What Boards Say About Working With Bach Associates
It was through your expert and patient guidance that we selected an outstanding architect, engineer and construction company and began this very large and complex endeavor. Not only did you keep the project on budget, you helped to clearly explain the direction and details to the Association to help keep us focused on a positive outcome. You patiently answered very difficult questions and addressed everyone's concerns over the course of the project. Notwithstanding your technical expertise, we could not have accomplished this giant undertaking without your personal leadership.

Greenhouse Condominium Association
On behalf of the Board of Directors and Homeowner's community, I would like to thank you for services provided in preparation of our Reserve Study. The project was educational and was handled with expert professionalism. At every stage of the process we appreciated your ability to provide information and explanation pertaining to process, production, and reasoning for decision making. We particularly appreciate the sense of collaboration you took in undertaking the Reserve Study. We feel strongly that the product obtained is more valuable, better understood, and a more accurate assessment than might have otherwise been received as a result of the expertise you brought and teamwork you demonstrated with our Board and building manager.

Concord Condominium Association
In early 2007 we knew our 32 buildings were in terrible shape. We were a newly elected board and we knew we were going to have to start dealing with our problems right away. The first thing we did was interview consultants and construction managers. Bach & Associates was our unanimous choice because they were the only company that told us how they could help with everything from beginning to end. They lived up to their promises in every way: from helping us select excellent architects & engineers to recognizing that we had a potential insurance claim and then helping the law firm they recommended pursue what was ultimately a one million plus settlement.

David Bach & Associates were instrumental in assisting us with a complex litigation project. David's services were invaluable to us throughout the project as Construction Manager by ensuring that our property was restored to its original condition with additional upgrades, keeping us within our cost schedule, and thereby increasing the value of our homes.

I am convinced that our $5 million repair project at Eastbridge Condominiums would have never happened without Bach & Associates, specifically David Bach. I sometimes think it was almost a miracle that we managed to pass a special assessment, obtain a $1 million dollar insurance settlement, negotiate a bank line of credit, and finish our work on schedule. This was during the worst recession since the Great Depression. Without David Bach's experience, knowledge and professionalism I know we would not be where we are today.
