Testimonial Overview
Efficient, reliable service that is easy to work with!
We could not have carried out such a large scale development without Stuart’s guidance and straight forward advice. I have worked with Stuart on various projects from building my own house to the conversion of commercial premises to apartments but our latest project was certainly the most challenging and Stuart really was with us every step of the way.
I would certainly recommend Stuart as he isn’t just making sure he is signing off your works for building regs he is proactively making your project better through his experience.
My interactions with Stuart have been great. He's happy to help, informative/very knowledgeable and responsive to questions/queries. The FRAs carried out are detailed and easy to follow, I personally haven't come across anything that I've had to challenge or push back on. It's been a pleasure working alongside Stu.
We've worked with Cheshire Building Consultants on several projects, and they consistently deliver a first-class service from start to finish. Their team has a wealth of knowledge across the building industry, and having all their services under one roof saves us so much time. It's a real advantage working with a company that offers such a comprehensive, reliable, and efficient service.
