SHD and Barra were referred to me by a friend who is in the building game. I cannot recommend this company enough. From our first contact, Barra was very helpful and informative. We are pretty clueless when it comes to these things so having Barra to "dumb" everything down for us and keep us in the loop made the process so much better and out us at ease.<br><br>When Barra met us at our house, there was no rush. We explained what our plans were and Barra advised us about the potentials and obstacles we might face and what we could to.<br><br>I will be actively referring SHD to anyone I know who will be in need of their service going forward.
Very professional, well managed engineering service. Impressed with both the quality and value for money provided by SHD. Highly recommend
We retained SHD to carry out a pre-purchase survey of our intended new home. Very professional service. Grateful for the quick turnaround and practical advice.
A great experience from start to finish. The guys clearly know their stuff and made everything a breeze for us.<br>I would highly reccomend!
I retained SHD to complete a structural review and certification of a recently completed attic conversion. Staff were available at short notice to attend site and completed a plan for additional strengthening in less than week. Once the works were in progress SHD attended site to review the works and a certificate of compliance was issued again in a timely fashion. Throughout the process staff were available and kept me updated on progress All interactions were positive and dealt with in a professional manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending SHD.
It was very easy dealing with them, very professional, looking forward to working with them again!
A pleasure to deal with and truly professional - SHG were proactive in arranging a pre purchase survey for us as quick as possible. They liaised with the agent directly and kept us updated at all times. Very knowledgable, would gladly recommend their services.
We had already begun an attic conversion and required an engineer urgently to review the process and ensure that all was structurally sound and to issue a cert at the end. Barra worked closely with our builder and guided him and us through to a successful conclusion. SHD were very responsive, diligent and gave us a great sense of comfort that our investment in the attic was secure. I have found SHD to be very courteous and professional and would recommend them without hesitation.
The guys at SHD were really helpful for our extension and refurb. They explained the whole engineering and architectural process and managed everything throughout the build - I would highly recommend.
