Point Cook Senior Secondary College

"...(being) aware of the timelines we had to meet to get the school to the point where we could even open the doors of the relocatables, the general feel to our opening was positive and happy.

Most of this is directly due to the work of Shanley who managed to turn a fairly good chance at a delayed opening into an attractive and secure arrangement of relocatables that have done a lot to restore our community's faith in the school after repeated delays with the (main) building program. Adrian himself was a key driver in this, and I don't know whether this is typical of his organisation or not, but he had the happy knack of getting things done quickly, on time, and to a quality finish.

After the last nine months of building this was a nice change. This mob probably cost more (we don't!), but if you added up the cost of employing them against the benefits they can achieve for a school in our position, especially in terms of public perception and long term enrolments, they are well worth it."

"We have been very impressed with the work undertaken by Shanley Management Services at Surrey Hills Primary School over the last 2 months. David Kiernan has been outstanding to work with and the tradesmen on-site have been polite, considerate of school needs and co-operative with the timing and convenient provision of works. I would particularly like to comment on David's manner and management of the project. He has communicated very clearly with the school regarding timelines, site access and works being undertaken. Surrey Hills PS is on a very small 1.1 hectare site and the addition of 10 portables and 3 toilet blocks has left very little outside area for the students. In addition street parking is limited and access narrow.

David ensured minimal disruption to students with such things as deliveries always timed during school times when students were in class, working with our priority needs with regards to the order of the works and enabling access for an early move into classrooms. In addition David has been a frequent visitor to the site ensuring progress of the works and checking fine detail. Nothing has been too much trouble and he returns calls promptly and follows through immediately. I would like to pass on our thanks to David and your company for enabling our school to operate with minimal disruption and a smooth transition to our temporary classrooms. We would be happy to provide a recommendation to others regarding the works at Surrey Hills PS."
