Testimonial | RDB Project Management
“I have no hesitation in recommending Eliot Sinclair”
“I have worked with Eliot Sinclair on several occasions in my capacity as Project Manager for Destination Westland and Westland District Council. The first project was the extension of the Hokitika Airport, supplying Structural Engineering and Design services for the facility. This included consenting and Construction Monitoring, which was performed in a very professional, capable manner. Their communication is clear, proficient with contractors and consultants alike. This has led to the Airport and other projects being completed to programme and to a high quality. I have no hesitation in recommending Eliot Sinclair and look forward to collaborating with them again, should the opportunity arise.”
