Ancon was a fabulous partner in building a new facility for CAPS- Child And Parent Services. In a first-ever partnership build with another construction company (DJ Construction), they exemplified professionalism, a concern for our needs all along the way, and high expectations for quality and efficiency. Our building was completed on time and on budget - without any interruption of services to the public. Thank you, Ancon!

After hearing of the work they had done at the zoo in South Bend, I was finally able to see what they had worked on when I visited a few weeks ago. Beautiful work on the carousel there. It's a great addition to the zoo
