W ROAD has successfully completed 2 major construction projects for the Manasquan Public School District over the past 5 years and is currently approximately 60% through a third… While these projects all varied significantly in nature and scope, we always felt that we were in good hands with NEW ROAD.

Borough of Freehold Public Schools
Dr. Joseph Howe, Assistant Superintendent of Business
“I have had the opportunity to work with Mr. Jack Gohde over the past two and a half years in his capacity as the Board’s construction manager during the major additions and renovations of two of our school buildings. The construction schedule and sites for these projects were both challenging. To be sure construction is never a pleasant process, but Mr. Gohde has shown the professionalism and skills necessary to achieve the desired result of a new or renovated facility. His knowledge of the means and methods of construction and contracts, along with his constant communication and willingness to address questions and concerns day or night is what got our project done, From day one he was sure to have positive and pleasant interactions with all of our staff which helped to appease some of the angst felt during construction in occupied school buildings. Mr. Gohde’s breadth and depth of experience in school construction would be an asset to any organization. While many may have the technical skills needed to complete a construction project, it was Jack’s problem solving skills that made him stand out.”
Haddonfield Board of Education
Stephen Burns, former Business Administrator/Board Secretary
“NEW ROAD Construction Management was appointed by the Haddonfield Board of Education to provide construction management services for their 36 million construction/renovation project. The project was an invasive renovation of four buildings involving the removal of exterior walls, roofing work, and installation of air conditioning throughout our facilities. The construction took place while school was in session causing the need for all parties to explore creative ways of accommodating both the contractors and the occupants of the building. Peter D ‘Adamo consistently developed creative methods to address the needs of all stakeholders. He involved all necessary people from the contractor to the district level personnel including building principals. He kept everyone informed and always acted in the interest of the district and most importantly our students. Whether Peter was finding an alternative solution for egress or if he was discussing designing options with the architect, Peter demonstrated his ability to adapt to different issues by providing innovative solutions that worked for all those impacted. In summary, Peter has been a pleasure to work with. He is always professional, extremely knowledgeable, and handles adversity in a calm manner. He is approachable, and I am able to call him anytime to discuss various issues. Through this difficult project, Peter has been the glue to keep it progressing and moving forward. It is without hesitation that I recommend NEW ROAD Construction Management and Peter D’ Adamo specifically for any construction related position.”
