Valued Partnership
Greg, Lyle, Scott, Jim and Collins Team, Thank you for all your contributions and collaboration in 2025! Our team values Collins' ability to execute time and again — rolling with the chaos that growth brings. Looking forward to more success together in 2026. Happy New Year!
Safety Excellence
During recent work, Aaron identified a serious hazard and immediately stopped work to raise the concern. His quick, proactive response helped prevent potential damage to both people and property and showed excellent situational awareness. Aaron’s actions are a great example of the safety mindset and craftsmanship Entegris values on site.
Outstanding Workmanship
… I did my punch walk for both the main building and the outbuildings. I just wanted you to know that everything looked fantastic! You guys did a great job and clearly take great pride in your workmanship! I hope there are more sites we can team up on in the future!
lucky to have them
I wanted to let you know I appreciate Charlie and Owen on campus. Charlie was a huge asset to this project and provided great value to its success, and Owen did an exceptional job communicating and coordinating with the UST facilities team. I value their approach, work ethic, and the overall personality they bring each day. It is a pleasure working with Charlie and Owen, and Collins is lucky to have them.
A successful job
Vic, Corey, and Dan were instrumental in the success of this job. Their preparation of the electrical configuration for the near complete draining of the melter was exemplary. The success of the final main power connections shows their knowledge of their field and the operation of the melter. We would not have had this success without their efforts.
Amazing response
We had a power outage last night. The ground water pumps tripped out and the OEC vault filled up with water, blowing the main fuse. Jim responded to Dan Hoffmann’s call and came in last night to help restore power. I have a lot of respect for his quick response and appreciate having him and Collins servicing our campus.
Trustworthy Crews
I did a number of inspections at H&M including the final. I do not believe a single correction was written. The crews were all top notch! It is good for a person in my position to have trust in the people and the contractor and their word, especially on these large projects.
Great Foreman
Collins onsite foreman was great. He kept his team and even the other contractors pushing forward.
Diligent
I just walked every resident room today and condensed Collins’ punch list to just 11 items, none of which were critical. This reflects the diligent work of Scott and Mark and their crews. I wanted to pass on the compliment as we keep working on the Lower Level.
Quick, Quality Work
I want to thank you for the work on 82A. The quality of work was top notch and the hard work that was put in helped us maintain our ASAP schedule. I appreciate the high skill level that was made available—it resulted in a clean and accurate assembly that will minimize our commissioning time. I also appreciate the positive attitudes, flexibility, and willingness to help of everyone who worked on the job.
Rock Stars
THANK YOU for the amazing work last night! I’m so grateful for your teamwork and professionalism (not that I would expect anything less). You did an outstanding job and deserve to be acknowledged for it! Again, you have my deepest appreciation. Well done, rock stars!
Above & Beyond
Mark is the best! He’s super helpful, personable, and just an all around good guy. He stayed longer than he needed to today and worked above and beyond what he’s expected to do…just as he always does!
Great Job
Thank you to Collins for doing a great job on the Ewing Apartments—we are really happy with the work you completed on this project!
Amazing Electricians
We were finally up and running at 8 p.m. last night. A total of seven screws were in the way of the new line going through and two had penetrated the line. Collins' electricians were amazing. They kept going through all the hurdles until the job was finished.
Responsive & Helpful
It was a pleasure to work with Warren—he was really responsive and helpful. It's always very important these items get done quickly, and Warren exceeded our expectations.
Right on Schedule
Collins provided a lot of insight into the schedule and pushed some of the other trades to keep the project on track.
