“G&H Building Services gave a full and complete design and build package to assist Interserve Construction with the fit out. They were proactive throughout the design stage, interacting with the client as required to ensure all changes were fully understood and correct. These changes were then picked up speedily on the drawings to avoid delay. G&H Building Services had upwards of 50 operatives on-site and they all knew their role and were always willing to discuss exactly what they were doing to progress the project.”
Jason Bamford, Site Manager, Interserve Construction
