Client comment

"The timescale was very challenging but despite that, Maris completed on time, to budget and to the required quality. Further, the progress of the works on site were exemplary and we were very impressed with the site organisation and the health and safety regime that Maris were able to extend successfully to our direct contractors.

It was also pleasing to see that lists of snags or defects were posted in the various areas prior to handover to focus the workforce’s attention on achieving a low defects facility. Overall a real spirited teamwork and co-operation existed on the project, and on the basis of Shaftesbury Avenue, we hope there will be opportunities to work with Maris on similar projects again."
