    Posted 09 February

    Excellent service from start to finish. The team carried out the work on my property with great attention to detail and professionalism. They were easy to deal with, transparent about costs and timelines and delivered high-quality work. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them so do check them out! Genuinely lovely people to get along with too and had no issues at all!

    Professional, prompt and go above and beyond

    Posted 03 February

    Roshan and Jesan were very good and very helpful. They were also very prompt and responsive. The technical drawings were professional and produced on a timely basis. They liaised with the council to direct me in the right direction as my property is located in a conservation area, a leasehold and the council is also the freeholder. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

    So far so good

    Posted 26 July 2025

    Currently working with Jesan, they have done the preliminary structural drawings and will be submitting the building controls paperwork soon. They will also look after the party wall agreement and communication with building regs....early days but happy so far.

    Structural Survey

    Posted 24 June 2025

    I recently had a structural survey carried out and was extremely impressed with the entire experience. The surveyor was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the process. They took the time to explain everything clearly and were very accommodating to my questions and concerns. The quality of the survey was fantastic—thorough, detailed, and professionally presented. I felt reassured by their expertise and would not hesitate to use their services again. Highly recommended!

    Extension & Renovation

    Posted 16 March 2025

    I reached out to DVC Engineering to see if they could carry out the task above. Prompt responses from them and I booked in for site visit. The engineer arrived on time and I talked him through what I wanted. He was very patient and extremely attentive and very knowledgeable. He explained what to get an approval from Building Control, and even showed illustrations. Fast forward, he produced the structural drawings and calculations. Professionally, meticulously & impeccably done. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs structural drawings & calculations or even advice in that regard.
