Testimonials

“I would like to thank George Rutter and the team at Rutter Civil for the outstanding work they have carried out during the stormwater upgrade works for the Clutha District Council. Throughout the project, George and his team have shown a very high standard of workmanship and professionalism. The work site has always been kept safe and tidy, which has been greatly appreciated as I have children at home.

They have also taken great care to leave my property in excellent condition throughout the works. Communication from George has been excellent from start to finish. He has always kept me informed around work hours, upcoming works, and any changes to the schedule. As I work night shifts, I especially appreciated the consideration shown by George and his team in avoiding noisy work while I was sleeping.

It has been a pleasure dealing with such a respectful and hardworking team, and I would highly recommend George Rutter and Rutter Civil for any future civil or drainage works”.

Contract 905 - Gormack/Springfield Stormwater Renewal 2025

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for the exceptional work carried out on the Storm Water Project that commenced towards the end of last year.

From the very beginning, communication was excellent, clear, and easy to understand. We were kept well informed throughout the project and were always notified in advance of any disruptions to property access, including relevant dates and details. Whenever vehicle access to our property was unavailable, your team ensured there was always a safe and secure walkway accessible for ourselves and our neighbouring properties down the leg-in.

The worksite was consistently kept clean, tidy, secure, and free from hazards. Your team members were professional, approachable, and a pleasure to deal with throughout the duration of the project. The final clean-up and the reconstruction of the pavements, garden, and driveway were completed to an exceptionally high standard.

Thank you again for making the entire process so smooth and stress-free. Your team’s professionalism and workmanship are greatly appreciated”.

Contract 905 - Gormack/Springfield St Stormwater Renewal 2025

“I have recently had earthworks and installation of new stormwater pipes through the lawn at the front of my property.

Though the work could have been invasive and disruptive I found that the contractors to be very considerate and informative of what to expect at each stage of the work. The restoration and clean-up of my lawn and garden was carried out to a very high standard and I am very impressed with the quick growth of my new lawn.

I am very appreciative of having a pothole filled in my driveway when the neighbour’s adjoining drive was being sealed, something that I have been trying to have fixed for a long time.

Thank you to Rutter Civil Ltd and contractors for your professionalism and consideration and for a job well done”.
