What our clients say

“

Freear Philip Construction have been the go-to contractors for Les Mills in Wellington due to their quality of workmanship and great understanding of business operations. As a project manager, my experience with Freear Philip’s has been positive in each of the projects we’ve worked on together. Freear Philip are a true team player on the project delivery team, they go above and beyond the expectations to ensure each project is completed and functioning perfectly before handing over. It is rare now to find proactive contractors who offer multiple solutions to construction challenges, but Freear Philip do this as their norm. I have been very impressed with the contractor management and speed of delivery on the Les Mills projects and would be happy to work with Freear Philip Construction in the future.

It’s always difficult for schools when there are major building projects on, but your guys have been fantastic. On behalf of our staff I just want to say it’s been a pleasure working with you. All your team have been absolutely outstanding. In all our interactions, site meetings and on site, you have been totally professional. You have done everything we have asked and some extras and there have never been any issues. When things have changed you’ve just worked with us and we really appreciate the work you have done and the attitude of your staff. It’s great to have our school back but we will miss you guys.
