MAUMEE, Ohio, April 7 /PRNewswire/ -- With decades of commercial, industrial
and retail construction project experience shared among its principals,
Program Solutions Group is quietly doing what many commercial construction
companies have struggled to do in this challenging economic environment:
achieve growth, prosperity and a high profile client list. In recent months,
Program Solutions Group has been contracted for several of metropolitan
Toledo's most exciting and prominent development projects, including the
500,000 sq. ft. expansion for First Solar Perrysburg, Ohio, the new Health
Care REIT headquarters on Dorr St. in Toledo, and Dana Holding Corporation's
relocation to new headquarters at their Maumee, Ohio, Technology Campus.

With double-digit growth realized each year since its inception in 2004,
Program Solutions Group attributes part of its success to the company's
open-book policy.  "For us, building lasting relationships is just as
important as building a permanent structure," said Program Solutions Group's
president, Wayne Burrer. "And you do that by having transparency and
communication throughout every facet of the project -- especially in this
economic climate, when every dime spent needs to be carefully managed."

This philosophy of openness has helped Program Solutions Group grow
substantially each year, with sales for 2009 projected at $70 million. The
fact that more than 90% of business has come from repeat customers, including
Dana, First Solar, FedEx Ground, Tomahawk Development and others, is a
testament to the efficacy of this policy, Burrer believes.

"Everything is uniquely open with Programs Solutions Group," says Director of
Corporate Engineering at First Solar, Terry Jones. "We participated in the bid
process and we have a say in who is selected for sub-contractors. Plus,
they've kept us on budget and on schedule in a safe working environment."

Program Solutions Group, currently in the second phase of a fast-track
manufacturing factory and office expansion development for First Solar, is
managing a team of more than 40 suppliers and sub-contractors to complete the
project. "We strive for seamless coordination by maintaining superior rapport
with our team of skilled sub-contractors and suppliers," said Keith Recknagel,
Program Solutions Group Vice President. "As a team member, we encourage our
subs to be more creative on how to meet our clients' goals and deadlines
because, ultimately, that's what allows us to be cost-effective with our
clients."

Program Solutions Group has seen the current economic challenges as an
opportunity to further diversify as well as grow its specialty construction
offerings, including retrofitting, renovation and relocation services.

"We approach each project with the understanding that the growth and success
of our business is fully dependent on our ability to exceed the expectations
of our customers," says Burrer. "In good times and bad."

Providing property owners, tenants and developers, architects and engineers
with custom-tailored solutions and building processes, Program Solutions Group
offers owner representation, commercial, industrial and retail construction
management, and tenant improvement services, among others.  For more
