“When working on multiple projects throughout the country – it’s so important to have reliable industry partners. CCS is at the top of that list. They have come in and have solved so many problems for our clients, and we can totally trust them.
In our work, there’s a lot of pivoting and hurry-up-and-wait and Ken from CCS just rolls with the punches. He doesn’t get frustrated. He just understands how these projects go, which is huge.
He’s hanging lights and redoing irrigation. He has to be in the rooms, work with the team, coordinate, and follow a strict schedule – and he knocks it out of the park every time.
Contractors who don’t specialize in cannabis don’t know what they don’t know. Ken gets the biosecurity implications, how harvest cycles work, and the amount of money it takes.
He’s never over budget and always does whatever it takes to hit the timeline set. A room being empty for a day can be a loss of five figures in revenue. If processes or systems are delayed, that has a downstream effect on other rooms and causes major issues. Ken is so dedicated to that. If it needs it, he’ll be there with his crew sometimes 7 days a week, on holidays. He always does what it takes to get the job done. He has a solutions-oriented mindset and does not make excuses.
Ken also has a strong sense of craftsmanship – to the point where not only are his pipes evenly laid out and it’s a very clean install – but he even turns the pipe around so the writings are against the wall, so you only see the white. It’s really, really uncommon attention to detail.”
