“I want to start off by saying what a pleasure it has been to work with Joel Davis Construction during the process of constructing the Oconee County Emergency Services Headquarters. Although in the beginning it proved to be a difficult project because of joining two agencies into one building, Mr. Davis came through and is currently completing it with ease. Joel and his staff have remained on the estimated time schedule and kept work within the proposed budget. Mr. Davis kept himself available to me and my staff at all times during the course of this project and for that we are very appreciative. The Emergency Services Headquarters has become and will continue to be a great asset to the county and its citizens. For that reason, we highly recommend your organization to consider working with Joel Davis Construction in your future endeavors.”

“On behalf of Pickens County, I would like to take this time to express our sincere gratitude for your company’s recent efforts on our construction projects. The Airport Terminal, The T-Hangars, The Keowee Springs Fire Station, and the Department of Social Services were all successful, and timely projects. Your work at the airport has allowed Pickens County to open its doors to clients and businesses that was never possible before. The new Terminal building that you constructed has become the new “front door” to the county. Throughout the construction process, your staff’s attention to detail and standard of quality assured us that our investment was safe in your hands. Since completion of the Terminal and T-Hangars, airport traffic is up and all units are rented. We are excited to have J. Davis Construction returning this year to build our new Corporate Box hangars as well. We have no doubt that they will be just as successful as our previous projects together. I would also like to give you an update on Keowee Springs Fire Department. As the department nears its full year in service, things could not be better. Since your completion of this project, response time to the surrounding area has been significantly reduced, and local residents can now be serviced by a 24-hour manned station. We are sincerely grateful for your hard work and dedication throughout the duration of this project. Your design input and facilitation with other agencies helped speed the project forward, and avoid costly mistakes down the road. The Department of Social Services has also been thrilled with the addition that you completed to their building as well. The added square footage and office space has allowed them to better serve their clientele and has also allowed the staff to work more privately with customers. Please feel free to use me as a reference to any of your potential customers. I would be happy to share with them all of the positive growth that Pickens County has experienced through the hard work of J. Davis Construction. The projects that you have been a part of were completed in a timely, professional, and cost conscious manner, and your commitment to honesty and transparency make your company a pleasure to work with. Thank you again.”

“In September 2008, J. Davis began the construction on a long awaited terminal building at the Pickens County Airport. We felt like J. Davis was the company we wanted to build the new Herb Jones Terminal at the Pickens County Airport. At our pre-construction meeting, we were introduced to Mr. Ben Weeks and Mr. Ray Huston. The project had a completion deadline of June 30, 2009. However, we were handed the keys in March 2009, 90 days ahead of schedule. Ray and his team did an excellent job to keep me informed on what was going on and answered all questions we had. I would highly recommend J. Davis Construction Co.”
Skeets Cooper, Director

“I would like to recommend J. Davis Construction for any of your construction needs. J. Davis had built us a 16 bay hangar at the Anderson Regional Airport and had done an excellent job on the project and were there for any of our other needs. Again, I would highly recommend J. Davis Construction.”

“With the most recent construction project at our church complete, it seems an appreciate time to express our appreciation for a job well done. Our association goes back some time. Your company was first selected through a competitive process to build a free-standing Family Activity Center. That job was completed on time and within budget and we were quite pleased with your work. At all times we have been extremely pleased with the professionalism of your people, as well as your subcontractors. Everyone was always responsive to our concerns and our comments. The quality of this project is a tribute to your professional attention to detail. I believe that I can predict with near certainty that when we build again, we will be calling upon your company once more.”

“The Westminster Fire Department and Oconee County Emergency Services is currently completing a joint venture where both agencies are being housed into one new building inside the City of Westminster. Joel Davis Construction was the contractor that was selected to build our new complex. At just under 25,000 square feet, this complex was not just any old station, and has features to accommodate both agencies for many years to come. From the start to completion, Mr. Davis and his crew have been one of the most professional contractors that I have ever had the opportunity to work with here at Westminster. The crew’s taken great pride in their work and it has shown with the building that has been built for us. Mr. Davis is very passionate in making sure through the entire process that the customer is happy, and pleased with the work and the progress. I would highly recommend your organization and consider looking at Joel Davis Construction for your new project.”

“In the summer of 2005, J. Davis Construction Inc. was handed the task of completing a project previously started for the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office. An aircraft hangar was needed to house a vital piece of equipment used for the service and protection of the citizens of Oconee County, a Bell 206 Helicopter. This project was completed by J. Davis Construction a timely and professional manner. This hangar will provide many useful years of service for our office and the county.”

He works out situations even in difficult circumstances and I honestly feel he is a highly qualified candidate for the construction of any job. Joel built our home and my husband’s pole barn. We are very happy with the results and I feel anyone else would also be proud of his quality workmanship. I feel confident in recommending Joel to anyone that has construction needs and from past experience, Joel would be an outstanding asset to any project.

“In light of your recent construction activities you have requested a performance analysis for referral of J Davis Construction. While Oconee County Building Codes does not give referrals other than statement of fact, I can personally attest to the strong commitment from your company in complying with the codes. Your employees are polite and responsive during permitting and construction. You are in good standing with an unlimited general contractor’s license in South Carolina and have obtained over 120 permits in Oconee County since 2003. I personally appreciate your cooperation and wish you continued success.”
