Working with Encon Associates on the construction of the Heritage Skills Centre within the grounds of Lincoln castle has been a most enjoyable and rewarding experience.
The use of IESTaP project made monitoring completion of the credits far more visible and as project manager I was able to obtain reports very easily. Glenn managed the BREEAM process in an efficient manner, providing the right level of face-to-face interaction.
There is nothing but praise for Glenn’s efforts and determination and I would use this organisation as a BREEAM consultant on future projects.
