What our clients say

Lester Barwick

What should have been a very straight forward project turned out to be anything but, this project was immensely frustrating to run as the CM for the Principal Contractor “, however this is where Raytell really stood out and shone. Despite all the issues on the project and constant changes I did not really have that many dealings with our own CM, which is I suppose quite a good thing as Barry from Raytell seemed very much to just get on with things without causing any dramas. Raytell’s site manager Karl is a real credit to your company as things were quite difficult on site at times but his attitude and approach to all things was outstanding.
