The Camp Randall project was one of the best, if not the best, projects I have been associated with, from almost all facets. I attribute that directly to your Cullen Smith’s management and execution of the project, your interactions with the owner, and your dealings with your subcontractors… Your firm’s positive approach to the project was not just evident in a few individuals – I felt it from your company’s principals, project managers, superintendents, foremen, and field personnel. I find this to be a rare occurrence, and I believe you should be congratulated for it.

C.D. Smith provided construction services for Alliant Energy, constructing a 30,000 square foot operations center located in Sheboygan.

By using less energy and water, LEED certified buildings save money for families, businesses and taxpayers; reduce green house gas emissions; and contribute to a healthier environment for residents, workers and the larger community.

“The strength of USGBC has always been the collective strength of our leaders in the building industry,” said Rick Fedrizzi, President, CEO & Founding Chair, U.S. Green Building Council. “Given the extraordinary importance of climate protection and the central role of the building industry in that effort, C.D.
