Shearmac Aluminium

Galletly Builders Ltd has been using Shearmac as its primary Aluminium Joinery Supplier for several years for both residential and commercial projects. We have always found their service and sales team support to be excellent. Shearmac has been a valuable asset in assisting us to win competitive projects and support us in situations where we have challenging timeframes. We would recommend using Shearmac without hesitation.

Shearmac Aluminium was appointed the contract for the supply and installation of the aluminium joinery at our completed Hotel refurbishment project at 165 Cashel St, which was rebranded “Breakfree on Cashel”. The project involved seismically upgrading the two existing buildings and completely refurbishing these buildings, which comprise the largest hotel in Christchurch with 263 rooms. The contract initially involved the supply only of new double glazing units to one of the facades damaged by adjacent demolition; Shearmac was able to offer an unmatched lead time for these at a very competitive price. As the scope of the project progressed, so did the size of the aluminium package, with another substantial stage added to construction, including a complex frameless glass entry lobby and several other windows and doors, more than doubling the scope of the project. This was no problem to Shearmac, who took on the challenge and were able to deliver their project on time and within an ever-tightening construction programme. We worked together on some of the details and created some bespoke detailing using some of the profiles available to Shearmac, with some fantastic results. After the completion of a hassle-free project, I have no reservations in recommending Shearmac Aluminium for future commercial works.

Shearmac have met their budget and performed with the highest of professionalism given the construction program was very tight in a very complex build. Their attention to detail and workmanship has been excellent. Our Foreman and staff have found them to be capable and skilled on site. Calder Stewart would recommend Shearmac for any future work.
