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 land development improvements which have been completed on a number of our projects. Most recently they were awarded the 2014 earthwork contract for a 125 acre industrial subdivision in Acheson, Alberta.

Van Rooyen was the successfully bidder for the entire earthwork package against several other earth work contractors for the mass grading of the entire 125 acre subdivision, which included the construction of a 135,000 cubic meter storm water pond. Coincidently, as Van Rooyen was pushing for timely completion of the subdivision earthwork, we also awarded a 14-acre industrial yard to the company because of pleasant experiences with similar work. The entire 14 acre parcel was compacted, covered with geosynthetic fabric and grid, and 315mm of 40mm gravel. Both projects were completed timely and in keeping with our deadlines and budgets.

In addition to completing our projects as per their tender submissions, within the schedule parameters and on budget with the contract price, Van Rooyen offers several value-add suggestions throughout the construction of the project to ensure our ownership team understands their options and any circumstances surrounding material or methodology choices.

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.
