tion to detail at all levels of execution is truly the differentiator in the industry.
Over the years, Pointer has developed a seasoned staff of construction professionals
who are the leading experts in the industry. Founder Devrie Weliver is a graduate of
West Point who drives her engineering background into everything. Those same basic
principles that define excellence and execution are applied to the corporate business
systems and construction practices. Developing innovative and proactive approaches
to project specific safety training, infection control measures and quality control man-
agement are just a few of the ways the team demonstrates its commitment to safety
and awareness of the sensitive environments in which they work. Minimizing the
impact of construction activities on facility operations and patient safety is always
Pointer’s top priority.
The team has had the opportunity to work hand in hand with many subcontractors,
consultants and vendors over the years. The diversity of the teaming partners chosen
to work with on a daily basis shares the same corporate values and commitment to
serve clients for the long haul. They are focused on quality service and offer technical
solutions to the intricate environment served.
Recently, Pointer completed its 5th successful year performing construction con-
tracts for the Department of Veterans Affairs under a 100M Multiple Award Task
Order Contract (MATOC) serving the South Florida region. Over the course of this
contract, Pointer has built a solid base of operations in the Florida marketplace and
