Structural Engineering Services in Southampton, Hampshire, UK

“Without doubt the best development and construction team in London. Did a fantastic job on our photo studio. Clients exceptionally happy.”

“We hired Nick and Paul at Raylian to lead a tricky 550 m2 office conversion into residential space in a prime location central Chiswick. Along with the practice personal creative skills I was very impressed by their technical know how. The teams knowledge of building regulations, local authority planning requirements and technical building skills saved me a substantial amount in architects fees and it was comforting to experience their confidence when addressing the builders and trades and the respect they attracted. The creative design planning stage and specification for finishes and furnishings was professional and stress free. It was great to have a designer sketch their ideas while explaining their thoughts. Discussing ideas in 3D is a real advantage. Given the licence to express themselves they came up with some really great ideas. Project management was equally important, especially with all the H&S requirements attached to the industry these days. I also felt once the budget was approved they made a good effort to protect it right through to completion. Raylian are a one stop shop for any size of residential project and I am happy to give them a 5 star review. AW. Chiswick.”

“I viewed the renovated property on the market (for sale) and was impressed with the quality of the workmanship and finish in the rooms. The additional rooms were a good size and in keeping with the rest of the house. The kitchen layout maximised cupboard space but still created a light and airy space. The bathrooms were finished to a high standard. I would highly recommend this team for your project.”

“We are glad that we chose BHI to construct our new extension, Sean and his team were professional, courteous and trustworthy. We had no reservations about moving out of the house and leaving our home and contents in Seans capable hands during construction. All aspects of their work was carried out to a high standard and Sean was always keen to see that the client was satisfied. We would highly recommend them and happily use them again.”

“Recommended to us, seen locally - we have had a barn with room above built in our garden. These guys were brilliant from start to finish and the building was only signed off once we were entirely satisfied. Would recommend and have already recommended to others.”

“Amazing! Nico has so many great design ideas that we hadn’t thought of. He kept us up to date of what was happening with the work all the time. They cleaned up after themselves every day and made sure that we were happy with what was happening. We are so pleased with the extention which was a beautiful kitchen/breakfast room, and the new family bathroom. I can not recommend them enough.”

“We are totally pleased with your company, your people, and your subcontractors on the craftsmanship of your product. We continue to be totally satisfied with the building that you built for me two years ago.”

“"We were recommended to use RMR by a neighbour and we have never had cause to regret it. From design concept through to completion the team were excellent. Raki’s vision and the skills and experienced craftsmanship of his team is a winning combination. At no point was the project neglected in favour of another build – we had several people on site every day for six months. Everyone we worked with at RMR are pleasant, personable, extremely competent and very hard-working. Nothing is too much trouble. We are delighted with the end-result and would not hesitate to recommend RMR to anyone."”

“We have used the end to end Ridgeback services, from planning support, design through to build. Our first meeting was 6 years ago and are still bombarding them with new projects even as we speak they are finalizing a garden room and day bed area for the garden! They are reliable, trust worthy and their design department has been a real source of unique ideas and solutions. The site team are tidy, take pride in their work and are generally good to have on site. Overall their unique ability to take a client brief and translate that into practical solutions is what makes them unique. They build for each client as individuals.”

“Right from the start I knew things were going to be highly professional. Will got back to me within 3 or 4 days with a quote on a sizeable project whereas a previous candidate had taken over two weeks. He was able to start within an acceptable time frame so off we went. Anyone who has dealt with builders will know all about sharp intakes of breath and phrases like " Well I don't know about that, It's going to be expensive". Will's greatest strength, apart from his enormous charm, is his ability so see and understand what the client wants and do his best to fulfil those wishes. Along the way I had to change a number of things, some of them quite major like taking out a chimney breast but none of this was a problem. I should add that he came up with many really good ideas himself which was an invaluable contribution to the wonderful end result. His initial estimate was not the cheapest of the three that I had but as they say " you get what you pay for" and I would say without any hesitation that I made the right decision. Another of Will's great assets is that he is always accessible and if he happened to be stuck up a ladder he would call me back. So many other builders never answer their phone or take days to get back to you. Fantastic job, a wonderful polite team who were very tidy and professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.”
