"The Building occupies 90 percent of the site
which produced challenges in environmental clean-up and material storage and
handling during construction. The difficulties associated with working on a
tight and confining site were overcome with good site management and support
from the entire team. The quality of workmanship, attention to detail and
professionalism of staff resulted in a beautiful building completed on
schedule, and one that we are proud of. Of particular mention was the urgent
execution, competent project and site management. Full support from head
office, amicable handling of change orders and claims. Warranties are also
fully respected with timely response.
Congratulations on a job well done!"

"The New College Residence project had several
challenging characteristics. The site was very confined located at our downtown
campus and this architectural award winning facility had several challenging
constructability elements. However, the most critical aspect of the project was
the need to have it completed for student occupancy for the 2003/2004 academic
year, presenting a demanding construction schedule. We were pleased that
Kenaidan successfully managed these challenges in a professional manner. Your
project staff, with the full support of senior management, executed a
construction program that gave us the results we were looking for - a
successful building occupancy!
Based on your performance on this project Kenaidan
is ranked in our preferred list of general contractors. We appreciate your
team's efforts, professionalism, hard work and contribution to this successful
project."

"West Park Healthcare Centre worked with
Kenaidan Contracting as our general contractor in the construction of the
centre's 200-bed long-term care centre. We found Kenaidan to be dedicated to
making our vision a reality.
Kenaidan managed the sub-trades in a way that maximized
service, while effectively controlling the demands for extras. They provided
professional and knowledgeable staff to our project, from the contract manager
to the site superintendent. They worked hand-in-hand with us as partners to
deal expeditiously with unforeseen circumstances.
It has been a pleasure working with Kenaidan, and
we would not hesitate to consider them for future projects."

"We have completed several institutional
projects with Kenaidan Contracting Ltd. over the years.
We have found their management teams to be highly
professional and cooperative, and able to deal with the complex bureaucracy
that often accompany such projects.
Our firm has designed many projects for clients
such as York University and as such has worked with
many general contractors. We would rank Kenaidan Contracting Ltd. at the very
top five percentile."

"Kenaidan Contracting Ltd. has been the
contractor for two recent projects. The first was the design build, $40
million+ Cara Flight Kitchen facility; and the second was the West Park
Healthcare Centre, 200 bed, long-term care facility operated by Extendicare Canada.
Our experience has been excellent in that Kenaidan
has met the aggressive schedules of both projects, while maintaining a level of
quality equal to our expectations. Their commitment to the projects is evident
in the quality of teams, their resources, their organizational skills, and
their fairness."

"We wish to acknowledge the vital contribution
that Kenaidan Contracting Ltd. has made toward the successful construction of
the three sets of silos. The partnering effort put forth with St. Marys Cement
Inc., the consultants and other contractors, for the design and construction of
the three 65 metre tall West Clinker Silos in a record seven months is
particularly appreciated.
Your innovative methods of slip form construction,
and the experience and flexibility of your on-site management and labour were
key components for completion of the Clinker Silos fast track.
We look forward to working with Kenaidan on
projects in the future."
C.K. Evans, P.Eng.
Construction Manager, St. Marys Cement Inc.
"Your firm worked closely with the consultant
team in overcoming a challenging project with a tight three and a half month
schedule. Kenaidan field staff worked diligently and co-operatively maintaining
our operations and working carefully around the thoroughbred horses"
