‘Recommend without reservation Stacy Austin for any building project management challenge.’

My wife and I worked closely with Stacy as the Project Manager on a complex remodel in our 90 year old home on Bainbridge Island.  Stacy worked as liaison between the builder, subs and owners.  She was conscientious and responsive to all of our concerns, including taking extra care with our unique ancestral home and all the hand-carved wood work.

She had a great relationship with the construction crew and sub-contractors.  Her communication skills and emotional intelligence on working with various people was outstanding.  When we wanted to reduce costs that had been specified by our independent designer, Stacy was respectful of our relationship and handled everything professionally.

Stacy kept us informed when any cost overruns might be anticipated.  When remodeling an old home there are always unexpected issues that come up.  Her approach to problem solving was inclusive of all impacted parties and comprehensive in looking at all the potential workarounds.  She was transparent and fair when any issue arose and helped mitigate high costs by suggesting alternatives.

Mrs. Austin was clear when she would not be available and highly attentive to our concerns when she engaged with us.  Due to her detailed project planning, attentiveness and clear timelines we never felt out of the loop. 

In summary, we were very pleased with the way she managed the whole project and we would unconditionally recommend Stacy Austin.

‘Recommend Stacy Austin for project manager.’

My acquaintance with Stacy began with her position as Project Manager for our recent remodel project and has continued with neighborhood encounters and Stacy’s follow up during the year after our project. It has become very apparent that Stacy is unique as a Project Manager for a number reasons. Probably most impressive are her communication skills and task management organization, handling several project simultaneously, but maintaining close client relationships and keeping us informed on future activates and issues. And, she did this during the worst of the COVID disruptions for materials and labor difficulties.

Throughout the project Stacy kept us abreast of estimate revisions as we uncovered problem areas, and the running costs for all aspects of the job. She did a masterful job of managing subs to keep the job moving while navigating the components delays.

Stacy’s background as an owner of several building related organizations has given her an intimate feel for the process of completing projects from idea to turnkey signoff. This appreciation of the full process informs her project management mindset. She can visualize all the steps and pitfalls in advance.

After 40 years in the engineering and construction industry, include 25 years and numerous positions with Parsons Corporation - VP and Chief Engineer, President-Parsons Power, President-Parsons Asia Pacific- I easily recognize the qualities that make construction managers successful. Stacy has those qualities.

‘No doubt our success with the Sunrise house was due to Stacy Austin.’

Stacy has been a pleasure to work with. She is intelligent, organized, professional and an excellent communicator. 2020 was a challenging year during which to commence a project of this magnitude with new workplace rules, supply disruptions and sub-contractors that had different approaches to returning to work. Stacy managed all of those issues, as well as the routine bumps in the road that all projects have, as the professional she is. We always felt we were being kept in the loop and consulted along the way, through weekly, on-site meeting with us, weekly meeting notes and task/issue updates and monthly timeline updates.

We would not hesitate to engage Stacy for our next remodel or construction project.
