@ukbuilding: Delighted to have attended the @RIBASouthWest event at @Bristol_Beacon tonight. A complex and challenging transformation project. @LevittBernstein, @AlecFrenchArchs, @WillmottDixon. Such a fantastic building to provide “belonging and community” for music listeners.

The [Alec French] Team were always professional, pragmatic and transparent. They quickly integrated themselves as part of our team and delivered high quality information within extremely demanding circumstances on what was colloquially known as ‘a once in a lifetime project’.

The team were an absolute pleasure to work with, acting with both integrity and humility, and were fundamental to the successful delivery of the project.

We would have no hesitation in working with them again or providing anything other than a positive reference.
