“My wife and I are delighted with our new barn and horse shelter which were both constructed quickly and on schedule. Chris the construction manager communicated with us at all stages of the build which kept us well informed during the process. The barn itself is a great space which is free from poles and supports which allows us to utilise the entire space. The outside lean-to provides excellent shelter for my wife's horses. We would have no hesitation in recommending Totalspan North Canterbury to others. Thanks a lot Totalspan North Canterbury from some happy customers.”

“Totalspan North Canterbury were able to deliver when push came to shove. Building is a challenging industry and Totalspan were able to deliver and meet our strict deadlines for the project. We set a tight timeframe of October to January and Totalspan performed under pressure and deliver even with all the red tape from councils and other industries.
My experience with dealing with Totalspan was very professional, responsive to my requests and found their office and site staff very knowledgable. The Totalspan North Canterbury team were very skilled and motivated to please. I decided to build with Totalspan as their prices were very competitive and they offered ideal design/materials for our purpose. Totalspan’s workmanship was consistently good. There were many positive aspects to using Totalspan, durability, clear span, multi shaped internals and tidy look to name a few. Overall the building met our requirements, it is ideal for our business and purpose.”John Coers - Director of Lock Box Storage — North Canterbury

To the team at Totalspan North Canterbury. Big thanks to John, Kieran and Stephanie. You guys have been so helpful from start to finish. The boys who put the shed up did an amazing job. I can't fault anything. It is perfect. Had lots of interest so will leave the Totalspan sign on the gate.
