Gardner Engineering Employee Anniversaries

03/27/2020

COVID-19 UPDATE: The recent business closures announced by the Maryland, Washington, D.C. and Virginia governments exempted “Engineering, Building and Property Maintenance, and/or Commercial and Residential Construction”. Therefore, Gardner Engineering will be continuing service to our clients and projects. However, we have implemented a work-from-home protocol for employees, whenever possible. The contractors performing most of the repair/renovation projects that are underway, or scheduled to begin, are still proceeding. Therefore, we will also continue to service ongoing construction activities with periodic site visits.

Please do not hesitate to contact Doug Gardner if you have any questions about the status of your project.

Thank You,

Doug
