Testimonials

  • Vertical Transport Upgrade - Henderson Train Station - John Fillmore Contracting Limited

    JFC contracted DC Construction Consultants to assist with Quantity Surveying tasks on the Henderson Vertical Transport Asset Upgrade Project for Auckland Transport.

    The project included the removal and replacement of 3 x Lifts and 2 x Escalators at Henderson Station utilizing Schindler as a Nominated Subcontractor for installation, and with JFC being responsible to Project Manage and carry out the required builders work to facilitate the Works. 

    The builders work included several Provisional Sums that needed to be scoped in collaboration with Auckland Transport and their agents, Schindler, and several local jobbing contractors. DC Construction Consultants, working in close collaboration with JFC’s project manager, procured the various subcontractors, priced the work scope, submitted and agreed variations in replacement of the provisional sums, and handled the monthly processes and final account of JFC’s Payment Claims to Auckland Transport and Payment Schedules to subcontractors successfully.

  • Middlemore bridge screens - Variation assessment

    DC Consultants provided a third party assessment for a variation that was particularly complex for a project I was working on. His insights helped me frame the later discussions with the other party and ensure that we were providing value for money for the end client. They are able to pick things up quickly and provide clear guidance which is greatly appreciated. - John Edward (Frequency Senior Associate - Transport Sector Lead)

  • KiwiRail Cost Review

    I've had a great experience working with Dane. He's responsive, communicates clearly, and is always willing to provide practical advice when needed. He has a strong ability to evaluate complex project scopes, break them down into manageable components, and provide accurate, well-considered cost advice. While my experience with Dane has primarily been in budget estimating, I know he offers a much broader range of services, and I'd have no hesitation recommending him. - Ricky Jackson (Frequency - Senior Associate Project Management)
