Customer Testimonials

"Maintaining the highest standards of quality in every aspect of what we do is what has earned Christopher Developments the reputation as one of the premier home builders on Vancouver Island. Building a custom home is a team effort and it’s imperative to work with sub-trades that share the same work ethic and values.

South Island Excavating Inc. is a trusted part of that team. Chris’ excavating, trucking and site preparation expertise and abilities is matched by his attention to detail and customer service."

“The Victoria Airport Authority has been working with the South Island Excavating team for over 12 years. Not only do they provide prompt, efficient and professional service for construction projects, excavations, utility/drainage repairs and snow removal, but their advice on these matters has proven to be invaluable on many occasions.

Chris Hall and his team of experts has proven to the airport that the company is dependable and reliable and the bottom line is, they just get the job done right. I would recommend Chris and his team to any land or facility manager that is looking for great advice and workmanship for their projects or maintenance programs.”

"During a recent renovation to our house we used many of the services that South Island Excavating provides to their customers. Trucking services, full and mini sized excavators and most of all the expert advise and knowledge of the owner/operator, Chris Hall.

Chris’s wealth of knowledge, attention to detail and ability to coordinate with other businesses to assist in the processes (Slingers, gravel and soil companies) was a fantastic help to our project. Chris and his employees were always on time, personable and always made sure the job was done right. South Island Excavating did a great job on our project and we strongly recommend their services."

Al Paterson


"We originally found South Island Excavating in the phone book and hired them for a small job on our previous property. We were so impressed with Chris Hall's professionalism, experience and attention to detail that we have called on his business for our current project. His knowledge and insight have made the complete reshaping of our property a more cost effective and efficient endeavour."
