Over the years, Eversdal Primary School has required numerous sports projects to be done. From various landscape grass play areas to synthetic long jump pits, re-surfacing cricket nets, synthetic multi-sport courts, and even a synthetic rugby/hockey field.
Who have they trusted to do all these projects? Synsport has always been their preferred choice. We wanted to find out why, so chatted with their Deputy Head, Gys Burger. Here’s what he had to say.
Q1: Over the years, what services has Synsport provided to your school?
A: They installed:
- A synthetic grass playing area in front of the school for learners to play during break (about 471 squares);
- A synthetics grass playing area in front of our school hall (about 280 squares). This was very aesthetically done;
- A synthetic grass playing area for our juniors (about 753 squares);
- A multipurpose sport surface in our quad for hockey, tennis and netball (about 650 squares);
- Indoor cricket nets (2) in our quad (about 128 squares);
- Cricket run ups (5) at our cricket nets (about 182 squares);
- Long jump run ups (2) on our field (about 52 squares);
- Synthetic grass playing between our field and school (about 751 squares);
- Synthetic grass playing for our Gr. 7 quad (about 154 squares);
- A multipurpose sport field for hockey and rugby (about 3627 squares).
Q2: Why do you routinely use Synsport to execute different works at your school?
A: The quality of their work. Their professional service. The value for money.
Q3: What makes Synsport unique in their approach and execution versus other contractors?
A: Excellent communication through a professional relationship and their willingness to give-or-take in order to achieve an excellent result.
Q4: What lifespans have you achieved with the various surface types installed by Synsport?
A: The projects were done at different times, but our first project with them was in 2016 and the surface (that is being used every day), is still in good condition.
Q5: What has the after-service been like from Synsport?
A: They are just one phone call away. They are easily reached and their willingness to assist is evident. They quickly take action and we do not have to follow up. Their service is outstanding.
Q6: What should schools be wary of when buying on price only?
A: Schools can make many wrong decisions that will cost them a lot of money in the future if they compromise on civil works, quality of material, maintenance and professional service. Synsport is an established business and provides knowledgeable expertise and honest consultation throughout various stages of the project.
Q7: If you could use one word to describe your experience working with Synsport over the years what would it be?
A: Professional.
