ECO-PRO PROGRAMME & BENEFITS

 

What is an ECO-PRO contractor?

An ECO-PRO contractor is a professional individual or company committed to building quality decks, fencing, docks, boardwalks and/or landscaping amenities using the OUTDURE range of products. An ECO-PRO adds value to their business by representing OUTDURE as the customer’s best option for decking and fencing. We require our ECO-PRO contractors to adhere to our installation requirements and program guidelines, this ensures your customers are very happy and generate more referral business for you and ensures our warranty is valid for them.

 

ECO-PRO Testimonial for Cobb Construction:

"Just a short note to express our appreciation for the great work your team carried out during the installation of our deck on the ground floor of our house. You arrived as arranged on time for the initial inspection, your quote was very competitive, your team started the project as agreed, and upon completion the garden was left clean and tidy. The finished deck exceeds my expectations and the quality of work seemed excellent. We are extremely satisfied and will be happy to recommend your work to any potential clients." – Gerry and Gwen Stege, Orakei, Auckland

 

ECO-PRO Testimonial for Cobb Construction:
"A much overdue thank you from us to you both for the wonderful work you provided on our property.  Even in our wildest dreams we never anticipated such a wonderful deck.  Your work ethic from both of you was beyond redemption. Our initial brief to you was to build a deck and we had a very rough idea of how big we wanted it.  We were by no means experts and so basically “handed” the project over to you, from design stage to completion.  I do not forget easily the very first day you turned up in the pouring rain and put in a near full day’s work in torrential rain, huddling under a tree for shelter occasionally!  That really set the tone for your commitment to the job as we watched you work in the oppressive summer Auckland heat and humidity too. The deck you created for us is a masterpiece. The ECO-DECKING product is a product that is relatively new to the market and one we were a little nervous about using. We needn’t have been!!  You guys knew your product well, all the little twists and turns that were unique to using a composite product in New Zealand conditions, and you produced a professional and immaculate finished product. Your openness to our “changing mind” as we added to the original brief along the way, with a windbreak and box seating, was much appreciated. Nothing was ever too much trouble and you handled every question and query from us with a smile on your face.  We really enjoyed having you around and would happily recommend you, without hesitation, to anybody and everybody who will listen!!" – Kaye Sinclair and Rob Waardenberg, Albany. March 2010
