Real feedback from homeowners, buyers, and builders across Nottinghamshire.
“We needed steel calculations for our extension and honestly thought it would take weeks. SECalcs turned everything around in a few days, explained it clearly, and even my builder said the drawings were spot on. Couldn’t have asked for better.”
“I’ve worked with a lot of engineers over the years and these guys are the easiest to deal with. The calculations were straightforward, no over-engineering, and Building Control signed them off first time. Makes my job much simpler.”
“I was nervous about buying a Victorian terrace but the structural report gave me everything I needed. Clear, no jargon, and it picked up issues I wouldn’t have noticed. Gave me confidence to go ahead.”
“We wanted open-plan living and needed advice on removing a load-bearing wall. SECalcs designed the RSJ, dealt with Building Control, and kept us updated throughout. Professional and stress-free from start to finish.”
“We use SECalcs for small developments and refurbishments. Quotes are clear, pricing is fair, and they always deliver on time. Exactly what you need when deadlines matter.”
