“Colin is a man of integrity and skill.

“I have known Colin Shreeve over 30 years, during which time we have commissioned Mr Shreeve to undertake substantial construction works, including substantial Heritage works. From our long experience, we can testify that apart from his significant technical competence and broad knowledge of all aspects of construction, Colin Shreeve’s greatest attribute is his personal honesty and integrity which are absolutely without question, a quality that is becoming rare in the construction industry
As a Wood Floor Specialist, we have commissioned Colin to undertake a good deal of Forensic Investigation works relating to Moisture Ingress, Rising Damp, Sub-Floor Mechanical Ventilation Design and Installation Works, Drainage issues and “tricky” solutions to problems including the quite “unusual”.
In all these circumstances Colin Shreeve has maintained an exceptionally positive attitude through any situation and this is reflected among those who work with him. Colin’s professionalism in the conduct of his affairs is exemplary, in that he is a highly skilled craftsman with equally skilled and competent staff. Colin is also an excellent communicator who keeps his clients well informed of all aspects of the work and will actively seek to generate savings for his client wherever this might be appropriate.
In a time when it is difficult to find persons or organizations to praise about the conduct of their affairs, we are enthusiastic supporters of a man who runs a construction enterprise with such high standards of personal ethics and quality of workmanship.
I would have no hesitation in advising any prospective client that Colin Shreeve will undoubtedly deliver you excellent value for money and you can rest in the knowledge that you “will enjoy the experience”. Not a statement that can be made of many.”

“I have known Mr Colin Shreeve for over 14 years due to me being Civil and Structural Engineer on a variety of his building projects until my recent retirement. We have worked together in a co-operative manner where his extensive building knowledge and expertise has contributed to component design, re-designs and implementation.
One of Mr Shreeve’s many strengths is his ability to find practical solutions to problems.
Projects we have worked on together include:
(a) The research and development of an alternative building product and its various applications in residential and commercial projects.
(b) Civil works for a large subdivision including roads, all services, and their mains.
(c) Structural components in numerous buildings types throughout Sydney.
Following my inspections carried out at various stages on his building projects, I have found Mr Shreeve to be a very competent Builder. He has shown a good technical capacity and has a lengthy experience in the building industry.
I have been a qualified Engineer since 1969, have worked in an engineering company, for Parramatta City Council, and in later years run my own Consulting Engineer practice. During that time I have worked with many builders and I place Mr Shreeve up with the best of them. I can recommend him to satisfactorily undertake any building related project placed before him.”
