Feedback
Promptness of response : Only company to reply to my requirements and Ali was very efficient and understanding of my needs
Quality of service : The report issued was submitted to Building Control quickly as I had all the relevant information sent be e mail
Value for money : Having not had to engage these types of services for several years I was surprised at the costs but know that as I needed this I had to pay the going rate
Professionalism : Very good and maintained this at all times
Structural Calculations, Northampton - C Landeman - March 2022Promptness of response : Responded immediately to my request, very impressed and agreed to visit the next day. Maybe quiet before Christmas but that was good news. They attended and amazingly did the drawings the same day and emailed them back to me. In less than 24 hours I had my survey submitted for building regs.
Quality of service : Excellent work too.
Value for money : Decent fixed price, less than I expected. I paid for 2 drawings and a visit charge. I think I only needed 1 drawing in the end but given the speed of response I didn't complain or query.
Professionalism : Yes

Structural Inspection. Yvonne W, Nuneaton, April 2020.Structural Inspection, Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, A George - June 2018
Promptness of response : I did not use anybody of this site as we used someone local to us in the end. But I was very impressed with the quick responses and was given the prices straight away without having to ask which is nice as it's not often people want to price the work until they think you are interested. Great service
Structural Inspection, Northampton - Ms Mclaughlin, Feb 2018Your site quoted a price which was less than half what we had to pay and the supplier said they had told you the prices on your web site were wrongStructural Inspection, Two Mile Ash, Geoff - November 2017

Structural Inspection, Buckingham, Tim - September 2017Structural Calculations, Harlington, Bedfordshire, Mr Burgess - March 2017
Value for money : The key issue is the very significant discrepancy between the price you quote and the price the company quotes. The company's view was that the prices you quote have not been agreed with them and are unrealistically low. OK, but this leaves people like me in an impossible position.
Professionalism : Good clear advice and report.
