Christophe Barkalaya, Warren and Mahoney Architects  – Jan 2006 Many Thanks for your support and assistance on this project. Sunnynook School is delighted with the result and the experience of working with you. John McGowan, Principal, Campbells Bay School, Library + ICT Suite - 2004 “During the past 10 years the school has been involved with a number of construction companies……Ross Bindon Ltd has been the standout company. At all times I have found them to be thoroughly professional…..We are very happy with the quality of work…..Should the school require any further construction work, Bindons would be the first company invited to tender. We look forward to working with them again.” Darryl Green, Contemporary Residential House – 2005 “I want to say straight away that we were pretty impressed with what you have come up with. If we didn't show it on the night we were both pretty excited. You have obviously listened and made a genuine effort to understand who we are, what we want, and how we like to live in relation to the site we want to build on. Thank you Grant, it is a refreshing change from that which we have been through before, and we are looking forward to the next step.” Colleen Caan, Human Resources Manager,United Networks “May I compliment Ross Bindon and his team – not only for working against some difficult timeframes and environment, but for their remarkable good humour and courtesies to company facilities and members of staff.” Warren Patterson, Principal, Sherwood School Performing Arts, Admin, Classrooms + Library – 2003 “Many thanks for all your efforts, creativity and great problem solving for Sherwood School. We have greatly valued the ‘Can Do’ attitude. As the building industry has had a reputation for poor service, inflated prices and shoddy workmanship, it is reassuring to know and work with a company who care, have integrity and expertise.” …on RBL Professional Qualities – January 2003 “……Health and Safety policies were effective, Communication was superb, Issues were resolved fairly and equitably, Design changes were all managed, Working relationships between building team and school was excellent, Remedial works were carried out satisfactorily and Finished product is of a high standard.” Ken Rapson, Principal, Mount Roskill Grammar Nelson Block “…..Ross Bindon Limited completed the project on time and within the stipulated budget. Throughout the contract, the representatives of the firm were very helpful and provided excellent support to the Architect, Project Manager and school Property and Finance staff……I have no hesitation in recommending Ross Bindon Limited for any new construction or refurbishment job.” Stuart and Joan Smith, Residential House – 2001 “Thanks for a fantastic job on the house. Gavin and Grant were great; I Was on site on the weekend, most impressed with Gavin and the teams’ work – things are making real progress!” Collene Roche, Principal, Carmel College Admin + Staff/Classroom Block – 2003 “The relationships developed between myself and the company have been most congenial. They have been very approachable and only too willing to help;” “The Company understood the need to be sensitive to the needs of the school and worked hard not to interrupt teaching through noise etc. They were careful with health and safety in relation to our students and staff.” Warwick and Jenny Settle, Residential House Alteration – September 2001 “Thank you for the excellent work recently completed by your company in both our factory and our home. A number of visitors have commented on the quality of workmanship, not easy when you are working with an elderly house which has been subjected to various dubious renovations over fifty odd years.  As employers for thirty years we frequently have outside groups such as electricians working in the factory. It was a pleasure to work with and around your staff.” Carl Hanlon, Project Manager, United Networks Refurb – February 1999 “To have accommodated and carried out what was essentially twice the original volume of work within the original programme period and maintained a very crucial 24 hour, seven day operation within the construction zone was an outstanding effort.”
