“Rory Woolsey is a qualified specialist. I recommend The Wool-zee Company to my clients for an unbiased, independent estimate of their foreseeable construction cost.” Mark Christ, AIA
“The Wool-Zee Company has consistently provided professional cost estimates at every level of design. Rory’s broad-based experience and access to current local contract prices has been invaluable for my firm at the very initial design and financial feasibility stages. He always wants too much detail, but knows how to give an accurate cost range depending on the information provided. His national experience has also helped enormously. I don’t recommend anyone else.” David Christensen, AIA
