“Naylor Love have worked successfully to refurbish this outstanding community facility, on time and budget; applying their knowledge and skill to the many aspects of sustainable design, and CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) that were incorporated into this project.

Naylor love demonstrated innovative ways to successfully work around and manage minimising the closure time of the Library which was paramount to maintaining good community relations for Auckland Council.

It was essential to have a lead contractor that also took on the values of our design approach and formulated strategies on how best to achieve this within a challenging commercial work environment.

It has been a pleasure working with Naylor Love Ltd, and we certainly recommend their services, and look forward to future partnerships to produce buildings of this calibre.”

“During the time I have worked with Naylor Love Construction on the above project, I have found them to be sincere, knowledgeable and professional in all the work that they have undertaken for me.

Throughout the project, they have ensured that I have been kept up-to-date about issues and progress through regular meetings. They have demonstrated excellent communication skills keeping all key stakeholders well informed. When issues were raised, they were quick to respond and came up with sound practical solutions especially when the library stayed open during part of the construction phase.

Throughout the project, I have felt confident in the advice that Naylor Love Construction have given to me demonstrating good knowledge of their profession and I am delighted with the outcome that we have achieved. Considering the short timeframe that we had to deliver on this project, the overall experience of working with Naylor Love Construction has made this a wonderful project to be involved in.”

“The project was undertaken within the confines of the 24 hour operational College campus environment and therefore involved a significant amount of logistics, planning and cooperation in order that the College operation remained uninterrupted.

In order to work in this environment Naylor Love staff had to communicate effectively across all levels from the client and project consultants through to the site personnel while all of the time remaining client focused as the client lived on site. This they achieved throughout the contract demonstrating both their dedication and professionalism in achieving the challenging timeframe and the extremely high standard of finish that was required…

At no stage during the contract was any request by the College too much trouble and the quality of the ongoing relationship between the College and Naylor Love is testimony to the professionalism of both the individual Naylor Love staff and their organization as a whole.

In summary it has been a pleasure working with the Naylor Love team over the past three years and they should be truly proud of the outstanding results they have achieved.”

“You are some of the most accomplished builders we have ever seen, and everyone from Halswell School would most certainly agree. You have been so persistent, working in rain, hail and shine, not to mention some terribly windy days! You have put in so much effort and kept us up to date with what has been happening with our new school.”

“Your staff ensured that we could run the school fully during this project without disruption and the thoughtfulness and responsiveness of your staff made this happen. They not only anticipated any issues but also went out of their way so that there was minimum disruption to our services.

The final result is that we have an extremely high quality building that will stand the test of time. Given our campus we would expect to it be a full part of our future heritage.”

“We are so grateful to Naylor Love for taking on our projects as it became evident that the new earthquake resistant technology we had chosen i.e. LVL PRESS LAM was going to require skill and patience. Also the dental surgery was a complex fit out in a small physical area.

The overall end result is superb. Visitors and patients are commenting on the “lovely feel” and look of the building…

Thank you for guiding us through what has been for us, an extraordinary journey and we know the success of our building has been through the professionalism and expertise of Naylor Love.”

“Naylor Love throughout the contracts considered the implications on the day to day running of the school and kept any interruptions to the barest of minimums. Both their own staff and subcontractors were courteous and obliging at all times and have been a pleasure to work with. The work place was always kept tidy and safety was a major consideration at all times. We would have no hesitation in recommending Naylor Love to any prospective client.”

“Naylor Love are simply one of the best contractors I have ever worked with in the world. Their attitude and willingness to help in all areas of this challenging project was commendable.”

“The Trust’s decision to award the construction contract to Naylor Love paid dividends from the outset. Suppliers and sub-contractors were quick to tell us we had selected a company they would be enthusiastic about working with, and within just a matter of weeks we had benefitted from a robust  value engineering process across all elements of the project that helped reduce the overall project cost…

It needs to be stated that once on site the relationship moved to yet another level. Although we had our own project manager to act as client representative, trustees felt involved at all stages of the project through excellent communication and consultation. We are on record as saying never a cross word has been spoken in 2 years of dealings.

The finished building is simply outstanding. The attention to detail and quality has surpassed everyone’s expectations, even though we had high expectations to begin with.”

“The Naylor Love team have been a professional, dedicated and hard working team to have on site. Health and Safety is a priority. Management understand and work around the complexities that are part of working in the education sector.

The Naylor Love team communicated regularly and ensured the school’s perspective was included in planning. Deadlines were met even if it involved working through weekends. Work is of a high quality.”
