Comments and Reviews

Having worked with hundreds of clients and candidates, we're proud to share some of our client's and candidate's feedback:

My experience with Building Environs was a pleasure from beginning to end. Martin was extremely professional and comprehensive in his approach, the process was efficient and concise and I was never left waiting or unsure.
Couldn’t ask for better.

Matt B

Site Manager

I recently returned to Australia after having worked in Asia for many years. Martin provided invaluable assistance in helping me know my value in the Australian job market and presenting me with attractive opportunities

Martin D

Senior Project Manager

Martin has been absolutely amazing throughout the whole recruitment process! I have never met such a professional and dedicated recruitment person. I cannot thank you enough for your full support, for believing in me and for helping me start a new chapter of my professional career within just one week! Martin, you are brilliant at what you do.

Martin Preece of Building Environs Recruitment provided true professionalism and support to enable the securement of my new employment in an efficient timeframe.

Peter B

Senior Estimator

Martin was very diligent is his approach and offered roles that were specifically suited to what I was after. Martin delivered on what was promised. I have no hesitation in referring Martin to anyone looking to make a change.

Ross M

Construction Manager

Martin initially approached me for a Construction Managers role. The company held an extremely detailed interview process…..

Having used recruitment companies throughout my career I tend to find them shallow and poor at people management. Martin’s honesty throughout the whole process was refreshing. There was no sugar coating, he was forthcoming in his advice and for this I could not recommend him more highly.

Martin continued to follow up.

Darren M

Operations Manager

Martin assisted us in an fast and efficient manner to provide us with a candidate that met all our requirements with a minimum amount of time required from our end.

Sharon N

Head of Contracts

Made time to find out about our business, both in size and operation and sought out a candidate with good attributes in a tight market.

Steve B

Director

Professional from start to finish, weekly updates on progress, only hand picked applicants put forward. Each applicant I interviewed was suited to the position, with the most experienced being successful.

David J

State Manager

I found Martin to operate professionally and give sound career advice when consulting with me. He was very honest in his approach, and had very thorough background knowledge of employers that he works with. I can honestly vouch for Martin – as far as dealings with recruiters go, my dealings with Martin were by far the best I’ve had and I recommend anyone who is seeking a new role or even just career advice, to reach out to Martin for the opportunity.
