Testimonals

What does the client says about us:

I reached out to Sam to help with the structural calcs and foundation design for a new garage and car port. The site was constrained and had challenging ground conditions. Sam provided a very swift response and provided a detailed report and drawings to support our planning. Very professional throughout, Sam’s communication has been excellent and has provided just the support we need for this project.

Sam was brilliant to work with. He was able to do a site visit very quickly and turned the report around in a couple of days which allowed us to progress with our project efficiently. He was very professional and great to deal with. We would definitely work with him again

I’ve recently needed to engage SJF Engineering for professional advice regarding an issue with our property.

Sam responded promptly and visited site to discuss the issue; he subsequently prepared an excellent report that has been used to support our insurance claim. Sam is knowledgeable and proactive and will be my first point of contact for any future structural engineering requirements.

We contacted Sam regarding a structural survey of our chimney, and on tight timescales Sam was able to attend for a visit and provide a report for us. Sam was also able to provide an additional drawing for us on again, tight timescales. Sam has been excellent with communication and very helpful. We thoroughly recommend his services.

We reached out to Sam with a residential issue identified by our builder and architect, receiving prompt, clear and easy to follow advice for our project.

I’ll certainly be using him again for any future projects.
