Quality of Work - APW employed to install windows so judged on line and level and final fit which was excellent. No out of tolerance fitting noted throughout project. Management of Project - Very good with site based working Black Hat Supervisors. Works were generally carried out by small teams of two or three operatives and managed work load very well. Visiting managers were light touch and very few occasions I had to raise concerns but was quickly discussed and executed. Directors always available to discuss issues communication - Very good pre contract and very little contractual discussions need once works started on site. Site Operatives - APW have some really good fitters and my experience were user friendly, compliant to our safety and management regime at Wates. Site Operatives - Repeat business securing my next project is in large part down to the quality of operatives we deal with daily and expect ongoing performance to be maintained.
