I have worked alongside Harris Associates for several years now and have found them to be extremely knowledgeable, approachable and effective. They have a fantastic understanding of the requirements of the various government funding initiatives for cladding remediation and have a team of hard working experts starting from the top down. My clients found Harris Associates to be so effective, they have retained them for other projects including external redecoration and upgrades to the concierge lobby!

Harris Associates are only ever a phone call away and every member of their team I have had the pleasure of working with has been precise, expert and all have a ‘can do’ approach with no question ever being ‘silly’. Specifically wish to mention Shaun, Luke, Tamer, James & Isabel for their unwavering support and assistance, whenever it's been needed.
