Testimonials

“Working with MAC&CO has been a very great experience in terms of the professional side, and it’s also built a personal relationship between myself and the employees there.

Forming that friendship and relationship definitely goes a long way. I look forward to working on all the future projects with them!”

Jim Bian - Holder East

“What stood out to us during the tender process was the presentation of the submission… We were provided with different look and feels which showcased the unique characters of each suite, this allows us to show this to prospective tenants different options – e.g., casual or corporate – in the future.

We now see 114 William Street as one of our strongest assets in Melbourne.”

Franziska Beck - AFIAA

“I think what sets MAC&CO apart is their problem-solving skills. It was really amazing, because they always anticipated challenges before they became an issue, and I really appreciated that.

It was very smooth, I’m very excited to see the end result, and I’m really looking forward to working with MAC&CO again in the future!”

Hanyong Li - T-A Square

The MAC&CO site team were great, they kept the site really tidy and functional allowing the client to come on site whenever needed. They were also very respectful and considerate working in a live building with tenants, ensuring minimal to no disruption to current tenants, and showed consideration to building management and house rules. And if any noisy works did need to happen there was a clear line of communication for this.
