Academias Hotel – Autograph Collection - Chairman YHE IKE

Due to the construction of our new five stars hotel “Academias Hotel – Autograph Collection” in the center of Athens we collaborated with CORE CONSTRUCTION for the first time, selecting it (initially) on the basis of its offered value and the contacts we had with engineers and executives of the company during which it was found an integrated understanding of the project and the experience of its workforce.

The timely implementation of this project has enabled us to verify our initial impressions of CORE CONSTRUCTION’s lifelong potential, and to discover additional virtues that have proved critical to successful completion. Of great importance was the ability to seamlessly collaborate and coordinate with all the engineers who were assigned to design and supervise the project. The undertaking of the project by CORE CONSTRUCTION, from the first stage of preparation to its final implementation and delivery, was characterized by, methodic and meticulous organization; inventiveness and uninterrupted communication with our company.

Based on the above, we strongly recommend CORE CONSTRUCTION.

Frixos Papadopoulos
OPAP - Construction Projects Officer

CORE CONSTRUCTION has been an important partner of us since 2015, supporting us in developing our branch network, successfully executing projects throughout Greece.
In 2016 we planned the implementation of a difficult technical and coordinating project, which concerned the relocation of the group to new building installations.
CORE CONSTRUCTION has undertaken the complete construction of our offices in a 12,500 sq.m, building, eight underground levels and 10,000 sq.m four basements, with the main characteristic being the start of construction with ongoing design studies. The difficulty of the project lay in the extremely fast and inelastic schedule, which was defined by partial site deliveries and parallel staff relocations. The specificity of the Group’s operation in the building under construction was treated by CORE CONSTRUCTION with professionalism and responsibility, ensuring the safety of employees, the smooth operation of our departments, and the proper construction activity.
The incorporation of an additional neighboring building into the core facilities of the group, as well as a host of other complex issues added to the already burdensome program, have been effectively addressed by company executives, contributing their technical expertise and coordination skills.
The organization and support of CORE CONSTRUCTION throughout the construction, but also to this day, were the catalysts for the successful completion of the project. It proved once again to be a reliable and trusted partner where we would recommend as the best choice in a variety of construction projects.
The stages of building a project are usually laborious and demanding processes. The focus is on quality, production values, best business and corporate practices, and in general a high-profile solution that meets both the requirements and the flexibility and responsiveness of a personalized approach. An approach that, in summary and in this respect, was based on high cooperative demand, in-depth processes and optimum performance. The above describes our experience working with CORE CONSTRUCTION.
The selection of the company was made on the basis of good practices, a thorough and thorough understanding of our requirements and the extensive and multi-level support it offered. The company responded on the basis of a structured program of ideas, suggestions and solutions evaluated at a technical, functional and aesthetic level by highly trained staff and partners demonstrating its market leadership. Our inseparable communication relationship is due to its executives who, with its knowledge base, have helped shape the final solution and its complete oversight.
The main but also the individual manufacturing processes were characterized by precision of time and result of unmatched quality at every stage and high professionalism. Characteristics credited for adhering to fundamental values in the execution of the construction project. Non-personalized reference to all stakeholders would be a clear omission as they contributed substantially and qualitatively to the completion of the project.
In conclusion, it would be a common practice to repeat what we have suggested. What remains of our experience is the utmost confidence and heartfelt gratitude to a company with dominant values in customer-centric philosophy, dialogue, in-depth analysis of suggestions and solutions and excellent service. Our choice justified, met our expectations by convincing us of CORE CONSTRUCTION’s corporate credibility and dynamics.

Shop & Trade SA - Co-Owner & Vice President of Shop & Trade SA

I have been involved with CORE for many years in high demand construction projects and I have worked with many of its executives. In 2017 the renovation of a two-story house with basement in Filothei Attica, 600 sq.m. My comments on the execution of the Project are absolutely positive, both in terms of quality of construction and in terms of execution within the prescribed time limits. CORE’s capabilities and know-how in organization, monitoring and implementation were key factors in the optimal completion of the Project.
Accordingly, I recommend CORE as the most reliable partner, which can guarantee the best result in similar construction projects, without any reservation about the value added of its services.

Charalambos Poulios
M&S - Technical Services Manager

The technical department of MARKS & SPENCER has long collaborated with CORE CONSTRUCTION executives, having assigned the company a series of projects to build new chain stores or renovate existing outlets. Her most recent assignment was the MARKS & SPENCER Store Design and Development at the Athens Mall, which was successfully completed in March 2013.
Our view of all CORE CONSTRUCTION partners is particularly positive, as their effectiveness has been tested in recent years on projects with specific technical requirements and limited implementation time.
It is also worth noting both the meticulous adherence to each contractual agreement and the effective communication we maintain throughout the execution of each project.
Based on the above, we strongly recommend CORE CONSTRUCTION for the quality of both the projects it delivers and the way it is executed.

Theodore Roxanis
ORCHESTRA - CEO ORCHESTRA HELLAS

CORE CONSTRUCTION took over the design of the “ORCHESTRA” store in the Smart Park mall in March 2013. As the owner of the store I was completely satisfied with the work and the result I received. The frameworks set out in the project timetable were adhered to without exceeding. Communication with the project supervising engineers was day-to-day and complete, and there was good contact with scholars abroad and mall managers. During the works the space was organized and clean and special attention was paid to the observance of security measures. The budget of the project was detailed and met the requirements and specifications of the shops, without any overruns at the completion of the work. Our cooperation with CORE CONSTRUCTION has been very good and may continue in the future.

Konstantinos Paschalidis
PAUL - Administrator

Due to the construction of our new PAUL catering company in Glyfada we worked with CORE CONSTRUCTION for the first time, selecting it (initially) on the basis of its offered value and the contacts we had with engineers and executives of the company during which it was found an integrated understanding of the project and the experience of its workforce.
The timely and timely implementation of this project has enabled us to verify our initial impressions of CORE CONSTRUCTION’s lifelong potential, and to discover additional virtues that have proved critical to successful completion. Of great importance was the ability to seamlessly collaborate and coordinate with all the scholars who were assigned to study and supervise the project. The undertaking of the project by CORE CONSTRUCTION, from the first stage of preparation to its final implementation and delivery, was characterized by perfect organization, methodically, inventiveness and uninterrupted substantive information and communication with our company.
Based on the above, we strongly recommend CORE CONSTRUCTION to have the best possible view of the whole subject of our cooperation.

Ioanna Constantinidou
REPLAN - Administrator

In this letter we would like to assure our excellent cooperation with CORE CONSTRUCTION, which was achieved through the construction of our new unit in Neochorouda Industrial Zone, dedicated to metal recycling.
Through our almost daily communication with engineers and company executives we have found their in-depth experience as well as their willingness to achieve the best possible results. Their assistance in coordinating the studies and collaborating with the other project participants ultimately led to the receipt of a fully functional building adapted to the needs of our company, which complies with all the specifications of modern construction methods and applicable legislation.
The time of completion of the project and its quality characteristics justified our expectations, while meeting the financial commitments originally described.
Therefore, we strongly recommend the company CORE CONSTRUCTION having proven in practice the capabilities of its executives for the perfect and quality implementation of the project, from the design phase to the launch.

Konstantinos Primoudis
EDWARD - President and CEO

As part of the development / refurbishment of our company’s branch network, we have been fortunate to work with CORE CONSTRUCTION and its valued partners to build a new EDWARD store in MEDITERRANEAN COSMOS Shopping Center.
Experience of those of EDWARD SA executives working with executives or engineers of CORE CONSTRUCTION was very positive, from the first to the last day of project implementation. Both the meticulous adherence to the contractual elements of the project and the qualitative execution of all the work required within the very limited timeframe set were exemplary.
Therefore, we strongly recommend CORE CONSTRUCTION as a model construction company that has been substantially differentiated in terms of the quality of its services and the security it inspires to its contractors.

Andrianos Reppas
ELEKTRONIKI ATHINON - Head of Network Development

We have been working with the founding members of CORE CONSTRUCTION since 2012, crystallizing a particularly positive image of the overall quality of our collaboration and the integrity of the end result.
In 2013 we again worked with them to complete work at the Peristeri headquarters on 2, Ethn. Makariou Str., again getting the same positive opinion.
We consider the CORE CONSTRUCTION team to be highly valued, as they have proven their professionalism and high level of training in complex building projects. Therefore, we recommend CORE CONSTRUCTION as a reliable option for finishing hot and cold shell operations.

My knowledge of CORE CONSTRUCTION goes back many years, is divided into two periods and is characterized by two different relationships. One corporate, the latest, and the other personal, older but just as important, which still holds true. This second one has been going on since working with various offices or companies involved in manufacturing, I had the opportunity and the chance to work with some of the people who currently work for CORE CONSTRUCTION. And I must admit from the outset, recalling in my memory for the sake of this letter this past season I can remember that many of them even then stood out with the positive characteristics that distinguish the company in which they now work. This is important because it will say that CORE CONSTRUCTION is not just a partnership, but an organization composed of engineers and technical staff who share common characteristics and goals in a conversational taste. This passion, a key component of CORE CONSTRUCTION’s corporate identity, may be the only antidote to the otherwise poisoned by the rigidity of the financial mathematics that is plaguing us today and, hence manufacturing activity.
Of course, in both cases, whether personal or corporate, my relationship has been and is that of the Scholar with those who are studying the content of his designs, and here the word love is just a millennial word and becomes substance. Because of all the goodness of this organization, the know-how, the hard work, the consistency, the ability to cover any scale project wherever it is, one thing stands out: the people of CORE CONSTRUCTION know how to read designs! One would say, “And what about engineers and technical staff, how can they not read drawings?” That’s true, but what I’m referring to is something other than just reading and obeying the lines and numbers on the paper. On the one hand, the experience of reading behind the drawings and understanding the intention of the designer is particularly useful as it guides all decisions large or small during construction. On the other hand, and no less important, is the ability to understand the client’s distress that they see as an essential component of project construction.
For this ability of CORE CONSTRUCTION, to take care of the spirit of the Study and the agony of the Client without altering one another, I highly recommend it without hesitation but confident of its ability to transform construction into creation.

- Architect. A.A Dipl (Hons) RIVA, Hons Grad Dipl. A.A. Associate Professor, Department of Architectural Engineering. University of Patras

I have known many of the CORE Construction executives for many years in our highly successful collaboration on projects with high construction requirements.
At this time, our cooperation is focused on the construction of a house in Hydra with the restoration of an existing part of it. The project presents several peculiarities and challenges, not only in terms of understanding the design and sensitivity to its implementation, but also to the objective difficulties encountered during construction in protected traditional settlements such as Hydra. The company has met, and continues to respond to, these challenges with great success.
As for the execution of the project, my comments are absolutely positive. The quality of construction work often goes beyond the formal obligations of the contract and my expectations of quality, which is not negotiable for me. I must emphasize that there is a harmonious collaboration with the engineers and executives of the company, which is characterized by a high quality of service always within the prescribed time limits.
During our partnership, CORE Construction has shown excellent professionalism in dealing with the work it undertakes with knowledge and responsibility. Continuous updating of the construction process and excellent communication with the designer and client, proper project planning, support in electromechanical and static issues as well as planning licenses make the company highly reliable and I recommend it without any reservations.

George Souranakis
SHOP & TRADE - Founder & Vice Chairman of the Board

We have been working with CORE CONSTRUCTION’s key contributors since 2011 having completed projects throughout Greece.
Having already tested the capabilities of its executives, even in difficult projects, and have verified – at the same time – the ability to collaborate seamlessly with a number of specialist consultants and researchers who have worked with us to study and supervise their specialty work, we now consider CORE CONSTRUCTION as a key partner of our company in the areas of network development, hot-box work, and building infrastructure maintenance.
As a result, we provide our absolutely positive recommendation to the CORE CONSTRUCTION team without any reservation about the added value of its services.
Yours sincerely,
For SHOP & TRADE S.A.

SOFIA SOUTH RING MALL - CEO

With my capacity as CEO of Sofia South Ring Mall EOD, I am happy to provide a general letter of recommendation for CORE CONSTRUCTION SA.

Vasilis Antoniadis
THE BOSTON CONSULTING GROUP - Managing Director

The first time we worked with CORE CONSTRUCTION Company was during the period of January to March 2015, when we fully renovated our company premises.
We believe that this project had specific technical challenges as the offices are entirely housed within a neoclassical listed building, dated since 1915, in one of the main streets of the city. Furthermore, the design was characterized by the innovative solutions, the diligence in the space’s acoustics and in the functional lighting.
Throughout the duration of the project and the issues that emerged in practice, we gained a complete picture of the technical and managerial skills of the engineers who undertook the renovation of our premises, fully respecting the contractual framework, which was mutually agreed. The work was performed with the required sensitivity within the shell of the listed building. The electromechanical infrastructure was reinforced and upgraded, considering the functional autonomy of the offices in the historical value of the space. The management of special architectural and insulation materials respected the protected surfaces and highlighted their decorative elements.
The team of engineers proved in practice their professionalism and vocational training in this particular building project, working impeccably with a complex design team. The time schedule was clear and notified to all persons involved, coordinating the selection of materials and the decision-making on critical issues, within the given timeframes.
Therefore, we highly recommend CORE CONSTRUCTION, given their devotion in fulfilling the specific needs of the project.

ATTICA DEPARTMENT STORES - CEO

I hereby would like to certify, as the Managing Director of ATTICA DEPARTMENT STORES SA, the excellent cooperation of our company with CORE CONSTRUCTION SA, during the implementation of our new superstore in Thessaloniki.
The construction of «Attica» department store situated in Tsimiski road, begun in May 2014 and was successfully completed within 5 months’ period, opening its gates to the consumers in October 2014, fulfilling precisely the initial financial and time scheduled plan of our company. Its construction was entrusted entirely to CORE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, as a turnkey project. The company undertook the complete renovation of the existing building into a department store, capable of hosting a huge range of famous brands.
During the whole project’s implementation, all related parties cooperated smoothly and productively in order to achieve a common goal. Designers, project managers, commercial representatives of our company, as well as economic operators maintained an extremely professional level of collaboration with the construction company, stemming with success everyone’s efforts in the long run.
At the same time, the involvement of CORE with public authorities and compliance with all safety rules and legitimacy within the constructing site, have ensured an unencumbered and creative working environment for all employees, during construction.
The priorities we set as a company were fully understood by the engineers in charge of the project, who made every possible effort to achieve impeccable results. Furthermore, the necessary flexibility and adaptability, during construction, were maintained for the
constantly altering needs of the project, in order to integrate into temporal and financial contexts, any unforeseen changes and factors.
The whole project’s particularities with respect to its size, the reinforcement requirements of the existing structural framework, the reuse of functional mechanical equipment, the construction of pilot departments, the implementation of corner stores to the general design consistency and a whole range of various issues, were handled successfully and integrated to the overall project management plan by the Contractor.
Last but not least, I would like to outline the constant updating of all my company’s managers by the engineers, regarding the project issues on a regular basis, and the communication which was maintained accurate and immediate at all levels, facilitating the procedures and simplifying actions, with the view to resolving all matters in question.
To summarize the above-mentioned, I would like to declare my satisfaction from the first collaboration of ATTICA AE with CORE CONSTRUCTION SA, and I am therefore looking forward to a future continuance based on the foundations established during the implementation of our store in Thessaloniki.

SUPERDRY - Business Manager DM Interieur. DM Interieur

We are the interior architects who are responsible for all the Superdry shops in Europe. For those we work with architects and building companies all over Europe.
We had the great pleasure for the shop of Superdry in the Mall of Athens to work with the people of CORE construction It was a really easy cooperation with them, since they gave us clear feedback, asked a lot of questions, which means that they really examined all the details of the project.
Superdry shops are not like most shops, because of the exceptional material use, the unusual steel profiles that we use in the shop. There is a lot of work that should be done on site, since almost everything is custom made.
I have really loved working with CORE construction, since they really wanted to make a great shop in the Superdry spirit, which they achieved really well.
We are looking forward on working with them again on future projects.
