There are sound reasons for the widespread acceptance that has been accorded "Dodwell Installations" by Among Architects, Engineers and Building Owners. these reasons the following are noteworthy :-

1. On definite specifications our prices are competitive.

2. We do not sublet work or pay our staff piece-work rates. The danger of 'scamped work is therefore eliminated.

3. All jobs are supervised by European Craftsmen.

4. In the absence of a specification, all systems are designed with a view to giving trouble free service and low upkeep cost.

5. We do not undersize a job, with the view of submit-

ting the lowest tender.
