        To Whom it May Concern: It is with great pleasure that I take this opportunity to introduce you to Graddy Construction, Inc and to its President, Mercer Graddy. Since 2008,  Graddy Construction, Inc. has constructed three projects for me and my Partners. The first project they built for us was a $3,500,000 78-bed four story Microtel Hotel on St. Mary's Road in Columbus, GA. The quality of the construction was exemplary and the project was built on time and on budget. Microtel representatives told us that it was the first Microtel to their knowledge that had no outstanding punch-list on the scheduled completion date. In 2010, my company purchased an existing 8-building apartment project in Carrollton, GA consisting of two and three story wood frame structures. We engaged Graddy Construction, Inc. to assist us in establishing remodeling costs and a time frame for construction, and for performing the improvements. Included in their work was the rehabilitation of the Club House and Leasing Office structure. New signage was placed throughout the project. Fire protection systems were installed in the 3-story structures. And, pavement repair work implemented where needed. City of Carrollton officials expressed to us how pleased they were at the work done and how much the project upgraded the community. The Graddy Construction, Inc contract was in the amount of $500,000. The third project was the purchase in 2012 and restoration of a 7-building concrete frame apartment development in Athens, GA. All apartment buildings were 2-story structures and all apartments units contained one bedroom. In addition to painting and bringing exterior balconies and stairways to code, renovation included the removal and replacement of all interior finishes, appliances and numerous HVAC systems. The total construction costs was $2,500,000. Graddy Construction, Inc. successfully renovated all structures within the scheduled construction period. In addition, with a 60-day time extension to the base agreement they constructed a new Club/Leasing office and recreational pool area. The City of Athens enthusiastically applauded the work efforts. I look forward to developing future projects on which Graddy Construction, Inc. is the general contractor and recommend that you give them serious consideration for your upcoming project.   Sincerely, Charles D. Mensor, President, Archer Properties, Atlanta, GA
