CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

“Throughout the construction period the building was occupied by staff and students and d+b facades were flexible in their approach to programming the works ensuring there was minimal disruption. They approached the various design changes necessary with the speed and competency required to keep the works on programme and finish on the agreed date. D+b facades showed that they had the necessary experience from working at other institutions in the sector to ensure the project was delivered with minimal disruption to the end-user. I am happy to recommend them for works of this nature knowing that they will approach all works with the client’s core business needs uppermost in their plans”.
