Soquel Union Elementary School District
RGMK made our recent bond project the best construction experience I’ve ever been a part of in my 30 year career in public education. Quite simply, it was completed on-schedule & on-budget. The RGMK Team was responsive and hands-on, which built confidence with our staff, board, and community. Superintendents tend to lose a lot of sleep over school construction but I didn’t because we had RGMK on the job.
Scott Turnbull – Superintendent
Jefferson School District
“RGM was hired by our District six years ago after passing a $35 million bond for school construction. The District conducted a statewide search for a construction management firm and after an extensive interview process RGM came out on top. They provided construction management services for modernization projects at three of our elementary schools. The projects included new running tracks, play fields, shade structures, bathroom upgrades, and numerous site upgrades.”
James W. Bridges – Ed.D. Superintendent
Mountain View—Los Altos Union High School District
“Kramer helped us complete our five year modernization projects on time, under budget with exceptional quality, no delays and “No Disputes.” Kramer’s attention to detail and the needs of the client is unsurpassed. They are the best.”
Barry Groves Ed.D. – Superintendent
John Swett Unified School District
“They set the standard very high and continually exceed it – whether presenting at Board meetings or wading through a flood to clear a storm drain.”
Michael S. Roth – Superintendent
Martinez Unified School District
“They assisted us with a very complex facilities hardship application with OPSC. They met with representatives of CDE and OPSC advocating for District needs in a very compelling way. The back-up documentation was clear evidence of the quality of their work and professionalism. It was due to this support that we were able to capture the maximum amount in state funding for this challenging project.”
Rami Muth – Superintendent
Jefferson Elementary School District
“I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Kramer to take on the load and responsibilities of District construction projects. Rick is truly a professional in all services he offers. His integrity is outstanding. On top of all this, he’s really a nice guy!”
Julie Kessler – Assistant Superintendent/CBO
River Delta Unified School District
“Many school construction programs require detailed and specialized attention to matching state funds and other state funding programs which are not immediately useable without the major focal attention of a variety of consultants. RGM has the knowledge and consulting base necessary to help a district be successful in finding and utilizing these resources.”
Dr. Alan Newell – Superintendent
Soquel School District
“Rick Kramer’s ability to work through difficult situations and with a variety of people was instrumental in resolving our construction problems. He was able to provide effective problem solving skills that ultimately moved the projects forward in a timely manner. I would highly recommend utilizing Rick’s knowledge and expertise for any school facility project.”
Sherree Brown – Assistant Superintendent
Piner-Olivet Union School District
“Piner-Olivet Union School District has worked with RGM for approximately seven years. They have assisted us with many projects such as replacing flooring, replacing a driveway and other paving, large and small modernization projects, upgrading a play field and building a new school. I have always been pleased with the service the District has received, especially from Andrea Noble who has worked closely with the District on all of our projects. The RGM staff is knowledgeable and professional regarding all aspects of construction. I would highly recommend RGM to any school district.”
Becky Leffew – Director Business Services
Menlo Park City School District
“During the five previous years as the Superintendent of the Sebastopol Union School District, RGM had served me as the construction management firm where we completed $20 million dollars of projects that included closing a middle school because of liquefaction, building an interim campus for operations and constructing an entirely new campus. Ralph Caputo shepherded me through this challenge while completing several other projects at the elementary schools.”
Kenneth J. Ranella – Superintendent
West Sonoma County Union High School District
“RGM has served a somewhat unique function with our district by taking on the accounting function for our bond and state fund money as we moved through the building process. This has been a valuable service to our district, which does not have the staff to stay on top of all the requirements, reporting guidelines, and changes coming out of Sacramento.”
David R. Wheeler – Superintendent
Mark West Union School District
“RGM takes great personal pride in their work, advocates for the owner, addresses the concerns of all players involved, and takes their work very seriously. They have developed great relationships with all of our contractors, consultants, inspectors and architects. There has never been a question about who they represent, what their role is, or where their allegiance lies. You will always know they are an integral part of your District team.”
Michael Smith – Director Maintenance and Operations
Tracy Unified School District
“RGM has been involved from the beginning on TUSD’s most visible project, the complete transformation of the district’s oldest school, Tracy High School. This project involved the demolition and replacement of the 1917 historic building and the renovation of the balance of the campus built in various eras from the 1950’s to the 1970′ s. RGM participated in guiding various committees through the process of aligning our educational goals with our community’s goals to respect the history and nostalgia of the campus.”
Bonny Carter – Director, Facilities, and Planning
Los Gatos Union School District
“Rick Kramer and the Kramer team are by far one of the most world class organizations I have ever worked with. The integrity in which they engage in their work, swiftness in problem resolution, and timeliness in delivering beautiful projects on time and within budget cannot be surpassed. This is a great firm to work with personally and professionally.”
Leslie Paulides – CPA—Assistant Superintendent/CBO

“I am extremely proud of how RGM performed at LMC. Working as a partner is RGM’s specialty. They are passionate about the quality, process, and outcome of their work collaborations. I always felt that I had a professional partner who was highly vested in our work and the facilities that we were creating for students and staff. Their commitment to integrity and effective communication made them a perfect fit for the working relationship that we formed.”
Peter Garcia – President

“Kramer managed four projects simultaneously for Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District. The projects were on time and on budget. They do more than is expected and provide accurate, personal and timely resolution to the myriad of construction decisions. The staff are problem solvers with the knowledge, skills and resources to provide outstanding construction and program management services.”
Tom Woodruff PhD. – Assistant Superintendent

“I have the highest respect for their technical knowledge, honesty, and ability to complete a project on time and on budget. They are particularly skilled in estimating and offering alternatives that are more cost effective. They also have shown an exceptional ability to assist contractors in their planning and execution of construction projects.”
