We constantly strive to improve our services to our clients and actively welcome their feedback in order for us to better judge whether their needs are being met. On this page we have included a collection of testimonials from clients for whom we have successfully built and delivered various apartments, villas and houses in and around the areas of Chania and Rethymnon.

Xirosterni (Chania) - Villa completed in 2006.

"In 2003 my husband and I decided to build a house in Crete. We then had the daunting task of finding a reputable company. We were aware of the many horror stories regarding holiday homes.

My husband is a construction engineer and I am a teacher of Art. Needless to say, our standards of both design and construction are extremely high. We are fortunate to be acquainted with the director of a large company who deal with land purchase and building in Europe. On his recommendation, we contacted Action Constructing of Rethymno.

From the very beginning the attitude of Manolis and Soula put at ease. Their employees could not do enough for us. We were given both professional and friendly advice. Nothing was too much trouble. We were told they would do their utmost to construct the house of our dreams.; that has proven to be the case. Hours were spent in conversation in order that we would get the absolute best that our budget could afford.

 Xirosterni (Chania) - Villa completed in 2007.

"Having previously had a house built in Crete, with most of the problems normally associated, it was a pleasure to have our new house in Xerosterni built by Action Construction of Rethymno.

Action have provided a flawless service, from the design stage to the finished product. Communication between the UK and Greece via email was perfect, with photographs of the stages of development being regular and accurate. All budgets were agreed and adhered to without any 'hidden'

extras. The 'finish' on the house has been excellent with a professional eye to detail, and the after service has been every bit as good. The site has been cleaned up and left in very good condition.

I would not hesitate to recommend Action to any others wishing to build a home in Crete, and will use them again if or when I want to build again on the island."

 Loutra (Rethymnon) - Villa completed in 2002.

To Manolis, Action Constructing S.A.

"Dear Manolis,

Sonja and I have now spent six fine years in Loutra in the exellent property , constructed and built by you and your company on a lovely spot, having a 360 degree of wonderfull views from Psiloritis to the blue Mediterenian Sea.

The time has now come for us to go back to Denmark. Looking back on the overall process , we would like to express our utmost respect for the very friendly, constructive and cost-effective way of the handling the building process from the first wild thoughts to the final delivery of the keys for our new wonderfull home.

Your personal and intensive After Sales follow up has been a pleasure for us to participate, as our ideas allways have been the leading issue in every of the very many discusions and agreements we have expierienced together.

As a Chief Marine Engineer my expectations to the technical standards of the house were International High End. During our living here, the Loutra property showed up to follow these standards. The property is today a very fine example of your skilled performances in the fine Art of constructing buildings for good living. And - needless to say - easily sold to a new family looking for high standards.

Last - but not least - Sonja and I, as newcomers to Crete, have had the great pleasure to benefite of your personal guidance of how to cope with all the many other aspects of life on Crete.

You, your staff and the company have our best recommendations for the future."

Kind Regards

Uwe Carstens

 Til Manolis, Action Constructing S.A.

 "kaere Manolis,

Sonja og jeg har nu tilbragt seks udmaerkede ar i Loutra i den fortraeffelige ejendom, konstrueret og bygget af dig og din virksomhed pa et vidunderligt stykke land med 360 gr. udsigt til alt fra snedaekkede Psiloritis til det bla Middelhav.

 Nu er det sa tid for os at vende tilbage til Danmark. Nar vi ser tilbage pa den omfattende byggeproces, onsker vi at udtrykke vor storste respekt for den meget venlige, konstruktive og kost-effektive made du og Action Constructing har handteret denne byggesag pa, fra de forste vilde forslag til den afsluttende overdragelse af noglerne til vor dejlige nye hjem.

Din personlige, intensive After Sales opfolgning har det for os vaeret en fornojelse at deltage i, ikke mindst fordi vore ideer fortrinsvis har vaeret i fokus i alle de mange droftelser og aftaler, vi i tidens lob har indgaet sammen.

Med min baggrund som Chief Marine Engineer har mine forventninger til byggeriets tekniske standard vaere i klasse med International High End. Gennem arene her har vor Loutra-ejendom vist sig at leve op til disse standarder. Ejendommen fremstar i dag som et fint eksempel pa godt byggehandvaerk med optimale livsbetingelser. Og – maske lidt unodvendigt at naevne –solgt til en familie pa udkig efter samme hoje krav.

Til sidst, men ikke mindst, har Sonja og jeg – indtil nu, og som dengang Newcomers til Kreta – haft den store fornojelse at kunne nyde godt af din personlige vejledning i forbindelse med mange andre aspekter ved livsforelsen pa Kreta.

Du, din stab og Action-Constructing far hermed vore bedste anbefalinger!"

Venlig hilsen
