CLIENT FEEDBACK & REVIEWS
" Vass Structural Engineering were very efficient, completed the work really quickly and were very reasonably priced. Would definitely use again/recommend! " (Michelle, Sept 2024, bark.com)
​
"EXCELLENT. The engineer was excellent. He responded extremely quickly to my initial enquiry and once I had sent the plans through he quickly messaged with his initial thoughts. He arrived on site on time. He had clearly looked at the architect plans in detail and made comprehensive notes on the way round. He was polite and very professional. We needed his report swiftly and he worked hard to get it to us earlier than the usual turn around. I would highly recommend." (Remy, Sept 2022. yell.com)
