 A win built on a long-standing relationship

Marine Roofing has worked with Elemex before and has a history of leveraging the Elemex 360 advantage. That long-standing relationship was the basis of trust for this win.

Peter Hockey, Preconstruction Manager, played an integral role, bringing creativity and cost control to help Marine Roofing get the right number to win the project.
