WE CHERISH OUR CUSTOMERS

Rayneau’s CIE Praised for Quality Workmanship

Hon Phillip J Pierre

The Minister for Infrastructure, Port Services and Transport said, “It is evident that the bridge was built with impeccable workmanship and assets.”

 Speaking at the opening ceremony of the Bois D’Orange Bridge on Tuesday December 5, 2014, Minister of Infrastructure, Port Services and Transport, Hon Phillip J Pierre remarked, “The Bois D’Orange is a world class structure built and in keeping with the most modern technical standards and material inputs. The bridge has stood up to the intense scrutiny of vastly technical minds in St. Lucia, The World Bank and the United States Army Corps of Engineers.”

“The execution of such a complex project within budget is deserving of praise. I congratulate the local contractor and his staff, a St. Lucian staff, and the Consultant led by Gilbert Fontenard on a job well done.” Hon Pierre said.

“While there were doubts, even at the level of the World Bank, on whether St Lucian contractors were able to execute such a project, particularly with a pile foundation, St Lucians have proven they can work and form the strategic alliances and execute projects within cost and within budget at the highest national standards.”

View of Bridge

The Prime Minister, The Rt Hon. Dr Kenny D Anthony is his address also gave credence to the quality of work achieved in the construction of the bridge, “We have too many doubting Thomases in this country. You must have the confidence in the ability of our people to do things. This bridge belongs to us. It was designed by St Lucians, constructed a St Lucian firm, and it matches the quality of a bridge anywhere in the world today.” He said. “You must have confidence in your people…….they can be just as good as anybody anywhere in the world…….and that’s really what we’re all about.”

Representing Rayneau Construction & Industrial Equipment Ltd at the ceremony were Mr

Mr Anselm Clauzel with contingent

Anselm Clauzel, Business Development Executive, Pawan Joshie, Project Manager, the Managing Director’s children Savvy Plummer, Mokesh and Paresh Gajadhar. Mr Clauzel was very proud and satisfied with the Company’s achievements and he reiterated that it’s a policy CIE to deliver high quality work within budget, and most of all, on time.

In the last three years, Hon Phillip J Pierre said his Government has built sixteen bridges. Extensive work has been done on the Barre de L’Isle, with reconstruction nearing completion in coming weeks. In addition,  he said, over a dozen roads have been completed, paved and rehabilitated across the length and breadth of the island.

The Minister reiterated that the completion of this bridge is an accomplishment which St Lucians are to celebrate with pride and dignity.

Rayneau's Christmas Heart Overflows!

George Matthew Adams in the “The Christmas Heart” said, “Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart, a wide open heart that thinks of others first. The birth of the baby Jesus stands as the most significant event in all history, because it has meant the pouring into a sick world the healing medicine of love which has transformed all manner of hearts for almost two thousand years... Underneath all the bulging bundles is this beating Christmas heart.”

A view of the newly paved side walk

 Rayneau has a big heart for giving which is unmatched by any in his field. His recent contributions to the Calypso Arena, both senior and junior, the Gen-X program, the renovation of the Police Immigration Department, and contributions to the St Lucia Youth Business Trust, are worthy to be noted to bring out this big heart this young entrepreneur possesses.

One will recall back in February 2012, construction work on a piece of land next to the Faith Baptist Church in Corinth generated heated discourse amongst some residents who had taken the company responsible for the works, Construction and Industrial Equipment Limited (CIE) to task. Today, RCIP stands on this piece of land and through its parent company is giving back to the residents.

A resident stay clear of traffic

Now, Rayneau is giving back to the community. The Corinth road is well known for its busy traffic and limited sidewalk space for pedestrians. A sidewalk of modern finesse has been constructed on a section of that road where is has been deemed very unsafe for the pedestrians. The sidewalk varies in width at various points due to the contour of the road and is about 150m in length. Though one may argue that this classy sidewalk  constructed with pavers of different colours  and manufactured by CIE, maybe for the staff of CIE and RCIP, they must not forget the dangers of not having a sidewalk in this crucial section of the road for the residents' usage.

Another section of the paved sidewalk

Speaking with a resident who seems very impressed with the sidewalk and its purpose for bringing a measure of safety to the community, had this to say. “I think it is a great idea, not only for the workers of RCIP who have to go to CIE daily, but also for the general public. Persons are walking here daily…….they are walking on the road……but now you are not only taking care of the security of your staff, but also the public in general. And what he {Rayneau} has done, as a good corporate citizen, is that he is giving back to the community in which he is doing business.”

There can be no doubt that this project is being cherished by all the citizens of Corinth.

Pavers used on sidewalk

Finally residents who are impressed with the design and colour of the pavers can contact any sales agent at our store for more info. Our experts will be more than happy to assist in the construction of your project if you happen to need any assistance. Give your patio, walk-way or yard a face lift.

MERRY XMAS FROM RCIP!

Its very easy to start and easy to operate. The best thing is its so quiet and fuel efficient. The oil use is non existant being a 4 stroke.

Give a Gift For Christmas From Rayneau

Gift giving is a two-way street, in that giver and receiver experience the shared 

enjoyment of the exchange.

 

For me, gift giving supplies me with an armload of self-gratification. Gift giving is just 

one of the many ways you can show a person how you feel. Not just love but gratitude 

and appreciation as well. I use it as a way to let someone know that I am thinking about

 them. The smallest, out of the ordinary, unexpected gift, if presented with a smile, will

 yield the biggest reactions

Gift giving is both a benefit and a help.

 To give is the same with sharing. And to 

share is a relaxing act. Not only does it 

make a bond grow deeper, but it also 

gives a person the feeling of being kind   

and happy. Because for most people, to 

see someone happy

 multiplies their joy. The joy brings the feeling of goodness to the giver.

Giving gifts is always a problem. If you love someone, you want to make sure you give 

them something they really want. Ideally, you want to see that look of joyous surprise 

when they open the gift and even before they say a word, you know it was perfect.

But that doesn't always work.

It’s sad, really. You work so hard to find just the right gift, and then it doesn't fit …or it isn't the right colour … or it was broken in the box … or they already had one … or the design doesn't match what they already have … worst of all, it wasn't what they really wanted.

 

GIFT WRAPPED

That’s the worst—to give someone a gift they don’t really want. Nothing makes you feel 

worse. They unwrap the gift and then there is a short pause—just a microsecond—but in that moment you already know the truth. “Why, it’s beautiful,” they say. But you can see the look in their eyes. You put on a brave front and try again. “Do you really like it?” “Like it? I love it.” But you aren't fooled. It’s not what they  wanted. And drop by drop all the joy drains out of Christmas.

Then it came to my mind this week as I thought about the question—if I were going to give someone a gift for Christmas, what would I give him/her that he/she would appreciate? The holidays are upon us, which means it's time to get cracking and find some great sentimental gifts for our valued friends and acquaintances.

You know that well decorated food hamper? Or that old aged bottle of whiskey? If you 

want to be the one who avoid sending those cliched goodies, look no further. We at 

Rayneau have some better ideas for you this year.

Visit our next post to see an array of gifts which our gift experts have specially selected 

from our various departments for you to choose from. 

AT RAYNEAU WE'VE GOT IT!

NO BANKS,NO CREDIT UNIONS,NO LOANS SHARK, 0% FINANCING!

With the upcoming season, the government has put together a stimulus package where contractors are offered small contracts. The sum of $2.5m has been allotted for works to be carried out throughout the length and breadth of St Lucia. The works will include drainage, road works, pot holing, basic bridge maintenance, re-digging of drains, reducing verges and the like

Recently a contractor visited a lending institution to get financing for a project. The contractor presented his contract papers to satisfy the institution that he indeed had the contract. He was asked for collateral; he had to be going up and down to the Ministry and Treasury to get his assignment papers endorsed. On top of all this, he was required to pay 10-13% interest. Going through all this delayed the commencement of his project by one

week. A real hassle!

 Rayneau Construction & Industrial Products makes it hassle free for you to access the cash that you need  to manage your project.

You will need to visit the store at Corinth in Gros Islet with your project documentation in hand and a valid picture ID to discuss your unique requirements.
