Existing Course Work<br />
A Year In The Life Of <strong>Mackenzie</strong> & <strong>Ebert</strong> Ltd
A record of a year of teamwork between<br />
greenstaff, contractors and architects<br />
The key to success with existing course work involves working as<br />
a team to create work with lasting appeal.<br />
<strong>2011</strong> has involved working with familiar faces and new ones as<br />
well and we would like to thank all those involved for their valued<br />
input, assistance and creativity on the work<br />
with which we have been involved.<br />
This is a record of our combined efforts.<br />
We hope for more of the same in 2012.
