Structural Inspection, Edinburgh, Georgie - May 2018Structural Inspection, East Kilbride - Ms Heaney, Feb 2018
Structural Inspection, Edinburgh, Roddy - April 2017
Quality of service : there was a misunderstanding in that the supplier contracted to provide a report but only provided verbal discussion which they called the "report" afterwards. We feel that the common understanding of a report is a written document providing information and guidance. The supplier was only prepared to provide a "short letter report confirming these discussions" for an additional £100 (presumably plus VAT). When we asked to clarify this, there was no further communication from the supplier.
Value for money : The supplier left us with virtually no beneficial advice (from memory, something along the lines: "you will need to get specialist tests done to find out what is required")
Professionalism : The person was 10 min late; they had not taken a torch with them (and pocketed mine in the process - and returned it when I came after them at the end of the visit); mis-measured; took drawings and photos without producing any written advice from these. The person appeared to know something about civil engineering, though I cannot verify this.
Structural Inspection, Edinburgh, Mr Helfer - December 2016Structural Inspection, Glasgow, I Streule - October 2016
Promptness of response : This was the only company provided so I had nothing to compare them with. I am still waiting for my architect to tell me what another structural engineer is looking to charge.

The website is easy to navigate and was very useful to us for getting the specific service we required and we used David Narro Associates Ltd, Consulting Structural & Civil Engineers. Gary Moyes from David Narro Associates Ltd, provided a very prompt and excellent service. We will be pleased to use them again and also recommend their services to others
Segun, GlasgowThe website is a great service to provide and it's great to find companies that are actually keen to get your business and are helpful and do what they say they are going to do. I would definitely use again and recommend to others. If only we'd known about this before it would have saved us months of frustration dealing with an architect and structural engineer who haven't been interested. We had been struggling to find a structural engineer for weeks and within 12 hours of completing the form on-line 2 had called us. After discussions with David Narro Associates, we arranged for them to come out. Work has now been carried out and we were very impressed. It was done quickly and they provided excellent advice which means we can now move forward and get our loft conversion done. Many thanks,
Julie, Bearsden, GlasgowWeb site was very easy to use. I used David Narro Associates who were very helpful - the feed back to my query was much appreciated.
Walter, FalkirkWeb site was very easy to use. I used David Narro Associates who were very helpful - the feed back to my query was much appreciated.
Walter, FalkirkHi the website did operate satifactorily although I was surprised that only 2 suppliers were listed. I had no contact from one of the suppliers, however the other architects actually contacted me by email to ask if I was interested - I followed this up and the service I recieved from David Narro Associates was excellent. From the receptionist to the engineer I spoke with (who tried to give me as much information over the telephone as possible) everyone was very friendly and even though this was a small job nothing was a problem. I made an apointment with the engineer - Ben Adam - who arrived promptly, was very polite and friendly, gave sound advice and I recieved the letter of comfort required for my building warrant two days later. The price I was quoted was less than was estimated through the website (which initially put me off) and therefore I was more than happy to go ahead. I would be more than happy to recommend your website and also David Narro Associates. Kind Regards Linda The website was very quick and efficient. I followed up with David Narro Associates Ltd. The work has been carried out and Im very satisfied. I was contacted straight away and a survey arranged within days. The report was with me the next working day. Excellent service.
