Having worked with Read Construction on several projects, over numerous years, it is apparent that the company has developed a strong identity, as evidenced by the polite and professional manner of its entire staff and their understanding that the success of any construction project depends upon an open, honest and collaborative approach. The works on site were orderly and well managed throughout the contract. In conclusion, a job well done and appreciated by all.
