“The Freeman Group has brought order and discipline to the chaos of construction. Rodney has saved me countless millions of dollars by helping force a true RFP process, by coming up with creative cost saving solutions, and by convincing me to spend a few extra dollars now, as opposed to potentially many dollars down the road. I would not hesitate to use The Freeman Group again or to recommend them to anyone.”

"The Project and Construction Management profession has experienced a real maturity in the last 10+ years. In Southern California, the undisputed leader of this charge is the Freeman Group. Rodney and his Managers combine the two essential ingredients that enable them and their teams to consistently produce the best projects with happy clients; honest and direct client feedback and comprehensive team management that allows the professionals to flourish at their job. Yes, the Freeman group finds the cracks and the sources to save money, but their true strength is the ability to secure and manage a complex team of professionals to produce the highest level of design and construction quality in the industry."
