Testimonials

“We are currently involved in a top end residential project with Scott Construction. They were selected to submit a negotiated tender over other prominent construction companies and were awarded the contract at the beginning of this year.

The project is a challenging concrete house that incorporates some complicated detailing with very little margin for error. The clients are exacting and we require a very high level of finish in all of our projects. The ability to perform to a high standard on-site, but also to monitor cost, programme and contractual obligations while effectively managing sub-contractors is very important to us and Scott Construction have performed exceptionally well in this regard.

Scott Construction has very good communication channels that allow decisions to be made quickly while keeping the appropriate people informed. Their well organised office and administration structure and excellent construction staff have kept the project running over what has been a trying winter weather period.

I have no hesitation in recommending Scott Construction Ltd for projects and would definitely use them again the future. I am happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the performance and ability of Scott Construction Ltd.”

Jorgen Anderson Director, Registered Architect - Arthouse Architecture Ltd

“Scott Construction are a polished performer who are enthusiastic, interactive, engaging, and always positive. They always make themselves available; how can we help is the catchphrase used all the time.

They have always added value at each stage of the process. Principally the difference that sets Scott Construction aside, is that they are leaders. They are nice guys that are willing, engaging, committed and professional. I would absolutely recommend Scott Construction to friends or other businesses, in many instances, they have finished before and ahead of schedule and they have looked at ways to reduce our costs.”

Tonchi Begovich, Summerset Retirement Village

“We worked together with Scott Construction on several large-scale commercial projects over the last 3 years. As the main contractor, we found Scott Construction very good to work with, their administration and site management was very good and construction quality is to very high levels.

It is always encouraging from an architects perspective when an architect like Scotts is genuinely interested in keeping the Architectural integrity of the design throughout the construction process. Scotts were professional in all aspects and thorough in their workmanship and communication, it is without hesitation i would recommend them as a competent main contractor to any prospective client”

Phillip H Matz, Matz Architects Ltd

“I found Scotts to be a high quality contractor , easy to work with and solutions focused. The few niggles we had were due to design flaws and not construction. They did not walk away from issues when they could have, but stayed involved and were committed to helping find a solution. The construction foreman was superb, finding solutions and accommodating changes that we requested in a positive way. Their approach to H&S was comprehensive and effective. Having Justin to go to for local and quick decision making (even though it was hardly needed ) was valuable.

I felt the project was well run and managed by Scotts and that I would happily work with them on future projects.”

Kevin Patterson Regional Assets Manager – South Island
