Mario mentioned how the company had started off in the eighties by conduct­ing small alterations, mainly due to the fact that his father was simultaneously honing his carpentry craftsmanship skills. Mario thus learnt the innards of the construction business thanks to his father and this too is how the company managed to attain its high self-sufficiency levels.

Vellson Turnkey Projects is highly specialised in all facets of turnkey contracting, and offers its services in-house. “It is vital to have control over the work done, and to monitor and fine-tune the quality of every job,” Mario explained. Vella mentioned the fact that the company is mostly well known for its quality and value for mon­ey and the consistency on the job. “We start a project and finish it. This mantra only pauses if and when the project we would be working on encounters prob­lems or delays caused by third party players or issues. We do our utmost to service each and every client and adapt to their needs. And we always strive to make sure that we meet all our job deadlines,” he proudly said. He also spoke about the fact that in certain projects, the company might not be assigned to do all of the work and therefore they would need to wait for oth­er tradesmen or companies to finish their work before they could start theirs. “Even in such cases, we make ourselves available to be of the maximum service pos­sible according to the client’s needs,” he added

Mario also mentioned the fact that he enjoys meeting with his clients to advise, and then thus together decide upon the best solution to fit a particular issue a project would be facing. “Our work must be as perfectly executed as possible. I also like to discuss the type of material to be used when it is important to do so; to be utterly convinced that the client is set to be thrilled with the end product,” he emphasised. The company can source the material it­self, but Vellson Turnkey Projects can also work with the ma­terial sourced by the client.

He said that through experience, he managed to achieve insight on most of the problems one may encounter whilst on the job. As an off-the cuff example, he men­tioned a case where Vellson Turnkey Projects helped a client keep under the legal minimum height requirement of 2.6 metres in an apartment block, simply by presenting a bulkhead-based solution which circumvented the issue. “And the client was well pleased with the look and feel of the finished development.”

He also spoke about the company’s employees which are not outsourced. They include himself, who is running the business, together with his father, his brother and two key employees. Now that his children have become well of age and have both proven themselves to be highly competent, professional, and efficient problem-solvers time after time, the father has taken on more of a mentoring role, particularly so during office internal brainstorming sessions whilst the company devises solutions to complex issues which the larger developments are often imbibed with.

“It is vital for our company that our suppliers are capable of helping us in our prime mission of linking quality with value for money”

The family is thus also assisted on the front line by their hardworking employees. Vella highlighted the fact that “it’s very hard to find hard working people willing to do this type of work at our required levels of workman­ship.” The company employs competent people of all nationalities who are willing and able to share the val­ues and commitment of the Vella family; the backbone of Vellson Turnkey Projects.

Speaking about the materials of choice for Vellson, Mario explained that they have over the years under­stood both which products and brands are the most consistent in their quality renderings, and which sup­pliers are reliable and modest in their pricing struc­tures. “It is vital for our company that our suppliers are capable of helping us in our prime mission of linking quality with value for money,” he passionately told us. And this quality element of theirs branches out from the level of work and workmanship but also heavily in­volves operational efficiency.

Vellson Turnkey Projects follows a customer-centric ap­proach. “Our clients are of the utmost importance to us; we place them at the heart of our business and plan all our operations accordingly,” Mario stressed. The com­pany follows a stringent process wherein their plastering experts ensure that every project is executed profession­ally and with high finishing.

Plastering works are intricate tasks, and demand a lot of patience, perseverance, and fine detailing. “We deliver quality workmanship at the most competitive prices. Our staff use the right combination of expertise, at­tention to detail, and quality of materials so as to pro­vide the very best plastering projects in Malta,” Mario proudly declared. “And no matter how big, small, sim­ple, or complex a project may be, we will always strive to complete the project within our given time frame.

“Our staff use the right combination of expertise, attention to detail, and quality of materials so as to provide the very best plastering projects in Malta”

About their plastering technique, Vella mentioned the fact that much of this depends on the type of walls, and the quality of their laying. “Unlevelled walls require particular plastering materials and techniques, especial­ly seeing as how every square inch is precious and irre­placeable here in Malta,” Vella explained. “This obvi­ously means more work for the company and more costs and time, but it’s important that the finished product looks as perfect as possible.”

The company also co-ordinates with architects on cer­tain projects and together they come up with suggestions and plans on how to make the finished product look top-notch. “Architects suggest our company to clients, be­cause they know that we offer peace of mind – quality finishing and value for money,” he added.

Finally, Mario also mentioned the fact that the company is the ideal solution for commercial properties and devel­opers, with their value proposition being the attention to detail, quality and that of respecting the clients
