Stavros and all the team at 'Rekaris: Designed Engineering' did a wonderful job on our project. From the initial consultation, through to design and project management throughout the build, they were transparent and professional at all times.

Report
Our project consisted of retrofitting an elevator to travel over 4 levels in our townhouse. Stavros and his firm did everything from the initial consultations with a difficult Council to the final plans and specifications for the building company. During the process we found Stavros to be very approachable and full of good ideas for our projects do we would highly recommend him.
