Nicholls and Uttinger Civil Ltd were the lead contractor on the Colville Road Slip Repairs package of works which included three slip sites.
During the contract, communications were maintained (even with the poor reception on site). N&U Civil Ltd Project & Contract Managers would go out of their way to find reception to provide updates and QA testing records.
- Romahn Howard, Pinnacles Civil
Right from the start the communication was excellent. They made life easy for us when we had to make sure we had access at certain times.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
- Ian Buck
The N&U Civil Ltd project team were easy to work with and made for a successful delivery of these sites. The works were completed under budget and within the specified programme.
I would be happy to discuss my experiences working with N&U Civil Ltd and would gladly work with them again in the future.
- Romahn Howard, Pinnacles Civil
Nicholls & Uttinger were recommended to us by another smaller contractor who was unable to do our job. It proved to be a fantastic result for us.
– Ian Buck
Your team has been great to deal with and HD Geo and Pinnacles have been impressed with how you have delivered the works.
– George Dimec, Waitomo District Council
