- I worked with Culver on a very demanding Food Processing Refurbishment scheme a couple of years ago. The project had exceptionally tight timescales, restrictions on budget expenditure and high quality requirements, all being managed through an ever changing client scope. Culvers ability to actively manage his internal designers, client's design team and contract administer the Main Construction Contractor was second to none. His interpersonal skills and great sense of humour makes working with Culver, whether as colleague, client or consultant a absolute pleasure.
- Culver worked with me at Premier Foods on a new building in the South West. He always displayed a high level of professionalism and took on board a broad role from Architect through to project review lead. Highly reliable, really personable and working to aligned safety standards with absolute integriy; I would not hesitate to recommend his work to others.
