on two projects associated with the West Plaza Building complex".
"For both these projects, we have found Argon Construction to be cost
effective, efficient in the site process and able to communicate correctly
with the tenants in the building affected by the construction. As the
client, we found Argon Construction personnel and their sub-contractors, to
be polite and fully briefed on the requirements of working in a
multi-tenanted building".

dollars. The cost control exercised by Argon and the financial reporting

Dallas Graham
Principal
Project: Timpson House, Westmere
"Argons work on the Timpson House at Westmere deserves comment. They won the tender for the completion of this complex $1.3m house following the collapse of the initial contractor. Argon effectively rescued this project by managing to restore the quality standards which had dissipated as the original contractor struggled. The final result was a project finished to the exacting standards demanding by the architecture and one with which both the client and architect were well satisfied. Argon demonstrated on this project an ability to 'go the extra mile' to ensure a high quality product at reasonable cost."
"We have no hesitation in stating that Argon have all the skills available to produce finished work of a high standard and have demonstrated this consistently in their work with JASMAX."
Jeffery Wells
Architect/Director
"Their workmanship, management and administration were found to be excellent and they were professional to deal with. In particularly their level of 'in house' staff skill and their ability to manage sub-contractors was of a very high standard."
"The design of the house demanded a very high level of finish and an understanding of complex detailing detail. To this end, Argon met our exceptions and the finished project represented the vision that we had set out to achieve."

"I am delighted to have the opportunity to write a reference for Tom Cashen and Argon Construction - who rescued our home from structural collapse and restored it to an impeccable standard over 10 months in 1999/2000."
"Over the 10 months it took Argon to restore our home and complete the original alterations we remained impressed by their craftsmen-like approach, total commitment to detail and dedication to delivering an outstanding quality of work. It was truly a delight to move back into our home after more then 12 months and find it restored so perfectly."
"I cannot recommend them more highly to anyone fortunate enough to have them work on any construction project and would be pleased to discuss Argon's work in more detail if that would be of assistance."

Project: NZ Pavilion Expo 1992
Client: Expo ’92 Ltd
“I had the opportunity as the project architect to visit the New Zealand
Pavilion at Expo 92 in Seville Spain last October.
I must congratulate Argon Construction on the excellent standard of
workmanship achieved on the pavilion.
I particularly stress this fact in knowing the difficult working environment
that your company had to cope with in Seville where building conditions and
regulations are quite different to New Zealand.
Furthermore Argon Construction achieved this excellent result without on
site supervision or on site guidance in interpreting the architect’s
detailed drawings.
Your company’s positive attitude towards achieving a well built job on time
and on budget is exemplary, well done Argon.”
