PorthouseDean Structural Engineers Reviews 

We were recommended to use PorthouseDean by our building designer. And the choice was well rewarded. PD went above & beyond our expectations, as they added “Hi-spec” to the specifications, and the project (so far) has been successful.

PorthouseDean was very detailed and efficient on getting us the plans we needed. Easy to contact and very helpful so far.

Fast, efficient great service.

Kept well informed, were able to deal with problems quickly, produced final calculations in the time specified,

They gave professional advice which saved money, easy to understand documentation in an appropriate time frame and quickly revised plan after making a structural change . Totally satisfied with result and cost.
Would highly recommend and use again without doubt.

Have used Porthouse Dean several times. Great turn around on calculations and always available to help with any queries…highly recommended

I run The Building Guidance Partnership - helping homeowners manage their home projects.

For my own home I used Chris Porthouse and his amazing team. It was a major project ... approximately 82 steel sections involved.

High quality value engineering / design. A personal service. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Absolutely delighted.

Excellent service, especially the on-line design review with the structural engineer. Thankyou.

Very pleased with the work they did f

Easy to communicate with, good processes and turn around time. Made changes

I decided to use PorthouseDean since I had architectural plans drawn up from an online company and so it was logical to use PorthouseDean. One is always a little apprehensive about using an on-line structural engineer service rather than seeing someone face to face, but I should not have worried. The side extension is now built and the Building Inspector has approved all the structural work.

I had to made two changes to the architectural plans while the single storey side extension was being built; the roof pitch and the position of a steel beam. This resulted in me having to contact Akhil on numerous occasions with emails full of changes and questions. He was able to sort them all out with patience and efficiency. He responded quickly so I could get back to the builder with instructions on how to move the build forward and send the new information to Building Control for their records.

I would happily use PorthouseDean again, but since I am in my mid-seventies it is probably unlikely but I would recommend them since I thought they were reasonable priced and they always replied quick, efficient and with patience.

Good communication, prompt delivery with an option of a quicker delivery if preferred. The design appears to be well thought through.

Would have been better if my request was turned around quicker. My build was on hold for 2 weeks waiting for calculations.

I was referred to them by the building control designers. I found them responsive and helpful. The engineering came through quickly for building control and as I needed them to get contractors quotes. There is an option for amendment and clarification by builders which I have not yet needed to use but I am guessing that it will come and be tested.
Fair and reasonable price for the excellent service.

I have used Porthouse Dean twice in the last few months on two different projects. The service is very professional and efficient, Justyna helped me on my last project, many thanks for all your help.
