"Shaw-Lundquist has been an invaluable partner. Everyone I have worked with on the team is a collaborative problem-solver who takes providing a quality experience and project personally. As someone who is new to multifamily construction, I really appreciate having a contractor who I trust has our project’s best interests at heart and treats all involved fairly."

Bjorn Anderson
Project Manager, Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA)
"Amy, Tony, and the entire Shaw-Lundquist team were great to work with on our remodel project for a major bank client. Everything was handled with extreme professionalism and care, from bidding and submittals through project close out. Any items that came up during the course of construction were identified and handled quickly, incorporating the team as required once scope and pricing were identified. I thoroughly enjoyed working with the team on this project and look forward to paths crossing again in the future!"
Ellis Polling
Project Manager, JLL (Owner's Rep)
"Shaw-Lundquist's project team was professional, responsive, and collaborative with the owner and community members throughout construction. A strength of the Shaw-Lundquist team is their quality of communication. Throughout the project they were able to respond to the owner's questions with clarity, timeliness and with helpful supporting material. Ultimately, the project was a big success and we look forward to working with their team again."
Chris Stark
Project Manager, City of St. Paul
"Shaw-Lundquist took great pride in their work and wanted to provide the best product for the owner, customer and community. The team was engaged and communicated very well from start to finish, especially through the multiple challenges that Covid-19 presented. We look forward to the next opportunity to work with Shaw-Lundquist Construction."
Steve Dunbar
