On behalf of Panattoni Development Company (“Panattoni”), I am pleased to provide this letter of
recommendation to Van Rooyen Construction (Alberta) Ltd. (“Van Rooyen”) for the site work preparation and improvements which were completed for our 19.5 acre PTI Group project located in Acheson, Alberta.
Van Rooyen was the successfully bidder for the entire site works project against several other earth
work contractors for the grading and grid and gravel improvements of a 19.5 acre yard for our build to
suit client, PTI Group Inc. Because this was our first experience working with Van Rooyen, our general
contractor, Dawson Wallace Construction, put Van Rooyen through an extensive interview process
before the final awarding of the project. Van Rooyen was impressive in the interview and hence was
awarded the project.
As the developer for the project, Panattoni has been very appreciative of the professionalism and quality
of work completed by Van Rooyen. In particular, having Randal Van Rooyen on the site making
decisions and operating the equipment to ensure the work was completed as per our engineered design
was very comforting. The feedback from our general contractor, site superintendent and other subcontractors on the project were all positive regarding the company and quality of work completed by Van Rooyen.
In addition to completing the project as per their tender submission, within the schedule parameters and
on budget with the contract price, Van Rooyen offered several value-added suggestions throughout the
construction of the project and which were incorporated into the final design.
It is our pleasure to recommend Van Rooyen to other prospective clients requiring an earth works
contractor and we will invite Van Rooyen to future tenders of our projects. Feel free to contract me at
(780) 409-8047 if you require additional information. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Brad Hoffman
Vice President Western Canada
