Concord Music has enjoyed an ongoing working relationship with Joe for 15+ years. He is the epitome of professionalism and can be counted on to always deliver, always with the client's best interests in mind. I personally have relied on him to be the voice of calm reason in the most stressful of contract negotiations. His attention to detail is of the highest caliber and his ability to make things happen is first-rate. Suffice it to say, Joe is one of the best, if not THE best construction project manager I have ever had the pleasure of working with.
You will never find a guy with more integrity than Joe!

Joe is a great resource in the construction management area. We just finished a project together and his meticulous eye for detail and aggressiveness with contractors and other vendors produced a great space at a great price for our mutual client. I would highly recommend him!!
Dr. David Rosen
Chair, General Studies, South College-Nashville
Joe Peterson is a very bright, articulate, and nice person. Although his expertise is deep and rich, his vision is inclusive: he sees the world broadly and executes perfectly, using collaboration and creativity in all he does. He served as manager for Woodbury University for several years, both at the Burbank and San Diego, on five major building projects that transformed the campuses. The projects came in on time and under budget. He was exacting in design, details, timelines, and cost, yet always open, available, and affable. When people walk onto campus now, they immediately understand the university because of the projects he helped shape and complete. I am personally grateful for all he has done on behalf of the university and can testify to the pleasure it is to work with him!
Monica Frey
Manager Retail Operations at JLL
I worked very closely with Joe on the remodel of Center Trust. As the Architect/Design Consultant, he worked from start to finish including: recommendations for general contractor, designer, furnishing manufacturer, etc. Joe is a master in his craft; an honest and dedicated team member; has a fine attention to detail; works great as the liaison between all parties; and, most importantly, has the patience to work with all personalities.
Working with Joe and Exceleration Project Management is a guaranteed success for any project.

For all the years I have known Joe he has always been one of the hardest working, smartest, and most effective project managers in the industry. He is reliable, and an invaluable resource for anything related to real estate development. Joe has a keen focus on success and has always had an amazing ability to keep the big picture in mind while navigating the challenges associated with construction in a variety of conditions. I would not hesitate to recommend Joe to anyone. It is truly a pleasure to know and work with him.
André van Niekerk, Ph.D.
Dean School of Business, Woodbury University School of Business
Exceleration Project Management, and specifically Joe Petersonʼs daily, purposeful personal engagement, was the key to our new School of Business building being completed above expectations, ahead of schedule, and below budget. His attention to detail is superb and his skill in navigating the tricky waters of being both the quality as well as the financial watchdog is exemplary. I would recommend Joe for any project that needs a professional who knows his business and who is respected by his Project peers, Architects, and Builders alike.
Yuval Bar-Zemer

Having Joe Peterson orchestrate a team of consultants, solicit bids, select a GC and oversee the construction process allowed me, as asset manager, a worry-free process of introducing a new tenant into our building. I have a lot of respect for his knowledge, coordination ability, and integrity.
