4. “We have developed a great relationship
with the people from Retracom. The HOP
Program they offered enabled us cash
flow and flexibility in the early years of our
business whilst still being able to enjoy the
convenience of professional office space
with facilities. They have a high level of
communication which is really important
when you are living in a rural environment.
I would highly recommend Retracom
to anyone looking for portable building
solutions”….

10. “We are writing to thank you for the service and
assistance we received in the purchase of the
Retracom home which was installed upon at our
site in January 2012. From the initial tour of the
factory, to the quotation stage, onto the order stage
and finally the installation stage, the service we
received from Mr Kevin Mclachlan was outstanding.
All aspects of the transaction and installation were
smooth and eventless. After completion there were
a few very minor items which required attention
(which is usual with any home), and when I informed
Kevin, there was a service man here within the hour
to complete an assessment and materials list. All
items were completed the same day”.

view that it could deliver the good value, high
quality buildings that we required. The buildings
were delivered on schedule, and our requirements
were carefully attended to, including in particular,
the aesthetics needed to blend these buildings in
with the existing architecture and design on site.
Importantly we have had a positive response from
our staff on the quality of the new offices, this
outcome being an important consideration in our
decision making.
