``I have worked with FDL on my last two projects with the most relevant being the demolition of Lincoln House and 123 Deansgate to allow the development of a new £50m commercial development. We found FDL to be commercially aware without being aggressive and easy to work with contractually. I might add that on the back of Deansgate FDL also demolished a very sizable office block to the rear of our building for Marshall CDP, Brazennose House, which was also a complex building as it was a mix of precast and insitu concrete and not in the best of condition! They have just finished working with me on a £25m refurbishment project in central Liverpool which is a Grade II listed hotel development. While a very different beast it is no less complex in different ways``Deansgate

I was the Contract Administrator for the works and I found them to be impeccable in all aspects of the work. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they always wanted to please. Their organisation skills are second to none, that is why I have used them on numerous occasions. They are my first port of call when anybody within Preston City Council mentions demolition.``Preston City Council
