Smith Construction completed a fantastic build at Moulsham Infant and Junior School. The project ran smoothly, both Morgan Sindall and the client are delighted with the end result. Morgan Sindall have worked with Smith Construction on numerous occasions and we hope to continue our working relationship in the coming years. Steve Holt, Morgan Sindall Chelmsford, Essex ...leaders in the sports construction industry As an independent sports pitch consultancy we have had dealings with Smith Sports and Civils Ltd over the summer months on two of our very important projects in the independent school sector. What particularly impresses us with Smiths Sports and Civils is not only their engineering competence but their organisation and responsiveness to queries, questions and ongoing issues that need resolving on complex sites. We believe you can tell a good contractor by measuring their approach to problem solving and Smiths are responsive and quick to act when a resolution is needed. The site staff are all competent and experienced and carry out engineering works which are sometimes of complex nature in a timely and proficient manner. This is supported by an excellent back office team that deal with paperwork, inquiries, tenders etc on an ongoing basis and in a clear concise manner. The result is that Smiths Sports and Civils make a positive contribution to the project team and ensure that the client is kept happy. The projects have been run with a complete team approach including the back office staff, who are very much involved and often in attendance on site and at meetings. This has been demonstrated many times over the years and in several instances this year. Whilst maintaining our objectiveness and independence we would always ordinarily include Smiths Sports and Civils in our tender process as we believe them to be among the leaders in the sports construction industry.

It’s now all hands on deck to complete the project, so it can be enjoyed by hundreds of local junior and adult football teams in the coming season Harry Lee, Eastleigh Borough Council Monks Brook Playing Fields, Eastleigh We feel particularly fortunate to have been able to work with Smiths This has been an enormous project for our villages and has been driven by the community itself, with over one-third of all the funding coming from within the village, which itself is a great achievement and demonstrates the level of local support. Our residents, particularly the children are absolutely delighted with all aspects of the scheme and even the early-doubters have turned into ardent supporters. The local school will be making daily use of the tennis and All Weather facilities. We feel particularly fortunate to have been able to work with Smiths, as Main Contractors.

High recommend Smith's, high in expertise, common sense and easy to deal with! John Buckles - Bursar Saint Ronan's School, Kent Excellent grasp of what we wanted to achieve... Smiths’ project and design team had an excellent grasp of what we wanted to achieve here at Charterhouse, right from the start, and they provided a very competitive tender, with cost effective solutions to our specific design needs. They provided the final pitch and court construction designs, along with technical calculations for the sustainable site drainage scheme. They also appreciated the very sensitive nature of construction on a heritage site, and they appreciate that conservation is very important to us. Smith Construction’s team carried out sensitive enabling works and tree protection before anything else could be started, and they worked with us to satisfy 37 planning conditions. Laszlo Dudas, Estate Bursar Charterhouse, Godalming Magnificient and Excellent Job I am writing to thank you and your workmen for constructing our driveway, They worked hard and did a magnificent and excellent job.

This has been carried out with as little inconvenience as possible. We have been kept informed at all times as to what was happening. Everyone was polite, efficient, helpful and well mannered and at the end of each day areas were cleaned. Thank you for everyone for keeping disruption to a minimum, you all should be highly commended. Mrs G Billinghay, Lincolnshire Efficiency and attention to detail... We are very pleased with the refurbishment of the much-loved astro turf at Hollybush Lane. The facility looks very smart and we have been impressed with the efficiency and attention to detail of the Smith Construction contractors. With the club now playing in the Premiership of England Hockey, the top ten teams in the country will, I'm sure, be impressed with our home pitch, which will be a great asset to the continued success of Sevenoaks Hockey Club. Lynn Dawson, Facility Manager Sevenoaks Hockey Club Very best value for the job... Smith Construction installed a new artificial grass pitch at our grounds, complete with lighting, fencing and a new car park, for use by our two hockey clubs. Our project manager recommended holding interviews with the three lowest tenderers, and it was clear that Smith's are fully in tune with the needs and processes for the installation, whilst not being the lowest tenderer. They suggested small changes to the specification which would be advantageous in the longer term. It soon became clear that Smith's would be the very best value for the job. The installation was carried out efficiently, and on time, in spite of some inclement weather, and because the contractor employs the workmen directly, and owns their own groundworks equipment, there was no delay waiting for subcontractor delivery. The only subcontract work was the fencing and lighting, but it was obvious that these firms work together well and efficiently. At all times our contact with the staff and men on site could hardly have been better. There was a very acceptable attitude of 'give and take' whenever difficulties may have arisen. Their paperwork claims for payment were accurate and provided within hours of the request, enabling our claims to the funding organisation to be submitted on time. In short, we recommend this firm very, very highly. We know you will be given honest and straightforward advice, and the quality of the installation must be second to none. Certainly our hockey players consider that it is the best pitch they have used. We have nothing but praise for Smith Construction, and for our Project Manager, Neil McHugh of MUGAukLtd. David Dawson - Chairman Lindum Sports Association, Lincolnshire What a great bunch of lads.... What a great bunch of lads, what they had done yesterday looked fantastic! I am very impressed with the workmanship and professionalism they have shown. Thank you for all your help. Ms B Scopwick, Lincolnshire Wow Factor... The all-weather hockey pitch at Worth School, constructed by Smith Construction, is in a spectacular location it certainly has a 'Wow' factor. I was extremely happy with the service provided and the quality of the pitch constructed by Smiths. It took some time to decide on the location and Smiths were very patient, surveying a number of sites before we chose the eventual location. This was not an easy site, involving extensive cut and fill, however Smith rose to the challenge with their professionalism and experience, constructing a pitch of which we are very proud. I cannot recommend Smiths too highly and would certainly employ them again for future sports pitches. Rev. Aidan Murray - Bursar Worth Abbey School, West Sussex Your workman are a credit to you...
