Testimonials

As our Construction Manager, EllisDon has done a wonderful job managing our hospital building project. Many members of the public have toured the site and in addition to expressing their great delight with progress of the project, they have also remarked on what a clean and tidy site it is. We are now well into our third year of construction and to date have not experienced any time loss due to injury. Once completed in the fall of 2003, our hospital will be the fastest built hospital of its size in the history of this province and will be a great value for the dollars spent to build it. EllisDon deserves a great deal of credit for this success. In particular, I extend our special thanks to Paul Hickey, Jim Soda and all the EllisDon staff who have made the new Thunder Bay Regional Hospital building project the great success that it is.

Working with EllisDon on our new Four-Plex Arena project has been a thoroughly positive experience. The Project Manager and Superintendent were very helpful in explaining technical issues. They were very conscious of our cost constraints and were "on our side" in delivering an attractive, cost-effective facility that met our functional objectives.

The road undertaken by your Calgary-based EllisDon team as Project/Construction Manager on the Foothills Medical Centre, was unparalleled. They not only brought in some 33 sub-projects involving over 500 trade packages in "on time and on budget", their partnering attitude and conduct was absolutely professional, to say the least. Their focus was solely on project objectives, and these they tended to with a highly organized, disciplined and dedicate manner. In addition, their implementation style was positive, dynamic and above all, friendly.

EllisDon's project leadership was professional and responsive during the preconstruction planning and construction of the projects affecting the operations of WestJet. They approached all aspects of the projects from the owner operational perspective with a complete understanding of the challenges facing our daily operations of an airlines business.

This research laboratory building is one of the most complex University buildings on the Clemson campus. The construction of this project requires careful coordination of all the subcontractors. To date, EllisDon has been wonderful to work with. The team in the field led by Bill Guedel and Les Taylor is first-rate. Of particular note is the team's ability to identify critical issues early, before they become problems.
