Our company decided to upgrade our offices. The contract was awarded to D3 Construction. The Directors and staff were easy to do business with and epitomised a company that truly understands what customer service means. A number of changes were made to the scope of work and the team were most accommodating. Cost was a secondary discussion as customer satisfaction was what D3 strived for. One of the aspects of value added was the guidance and advice that was readily available. The quality of work was good and the end result was a beautiful building. We have used the services of D3 on a number of occasions since then and they have not ceased to delight.

We are an Architectural firm and have been involved on various commercial, industrial and residential projects with D3 Construction, and from our experience with them, have found their commitment to each project undertaken exemplary and administered with professional integrity at all times. Their desire to ensure that the final building met the clients requirements without compromise to standards of quality or finishes is echoed in their underlying motto of ‘doing the job correctly’ . Their continued professionalism and commitment to excellence, was evident in the performance and loyalty of their labour, their staff and their subcontractors on site, and was carried through to the high quality of finishes of the buildings. Their desire to maintain ongoing liaison with the client and professional teams appointed throughout the contract period created an inclusive environment of team work and this was continued in their co-ordination of their teams in conjunction with additional client appointed direct subcontractors for specialised work. Their ability for efficient coordination of the labour and plant and material handling as well as an efficient pre-empting of potential requirements ensured that contract programmes were maintained.. Any problems that may have been encountered on site were assessed and managed in a positive and a hands-on manner by D3 Construction, with nothing ever being viewed as an obstacle or a potential delay. All involved directly with D3 Construction on the various projects, favoured working with them and the respect and loyalty shown by all working for them, is a further credit to their credibility, abilities, and high ethical and professional standards which assisted in developing the projects towards a very successful outcome. It has always been an absolute pleasure to work with D3 Construction and we have no reservations in submitting our recommendation.

The success of a building project, throughout its’ conception, construction phase and handover is due primarily to the team assembled to energise and complete the work. As an architectural professional, part of my responsibility to my client is to firstly recommend and subsequently work with proficient, well-managed and fairly-priced contractors. The contractor is expected to deliver high quality workmanship, timely completion, safe and orderly construction procedures and site management, a wide scope of construction skills and resourcefulness, and importantly a cooperative spirit that
keys-in with the client, professionals and sub-contracting team to work effectively together to provide the best solution for the project. At all times, I have found that D3 have delivered in every one of these aspects. I believe in providing the best service and solution for every project, whether it is deemed small and simple or complex and costly. D3 clearly share a similar vision in meeting the client’s expectations through dispensing their own contractor’s responsibility professionally no matter how big or small the undertaking. The design of a building is arguably only completed when the final coat of paint has been applied. This understanding and with the complete cooperation of Willie du Plessis and Craig du Plessis in engaging with and embracing the challenges that this on-site dynamism presents has been of great value the client, professional team and ultimately the final product. In my experience, D3 have consistently met every desirable expectation of a top contracting firm, and together with their numerous years of broad construction experience, their solid and professional documentation and honest and dependable service, this gives me confidence to continue working with D3 and to recommend them to other professionals and importantly to my clients.

We have been doing business with D3 construction for the last 15 years and have given them more than R60 million worth of business. We found them to be most reliable and honest and would never consider another contractor other then them. We use them for the most smallest of jobs right up to building specialized factories. Mr. Du Plessis and his son Craig are the nicest people to do business with.

“Trefoil and I have had a relationship with D3 Construction dating back to 1996. D3 has been involved in four industrial developments housing the operations of Trefoil and a significant residential development for me personally. In all projects the approach was professional resulting in a quality product delivered on time to the right specification. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending D3 to anyone who wants a good building translating into a proper capital investment.”
