This letter is written as a recommendation letter in support of general contractors The John Hayman & Sons Co. Ltd. Huron College selected this company for two major projects.

During construction it was my responsibility to act on behalf of Huron College related to cost control, change orders, and related operational needs I was present at all site meetings. Both projects were on time, on budget, and workmanship, particularly in the 1991 classroom wing, has stood the test of time. Our Food Court is running through 4,000 to 5,000 students a day and wear and tear, although early, has been minimal. My most important experience in dealing with both George and Bob Hayman and their supervisors, has been the desire displayed by them to work as a team (client, builder, architect, sub-trades, engineers), in order to reach the main project objectives. The construction of our classroom wing took place during the academic term, so somehow we had to minimize the noise level to allow for teaching, exam writing, and basic residential living. We achieved this with minimal disruption, a testimony to their sensitivity to client operational needs.

I would highly recommend this general contractor, particularly given their strong experience at University and College construction, but more importantly because they will listen and do their absolute utmost to comply with your project goals and objectives.

Yours truly,
