Halifax International Airport Authority - Power System Upgrade and New Pumping Station

"From February 2016 - July 2018 Michael Eakin provided comprehensive Project Management services on two of our major capital projects. The first was an extensive $14 million upgrade to the electrical power infrastruct\ure. Michael's outstanding contribution to this project made it a resounding success. The second project was the $6 million replacement of the airports sanitiary pumping station. Michael effectively dealt with all aspects of the project and was instrumental in finding a resolution to budget issues identified in the concept design phase.

Throughout his engagement with HIAA, Michael has proven to be a consummate professional with a sharp eye for detail and an excellent understanding of the construction industry. His positive approach to problem solving has been appreciated by the many stakeholders with whom he interacted, and he was a reliable and trusted Owner's representative."

Duncan MacMillan Nursing Home - Sheet Harbour

"From 2007-2012, Eastin Projects Limited provided project managment services to the Duncan MacMillan Nursing Home Society for the planning, design and construction of the Harbourview Lodge Continuing Care Centre, in Sheet Harbour, Nova Scotia.

It was very important for our organization to select a partner with the depth of experience needed to lead and manage our project. We enjoyed working collaboratively with Eastin through the course of the project which included design, Pre-Construction, Procurement, Construction, Commissioning and Warranty phases. The Eastin team, in particular, Paul Kelly created and fostered a great working relationship with all of the project stakeholders. Paul was paramount to ensuring the process was one of engagement and support. Throughout this initiative we worked effectively as an integrated team, and as a rusult we're extremely happy with the project outcomes. The project has met the expectations of our organization, the Department of Health and our partners.

The DMNH is very pleased with Eastin's efforts on this project and would not hesitate in recommeding their services to others."

Colonial Honda - New Retail Facility

"When I was planning this project, I was quite concerned that I knew nothing about construction, and that my time spent on the project would keep me from the day to day running of my business. Within minutes of my first meeting with Mike, I knew I had made the right decision.

Mike was heavily involved with the critical decision making of the hiring of the design and engineering team, the tender process, and of course the construction of the facility. He kept in touch with me on an almost daily basis, visited the site regularly, kept meticulous records for budget control purposes, and took personal care of the project.

Mike was incredibly helpful to me and my staff. His knowledge and expertise was exactly what I needed to make this project go as smooth as possible.

To summarize, I was able to put most of my time into the successful running of my business during a critical time, while Mike took care of the project."

Avon View High School

"Dear Mr Eakin, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your help in the construction and completion stages of Avon View High School. As a novice in such an undertaking, it was so important to have your support, professionalism and direction in this process. During this whole time it was so important to know you would respond ASAP on every phone call or email. Your honesty and support made me feel we were not just another project you were working on but the most important one."

Philip Van Zoost, Principal, Avon View High School - January 2004

"Mike, we certainly appreciate the effort you and your staff have given to TPW on the school. Your performance has not gone unnoticed. I hope we can have the opportunity to work together again in the future. I would certainly recommend to the Department that they hire your firm again. Thanks again and keep up the good work."
