“The work was completed promptly to the highest standard and a meticulous job was performed to complement the spectacular grounds of “Lornado”. At the same time this work was in progress, using the critical path method, was completing a major repair of interlock stone. This combined repair and construction project was completed ahead of schedule and the quality of craftsmanship exceeded expectations of all stakeholders. “
