“RUSH’s dependability and commitment to quality made it easy for our team members to work with them on the Parrish Healthcare at Titus Landing and Parrish Healthcare at Port Canaveral projects. It was a pleasure partnering with a company that understands the complexity of a healthcare facility and is willing to address matters in an efficient and cost-effective manner. I would consider RUSH Construction, Inc. for any of our future needs and would highly recommend them for your project.”

Jeremy S. Bradford, Parrish Medical Center, Sr. Vice President -Operations and President – North Brevard Medical Support, Inc.
“RUSH Construction has provided my company with excellent construction and project management services over the past several years and three large projects. The construction of a new Honda and Buick/GMC dealerships simultaneously and the renovation of the Ford dealership all in Titusville, Florida. All projects were completed on schedule and at or under the expected budget. I would strongly endorse RUSH Construction for any future projects.”

Josh Norris, Owner, Ron Norris Honda, Buick/GMC/Ford
“When RUSH has done a construction project for us to allow us to grow and expand, the square footage that we’ve added to those Ys has allowed us to serve more people in the community and that’s what we’re all about at the YMCA.”

Dan Ickes – Executive VP of Operations, YMCA of Central Florida
“…a huge milestone for the project, the wall panel tilting, was expected to take two days, it was completed safely in one day! This is a monumental success! Congratulations to RUSH.”

“Teamwork is a vital component and every one of RUSH Construction’s staff has been extremely accommodating in working with a variety of team players from NBMS and Parrish Medical Center. I do not believe we would have accomplished the early completion of The Children’s Center without RUSH’s efforts to make a cohesive team regardless of the obstacles facing us.”
