Throughout the two year building process, Duncan’s extensive knowledge base of unique construction materials and methods were invaluable. He was forthcoming with ideas and suggestions and his vast experience helped me make informed decisions in design and structural matters. The standard of workmanship demanded and indeed achieved by Duncan and staff under his supervision – was exemplary.” – Client
Duncan demonstrated a ‘no nonsense’ and tough working relationship with his direct staff and local sub contractors yet in a deceivingly easy style – being in constant communication with them to ensure they were on site when required giving precise instructions on what was required from them. It was clear that he commanded a great deal of professional respect from sub contractors and his own staff. “ – Client
I can recommend Duncan to any prospective client as a quality builder, competent, honest and very trustworthy. He is a fine example of what the building industry employers in New Zealand should aspire to.” – Client
We were not onsite during the building process, however had monthly site meetings. Duncan kept us well informed through the entire process with photographs, emails and regular phone calls. He exemplifies excellent workmanship, commitment to detail and the ability to complete the project on time. We were able to make necessary adjustments to design throughout the job, all the while having Duncan inform us of the impact on the schedule and the budget” – Client
Throughout the preparation and onsite construction of the houses, I have been impressed by his thoughtful approach to work planning, his management of staff and his unfailingly good humoured and practical approach to all aspects of the projects. Duncan quickly understood the expectations of offshore owners and the enormously complex coordination of services and interior fitout required to meet those expectations and managed his site to ensure consistent progress was maintained.” – Architect
