovative systems Shaw&Sons brings to a project is exhibited in the realization of our design intent on 2000 Avenue of the Stars. Your unique forming system of splining all plywood joints resulted in a completely seamless appearance of all cast-in-place walls. As always, we are again impressed by the incredible beauty of Lithocrete paving and are amazed at how well it enhanced all the exterior stairways."
