"WOW!!! Thank you Jacques and team for a wonderful product at Koelenhof Winery, Stellenbosch! It is a great KOELtainer wine shop that compliments our new playpark and we appreciate your good service and great product. Well done!"
"Highly recommended! Excellent service and quality product. A big thank you to Jacques and Ruan who were available for all my questions, were both on site, and assisted us throughout the entire process"
"Containatech have been involved in several projects since I’ve joined Breadline Africa and their service has been nothing short of fantastic. Their timeliness, workmanship, and quality of a very high standard. Due to the nature of our work, our projects never have straightforward deliveries. Yet, Jacques and his team are always prepared to tackle any challenges head on and ensure the job gets done in the best way possible."
"I would highly recommend using Containatech. Professional and speedy service. Great quality of product and fantastic staff. Even processing of the container at the yard was a pleasant experience."
"I came across Containatech in 2019 when we required office space at our Paarl Depot. We had 2 containers and was looking to convert them into an office space we can work from daily. I had a vision and Jacques and his team, with their experience made it happen. The conversion, installation and after sales service was a great experience. They are professional in all aspects of their workmanship and service. They have since also converted some of our rental units and we look forward to a long standing relationship for future projects. I refer clients on a regular basis, Containatech has a vision for the future of their company and we wish them well. Highly recommend them for container conversion project"
"“So impressed by the end product of our container ablution block! Was worried at first what the end product would look like due to low cost, however, the whole structure is sturdy and has such high quality finished, from window frames, to high end shower fixtures and quality toilets. The team were in contact with me constantly and I will definitely not only recommend them to anyone who asks, but also use them again in the future.”"
