Rob Hooker MCIOB | Director, Greendale Construction

Greg Daniels | Quantity Surveyor, Glossbrook Builders Ltd
“I have used Harvey Electrical for a number of years across a variety of projects at our Canford site. I continue to use them because of their extensive knowledge and skills, the wide scope of works they can support us with and the consistently high standard of their work.
Their customer service is excellent, they are reliable and punctual, and they are always happy to answer questions and work with us as project requirements develop. Due to their professionalism, standard of work and reliability, I have recommended Harvey Electrical to other professionals I work with.”
Neil Nicholas | Operations Manager | Avon Material Supplies
“Harvey Electrical have always proven to be proactive in all regards on the projects they have been appointed for. They bring strong industry knowledge, are a well-respected supply chain partner and are easy to communicate with.
They consistently demonstrate a good understanding of the project, technical knowledge and experience, practical advice, problem solving, planning and quality of installation. That is why we continue to ignore the industry marketplace and use who we know and trust.”
Tony Adshead LLM, MCIOB | Operations Director |
Space Industries Ltd
“One of James's strengths is being prepared to get involved in the detail rather than just pricing what is put in front of him. We have involved Harvey Electrical from early design and coordination through to installation, commissioning and completion.
They are willing to get involved early, work through issues with the wider team and offer practical input rather than simply identifying a problem. We have built up a good working relationship with James and his team, and they understand the way we work.”
Dan Cox | Construction Director | Birchmere Group
“Harvey Electrical are good to work with, with great communication, good technical knowledge and a responsive, ‘can do’ approach rather than being adversarial or obstructive.
On 38 Sandbanks Road they reviewed the client's lighting scheme and offered a better, more cost-effective alternative. They worked well with the mechanical contractor and site management to coordinate the works and resolve clashes and design issues.
The quality of work was very good, and they remained responsive to any issues that arose as the finished building came into use.”
Ian Seymour | Commercial Director | Glossbrook Builders Ltd
“ Managing the project for the the principal contractor, I had the pleasure of working with James and the Harvey electrical team on a high-end, complex new build office building in Poole. The project required a high level of attention to detail and service due to the complexity and demands of the scheme. We were provided with well-planned M&E designs, quality products, and good consistent workforce to undertake the project, including a lead electrician who helped support the project as it evolved. The Harvey team went above what was required of them and resolved any issues promptly when the inevitable design and client changes occurred. The scheme was a success, delivering a top-quality product, resulting in a happy client. I’d thoroughly recommend Harvey electrical services to any future contractors and developers.”
Josh | Senior Site Manager | Glossbrook Builders LTD.
“We have enjoyed working with James and his team on a number of projects over the years and have always found his approach very helpful from the initial enquiry to final completion.
Chris Kane | BSc (Hons) Build MCIOB | Director
“We've worked with Harvey Electrical for over 20 years across a wide range of refurbishment, new-build and commercial projects, including schools, care settings and specialist facilities.
What we value most is that Harvey Electrical understand the complete project rather than simply focusing on their own package. They work collaboratively with our site teams, consultants, other trades and clients, providing technical input, practical solutions and value engineering where appropriate.
Their technical knowledge, reliability, quality and willingness to take ownership of their work have made them our No.1 approved M&E contractor. We see Harvey Electrical as an M&E project delivery partner rather than simply a subcontractor.”
