THE RITZ-CARLTON HALF MOON BAY
NOW OPEN A FULL YEAR

Wentz Group reflects on successful project completion

SAN CARLOS, CA—(April 12, 2002). Wentz Group, a leading California-based general contractor for 28 years, is reflecting on completing the construction last year of the Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay, a five-star, 261-room resort. Wentz Group is committed to a "moral warranty" which is drawn from our overall corporate philosophy of providing clients with the finest professional services, according to Bradley Wentz, president of the firm. In this pursuit, Wentz Group is committed to the highest degree of values and principles to mutually benefit our customers, suppliers and owners, says Wentz.

"The Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay recognizes and appreciates Wentz Group for their talent, cooperative flexible efforts contributing to our resort construction and completion success," said John Berndt, general manager of the Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay Resort. "Throughout our pre-opening process and first year warranty period Brad Wentz and his entire team have been supportive and responsive to our base building physical requirements."

"Some of the disciplines Wentz Group has in place to provide continued quality service are commitment to every aspect of the project from inception through preconstruction, construction, closeout, startup and beyond," said Wentz. "Wentz Group provides a complete commissioning process and coordinates specialty vendor training to successfully transition the project to the client and ensure that all project components are operational. To fully leverage these practices, we administer standard pre- and post- construction meetings to facilitate the highest level of awareness and maximize communication."

"Regardless of the project phase, maintaining strong client relationships with ultimate responsiveness and follow-through is critical," says Chris Thompson, Wentz Group project manager. "When notified of an issue, it is my personal and professional responsibility to respond quickly, perform a thorough review and expedite a resolution to the satisfaction of the client. I am happy to say that we have achieved our objectives on the Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay project."
