The “D” team consisting of Dylan Bruner and Devin Odenbach are described as engaged and dedicated. These two team members have basically been inseparable on the job site over the past two years. They are recipients of the Success in the Field award.
Communicating with and managing subcontractors, completing work orders for residents in a timely manner, putting in long hours or weekends to get things done in order to hit deadlines – whatever it took, Dylan and Devin have been dedicated to the job. These two have tackled one of Roers largest projects, The Metropolitan.
From being on-site for opening day to help the RPMR team make sure everything was ready for the new residents’ units, to listening to some out of the box ideas from RPMR like the wood by the clubhouse fire place or the wood wall in the lobby and not to mention hearing first hand issues that residents have. . . . these two have created strong partnerships between the divisions to make sure we are one team working toward our mission. Just this week, they even took the time to help the residential team with a mess in the clubhouse! The Metropolitan project is not complete yet but they continue to work hard to complete it.
