Testimonials

"“We at the Home Builders Association of Greater New Orleans have been thrilled with the work that Phil LaRocque has undertaken for us in the areas of corporate development and business planning. For the past few months, Phil has counseled us in the formation of an educational and charitable corporation. Phil’s years of experience and attention to detail have translated into the creation of a dynamic new corporation, which we will utilize to deliver critical construction education and information to our professional building community, as well as the policy makers and citizens of Greater New Orleans. We look forward to a continuing relationship with Phil and his firm.”

"Phil LaRocque has been highly successful for our association by introducing our members to the benefits of the 2-10 HBW program offerings.

In addition, his consulting and training on green building programs is key to our continued growth of our Build Green NH Council and promotion of the National Green Building Program.

Our members and this association appreciate Phil’s hard work and detailed follow up with regards to these programs."

" When the Home Builders Association of Greater New Orleans decided to form a 501(c)(3) corporation, New Orleans Education League for the Construction Industry (NOEL), Phil was our first and only choice for a consultant. He assisted us in every phase of the process from concept to bylaws."

Peter V. Young, President of NOEL

" I have had the privilege of working very closely with Phil LaRocque, both as an advocate and an association manager. He is a true professional in every sense of the word and will bring a wealth of expertise to any project. "

"We brought Phil in on Brickstone, our $36M new construction project well after we had started construction of this senior living community. Despite coming in late in the game, Phil was instrumental in explaining our eligibility for various programs, working with our architect and GC on design options and construction requirements, and researching program guidelines so that we are well-positioned to receive the maximum Green Building/Energy Efficiency benefits. Phil is knowledgeable, well respected in the industry, and a valuable resource to anyone looking to take advantage of energy programs."

"I have known and worked with Phil LaRocque for many years. Our joint efforts have covered a wide variety of public policy issues ranging from restructuring New York State’s regressive tax structure to fundamentally reforming a negligence liability adjudication system which has completely broken down in New York. I have worked with Phil individually and we have worked together as part of much larger coalitions. Invariably, Phil would emerge as one of the true leaders of the particular group involved. Often, when others were ready 'to throw in the towel,' Phil revitalized the group making possible far greater successes than would otherwise have been achievable. Phil is intelligent, tireless and committed to his mission. As many who have worked with him have noted – 'If you need a problem solved, Phil LaRocque is a guy you want on your side'. "
