What people are saying
I am writing to provide a wholehearted recommendation for Scott Construction based on our collaborative work on the recently completed Te Rau Kawakawa – Buller Health Facility in Westport. As the Project Principal for the project, I had the pleasure of working closely with Ben Turnbull and his team throughout the entire construction process.
Scott Construction demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and commitment to quality during the construction of Te Rau Kawakawa. Their attention to detail, adherence to timelines, and ability to effectively address unforeseen challenges were commendable - the success of the project can be attributed in no small part to Scott Construction’s dedication to delivering a high standard of workmanship.
One of the key strengths of Scott Construction is their effective communication and collaboration skills. Throughout the project, Ben maintained open lines of communication, providing regular updates on progress and promptly addressing any concerns or inquiries. This proactive approach significantly contributed to a smooth construction process and fostered a positive working relationship between our teams.
The quality of the build exhibited by Scott Construction is evident in the final product. The attention to detail and the precision with which they executed the design were outstanding - Ben and his team consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence, resulting in a building that not only meets but exceeds our expectations.

Scott’s have done a great job in Westport, one of - if not the - top performing contractor and it’s been noted by IAG. This is due to the hard work from the guys hammering the nails to you guys in the office crunching numbers.

“I found Scotts to be a high quality contractor , easy to work with and solutions focused. The few niggles we had were due to design flaws and not construction. They did not walk away from issues when they could have, but stayed involved and were committed to helping find a solution. The construction foreman was superb, finding solutions and accommodating changes that we requested in a positive way. Their approach to H&S was comprehensive and effective. Having Justin to go to for local and quick decision making (even though it was hardly needed ) was valuable.
I felt the project was well run and managed by Scotts and that I would happily work with them on future projects.”
“Over the past 20 years, I have worked directly with Kevin Scott, managing director of Scott Construction Ltd on numerous projects in my capacities as a Commercial- Industrial Real Estate agent, building owner and property syndicator.
Currently Scotts are constructing an additional 1,000m2 fourth floor to the Monro State Building on Bridge Street for the Monro Syndicate.
Kevin has the capable assistance of Justin Candish, Project Manger, on this project. Their pragmatic and creativity approach to solving the intricate problems that arise from adding an entire new floor to the existing structure is outstanding and we are very pleased with the work they’ve done for us. I would note their strengths as being client focused, aware of cost constraints, able to think laterally and come up with innovative solutions.
An example of this is the flooring for the additions to the Monro Building, it was prefabricated off site and thus sped the job up and minimized noise disturbance to the existing Tenants. Scotts have the ability to concentrate on the solution, not the problem. Through the years, Scott Construction Ltd have been on time and on budget with their projects which I have had involvement. I recommend them without hesitation and would hire them again given the need.”
“We worked together with Scott Construction on several large-scale commercial projects over the last 3 years. As a main contractor we found Scott Construction very good to work with, their administration and site management was very good and construction quality is to very high levels.
It is always encouraging from an architects perspective when an architect like Scotts is genuinely interested in keeping the Architectural integrity of the design throughout the construction process. Scotts were professional in all aspects and thorough in their workmanship and communication, it is without hesitation i would recommend them as a competent main contractor to any prospective client”
“Scott Construction are a polished performer who are enthusiastic, interactive, engaging, and always positive. They always make themselves available; how can we help is the catch phrase used all the time.
They have always added value at each stage of the process. Principally the difference that sets Scott Construction aside, is that they are leaders. They are nice guys that are willing, engaging, committed and professional. I would absolutely recommend Scott Construction to friends or other businesses, in many instances they have finished before and ahead of schedule and they have looked at ways to reduce our costs.”
“We are currently involved in a top end residential project with Scott Construction. They were selected to submit a negotiated tender over other prominent construction companies and were awarded the contract at the beginning of this year.
The project is a challenging concrete house that incorporates some complicated detailing with very little margin for error. The clients are exacting and we require a very high level of finish in all of our projects. The ability to perform to a high standard on site, but also to monitor cost, programme and contractual obligations while effectively managing sub-contractors is very important to us and Scott Construction have performed exceptionally well in this regard.
Scott Construction has very good communication channels that allow decisions to be made quickly while keeping the appropriate people informed. Their well organised office and administration structure and excellent construction staff have kept the project running over what has been a trying winter weather period.
I have no hesitation in recommending Scott Construction Ltd for projects and would definitely use them again the future. I am happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the performance and ability of Scott Construction Ltd.”
