    When you agreed to work with us, you took on a project that appeared to be straight forward at the outset and proved to be quite challenging because of the detail we and the architect were looking for. On top of that you had to deal with slow delivery of information and a client (us) who had a drop dead date of December 16th. And you did it.
    Not only did you get it done but the attention to detail and quality of work was exceptional. All the sub trades you used were on board to deliver a good product on time. The result has been exceptional. Everyone who visits us is amazed and that includes the late Mr Beedie who was specifically invited by the Beedie team to come and take a look.
    Thank you so much for your commitment. We may have been tense at the time but you really did deliver and we’re grateful for that.
