Testimonials

KOPWA
Roseville NSW
I would like to thank you again for the hard work you and your team have put into the successful completion of our Brookvale Centre. Your strong attention to keeping and improving the schedule is the major reason for the timeliness of completion. You have brought a great deal of experience that has been invaluable in a project of this size and is a key reason for its success. I am extremely proud of the centre and have enjoyed working with you to get it built. Total Construction has been working closely with Kennards Self Storage since 1994 and has successfully delivered over self-storage facilities. Given the absolute need to complete these projects on time and on budget, they have played a key role in the successful growth of our company."

I have been acquainted with Bill Franks and Steve Taylor of Total Construction for the last 15 years and in each setting, I’ve worked with the TOTAL team I have found them professional, responsive, proactive, and helpful. They have tremendous experience in Self Storage construction which is obvious, however it is their pre-construction advice and consulting where I have found them extremely helpful to me in my roles over the last 15 years and especially now with our developments with StorHub. Value engineering and creative construction methods are a particular strength of the team. Their knowledge and professionalism are second to none."

I choose to work with TOTAL for their standout knowledge of the Self Storage Industry, they have the background and the experience, and I have dealt with them for a number of years in other businesses and as an owner for several builds and projects that are currently in the pipeline. TOTAL are great in the way they collaborate. They are open and talk about solutions. A deal is a deal with them, they get through problems faster and we get through builds quicker. With our North Lakes Coomera and Pimpama projects, TOTAL exceeded our expectations, great quality projects, delivered on time and to budget. I have recommended Total Construction in the past and will continue to do so."

The recent facility fit out works Total Construction carried out for European Catering was conducted with utmost professionalism. From the first initial contact, working with Total Construction’s, Food and Beverage Division has been a pleasure. TOTAL’s approach to being along for the journey with their clients was both true and beneficial.

Throughout the process Total supplied our organisation and myself with comprehensive designs, advice, quotes, scope of works, and the rest works conducted was to the highest standard.

TOTAL successfully completed the design completion and construction of stage 1 of Central Park's Central Thermal Plant (CTP) and Tri-generation facility. Being the first of its kind in Australia for a mixed precinct, this project was highly complex and had many challenging aspects from commencement to completion. TOTAL 'stepped up to the plate' and produced a high quality, reliable plant, which now serves over 1,400 apartments and 13,500m2 of retail space. TOTAL's attitude, commitment and willingness to provide a quality outcome for all stakeholders is one of the reasons why we awarded the second and final stage of the CTP to Total Construction. We look forward to a long and rewarding relationship."
