I have worked in the catering industry for over 25 years and have had several restaurants worldwide. When I arrived in South Africa in 2006, I opened Fork restaurant in Cape Town and I was looking for a carpenter to build some wooden booths. That was the first time I met Philip Goode. Philip made me exactly what I wanted, delivered it on time and after 6 years they are still in great condition.

Then in April 2010, I decided to build from scratch Knife restaurant in an empty 400sq/m site in the Crystal Towers hotel, Century City, Cape Town. It was a huge project to undertake and as I was impressed with Philip, I asked him to be my Project Manager. The cost to build Knife was over R5 million.

Philip worked round the clock to meet all his targets, controlled all the expenses and delivered me exactly what I wanted on time and within budget.

I cannot recommend Philip highly enough. The best compliment I could give to Philip is if I were to build another restaurant, I would only do it if Philip was my Project Manager.

Timber Tech recently carried out a large contract on my home installing 150 square metres of decking for which part of the deck was very technical with a 10 m vertical cliff face.

Philip designed a cantilever sub-structure then brought in specialised scaffolding and carried our work on this section in a very safe and professional manner.

The finished result was of the highest quality.

I highly recommend Philip Goode. Every aspect of the specification was covered without cutting any corners whatsoever. He was meticulous and very knowledgeable in helping on many other situations I faced during a major renovation to my home.

I have retained the professional services of Philip Goode from Timber Tech over a 5 to 7 year period on a number of occassions while I have been reburbishing my main residential property.

He has advised me on what upgrading has been necessary for the doors, window frames and general exterior on my coastal property; he has restored a garden bench; redesigned and rebuilt an exterior wooden staircase; and purpose-built and installed large and complex double doors with side frames and window panels. He also removed old and inadequate windows from the whole second story of the house and installed new hardwood frames to a specific design.

His work has been meticulous and of the highest professional standard throughout.

I can attest that Philip is a highly skilled carpenter with an excellent aesthetic eye, a good manager of his support workers and generally a building professional specialising in a wide range of carpentry whom I would recommend very strongly.

Dr J S W Cross - Hout Bay, Cape Town.

I have contracted Philip Goode on several projects to design and manufacture furniture for my clients.

Regardless of how complicated the requirements and design, he completed the tasks in a professional manner.

He always stuck to the time frame as well as followed the specifications to the smallest detail.

I would highly recommend his skills.

Ania Mulholland - Hout Bay, Cape Town.

We have engaged the services of Timber Tech as a finishing carpenter on three occassions, two of these for a very high quality end product.

Philip applies a high standard of technical knowledge and a conscientious attitude to his work, something we find very lacking in the construction industry today. He has a pleasant nature and always keen to contribute his opinion and experience to the job, especially under difficult conditions and tight time contraints.

We have recommended Philip on several occasions in the past and would not hesitiate to do the same again in the future.

We wish him well in his future endeavours.
