  • Formation Group was a trusted partner in the successful construction of our new campus in West Des Moines. The Team was always available when needed and the clear communication was appreciated considering Formation Group was actively involved in the project over a four-year period. There was active communication with the DMU Steering Committee, quarterly progress updates to all employees, and communication with the many contractors and vendors. Matt, Ben, and Aaron were well-known across campus and supported employees ranging from responses to technical questions or questions regarding our relocation. Formation Group guided the university through a complicated project and is highly recommended.
