“The great strength that George and his firm bring to school work is their knowledge of the education sector and, in particular, George’s experience in that sector. George very well understands the importance of linking property development to how students learn and to how teachers teach. He and his colleagues are very practised at listening to a school’s requirements and philosophy and ensuring that that is incorporated into design.” – Rangitoto College – 2003
