Lance Structure - highly recommended—I wish more companies in the sector operated this way!

I came across Lance Structure through their website, and the reviews helped me understand their work ethos—hence my decision to leave a review.

I’m very pleased with their service. Their pricing was competitive, and the team was efficient and professional to work with. They completed the project as quoted, and what stood out most was their responsiveness. When regulations changed, I returned nine months later for their sign-off on their own work, which they provided on the same day.

Highly recommended—I wish more companies in the sector operated this way!

Highly recommended

Following a friend's recommendation, I appointed Lance for my first project, and I could not thank them enough for assisting me so efficiently. They were in contact with building control on my behalf and had the plans approved. I then contacted them with some other queries my contractor had as things progressed, and they replied immediately. Would highly recommend.

Reply from Lance Structures

Dear Nick,

We regret that you had this experience. We would like to clarify that as structural engineers, our primarily responsibility is to ensure compliance with Part A of the Approved document, which pertains to structural safety. This includes the design and assessment of structural elements to meet the necessary safety standards and regulations. Other parts of the approved document, such as those related to fire safety (Part B), and other non-structural aspects, fall outside our area of expertise. These aspects are typically the responsibility of other professionals such as architects.

We are surprised to see your review, as following your email, our structural engineer has been in touch with you and informed you that it is outside his expertise to advise you on this matter and in the absence of architect in your project, the contractor should deal with fire regulations requirement.

Thank you for entrusting us with the structural engineering aspects of your project and wish you all the best with your project.

Best regards,
Lance Structures Team

Excellent Service

Worked with Lance on the removal of a load bearing wall in my flat. The guys were a pleasure to deal with and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend them and I will definitely be using them again on future projects.

Lance Structures

Lance Structures was recommended to me by the builder I used for the project on my house I purchased last year. The work involved the removal of 2 load bearing walls downstairs (one of which was the chimney breast) to make the full downstairs open plan, and a redesign of the bathroom upstairs to make it bigger and a more functional space.
The services provided were superb. They were very professional. I had an idea of what I wanted to do with the house, the structural engineer was able to take this and develop a better plan and made recommendations, for the bathroom in particular, I hadn’t previously thought of. The drawings he produced were spot on and after the initial wait for acceptance by the council were approved very quickly with minimal alterations required.

Lance Structures is the go-to company for all your structural engineering needs.

Their team of experts are highly skilled and experienced, and they take pride in delivering quality workmanship.

I was particularly impressed with their ability to work within tight deadlines without compromising on the quality of their work.

They provided excellent customer service throughout the project, and were always available to answer any questions I had.

I highly recommend Lance Structures to anyone in need of structural engineering services.

Thank you for a job well done!"

Structural Drawings for Building Regs

Quality of initial set of structural drawings were ok. Once in the time critical construction stage, when prompted with enquiries, responses took weeks. Our builder changed approach and proceeded to install supports for chimney breast using gallows brackets as opposed to the steels designed. A a picture of the builders work was sent, showing some worrying deflection of supports and no response was received or direction of approach for months. Finally, at my prompt and request, a site survey was instructed. I was made aware on the visit, that the structural engineer and builder were discussing about me, to my disappointed since I am the client of Lance structures. I expected them to have told the builder to not have proceeded without design drawings from a qualified engineer. Lance Structures also kept saying this was a building control issue, which is not true as building control needed a set of approved drawings to qualify the installation. Post visit, I was immediately presented with an invoice, without any effort to provide a summary of their finding or conclusions. Overall their attitude was ok, but the lack of customer care and commitment would make this my first and last time to employ their services.

Excellent customer service and attention to detail

I am very happy with the service provided by Lance Group. From initial enquiry right through to delivery, everyone I spoke to or e-mailed came back to me quickly. My questions were answered and even some minor changes to the drawings were included in the originally quoted price. Excellent customer service and attention to detail. Many thanks.

Thoroughly professional service

I am happy to endorse and recommend Lance Structures. I engaged them recently to conduct an inspection on our property. I was a little worried about using a company I had no knowledge of but Lance Structures were exemplary. They were extremely professional, really good at communicating quickly and the structural engineer arrived on time. The report came through less than 48 hours later. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Lance provided quick responses to my enquiries and were very professional throughout. I had never used a surveyor before and they were very clear about the work and costs so I could make an informed decision. Recommended

Definitely Recommended. Lance did the structural survey for my flat in Queensway and had provided a quality report that had met the requirements of the freeholder for the refurbishment work. The quote was very competitive and the communication had been very good.
