Testimonials
O'Donnell/Snider Construction,
Houston, Texas
"I want to
thank Acacia for your help and cooperation on the GE Building N Project. Your team was professional and helpful
throughout the project.
I
appreciate your 'can do' attitude. I appreciate the many times that you went to the site to meet personally with
my superintendent and I appreciate the fact that you built templates or 'mockup' low walls for the ramp areas
and radius desks which took all guesswork out of the construction and provided easy-to-follow starting/stopping
points for finishes, etc. and saved us from writing numerous RFI's (and saved the architect from having to
detail all of these items).
As always,
it was a pleasure working with Acacia and I hope to join you on another project soon."

Atmar, Vice President - Operations

"It was
indeed a pleasure working with Acacia on revitalizing our conference center to host the 2010 Board of Directors
meeting. The craftsmanship and fine materials produced a finished product the entire facility beams with
pride about. Executive Leadership could not believe it was the same facility having just visited a few
months prior to the meeting.
As for the
Acacia team, they were exceptional to work with. The flexibility to manage two of our projects at once was
second to none. Will and his team accommodated many changes and shifting timelines to meet our
request. The experience was definitely a highlight in my career and Acacia made a favorable impression
with the company at large.
I would
highly recommend Acacia to any company looking for first rate service and high quality
craftsmanship."

"Acacia’s contribution
to the GE AEROC building project was critical. Acacia’s quality and attention to detail was first rate –
achieving the ‘wow’ factor we so desired. Beyond the quality of Acacia’s work, the close working
partnership Will and his team formed with the GE project team was essential to executing the full building
renovation in a short, five month time frame. Acacia helped us go from concept to design in a matter of
weeks and this was absolutely vital since we had only 5 months to pull it off. We were conceptualizing and
designing often ‘on the fly’ and Acacia was flexible and responsive. In the end, we were able to deliver a
building that exceeded everyone’s expectations. The final product has become a source of pride for our
business division, enabling us to communicate our brand identity with our Customers, and is allowing our
business to work more effectively. We could not have pulled it off without
Acacia."

"Will's
creativity, attention to detail and ability to think outside the box make it a pleasure to work with him on our
Perry's Steakhouse Project in Dallas"
"I
have worked on projects with Will for over 15 years. When I knew that I wanted something unusual and spectacular
for my Perry's Steakhouse project, I immediately thought of Acacia!"

“When
we at GE were asked to refurbish an old building, and transform it into a State of the Art Operations Center
with the functionalities like Remote Monitoring Center and a Technology Showcase area, our challenge was to
create a space that would integrate various elements of high technology across the Aero Energy business.
We were extremely fortunate that we worked with the Acacia team led by Will Fuller.
Every
interaction with Will was constructive and positive. We started with a few design concepts that had been
rendered in 3-D by our consultants, and starting with that Acacia came back with the milestones and deliverable
dates to meet our aggressive schedule. The final product had several elements that Acacia proposed as
improvements on the original concept. When we made last minute changes, Will and his team figured out ways to
implement it. They worked around the constraints of the other construction activity at the site coming in after
hours and weekends, and always met or exceeded their commitments. The final product with the millwork integrated
is incredible, and has drawn nothing but rave reviews from everybody who has visited our facility.
Working Will
Fuller and Acacia was the best part of what was a challenging exercise. I would recommend them to anybody
without any reservations of any kind.”

“Please
be advised that I can offer a 100% referral for Will Fuller and his company Acacia. GE Oil and Gas engaged
Will to quote our executive conference room tables. I can tell you that not only did Will win the open
bid, but our wonderful experience only started at that point.
Upon
winning our job, Will worked hand in hand with the construction company that was doing the fit out for our
space. His flexibility to work his delivery of the furniture around many moving completion targets is an
acknowledgement of his customer service.
Once
we saw the final product, I can tell you that he over fulfilled our expectation of the quality and appearance of
the conference tables. Their beauty is only exceeded by their durability to the use that our employees and
guests have placed on this furniture.
I
welcome anyone to our site to view the products that we purchased from him. Only a personal visit can
appreciate the quality.”

"Will
Fuller of Acacia provided excellent workmanship, a personable experience and top quality products that are a
focal point of our office. At the onset of our multi-million dollar renovation, we anticipated delays in
the build-out progress; however, Acacia always met deadlines and were flexible while accommodating numerous last
minute changes. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Will and his team."

“Will
Fuller and his company exceeded my expectations in terms of craftsmanship and service.
He transformed my vague concept for personal office furniture into a storage unit that is truly
beautiful, unique and functional.
He was impeccable not only in the design process, but also in communicating cost, delivery and
installation.
The results were outstanding, and I highly recommend him for any furniture design
project.”

“For
a project requiring high-end architectural millwork, I recommended Will Fuller. I’ve worked with Will on
several projects over the years. His involvement in those projects has been invaluable. Will always brings
creative insights into specific details and materials to the table. He is responsive, knowledgeable, and
professional.
The
finished product that Will’s company, Acacia, delivers is of the highest quality. They seamlessly
integrate many other materials into their work, including stone, metal, and glass.
I
highly recommend Will Fuller and Acacia for any project where the quality of the details and workmanship are
paramount, and the relationship between designer and fabricator is collaborative.”
Suzanne Labarthe, AIA – Principal

“I
wanted to
personally take the time to thank Acacia for the great work that they performed for us on some of our recent
projects at the Marriott Courtyard in Gulfport, MS and the Hilton Hotel in Jackson, MS. The furnishings are
outstanding and of the highest quality, and we are extremely satisfied with both projects.
We
appreciate your cooperation in working with all of the other trades to make these projects go
smoothly. Thank you for your quality workmanship and
dedication. We look forward to continuing our relationship and
successfully completing future projects together.”

enough for the great referral. Working on a demanding deadline, Will and his team met our needs with no
hesitations. Even after several challenges beyond their control they completed our project on time and we love
the finished product. We found Will and his team to be trustworthy, professional and an expert in their
field and would use their services again in the future. “

have been working with Will Fuller for several years now in conjunction with my customers build out of their
suites and the work he provides is second to none in terms of quality and service. Acacia’s
professionalism and attention to detail both in design and with their delivery processes and procedures
make them easy to work with and I always know my customers will receive a quality product in the end. I
recommend them to all of my customers seeking furnishings for their conference rooms.”

“I
prefer to use Will because without exception each and every client is so thoroughly pleased with the finished
product. Will also makes the process so smooth with us and the General Contractor.”
Bill Burwell, AIA - Principal
“He
respects the design but will bring up any potential issues or recommendations if there are any before
fabrication. He understands what he does so well that he has the ability to detect a problem before it
ever becomes one resulting in both a very happy designer and client. And whenever there is a problem he
handles it in the most professional manner.”
Georgina Guzman, AIA - Senior Associate
"What
I notice when working with you is that you work very well directly with clients and are great at protecting your
relationship with both the client and architect. You do your own shop drawings, rather than simply faxing
us a copy of our own drawing, and they are always perfect. We have never had an unsuccessful job with
you. The clients are always amazed and happy with their choice when they choose you. They love the
finished product and service and that is important to us. I always feel 100% confident when working with
you that the product and design will be successful. You will let us know if there are any potential issues
on the design or materials we choose before the product is built and the issue becomes a problem. You are
a great advisor on designs and choices of materials. You are also very professional and very easy to talk
to. You are great at following up."
