"Moran Electric played a critical & instrumental role on the construction team for the Oak Park Towers project. From the very beginning, with a late contract award of the electrical package, Moran Electric responded with the focus & attention to detail that any GC would be thankful for. I was very impressed with the professionalism, skilled workforce, level of quality, commitment to safety, and responsiveness to the multiple design and construction challenges faced during the course of the project."
