Thoughts for the day 

Alexander Graham Bell 1847-1922

"Before anything else, preparation is the key to success."

 

 

John Ruskin 1819-1900

"It is unwise to pay too much, but it is unwise to pay too little.  When you pay too much you lose a little, that is all.  When you pay too little, you lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing you bought it to do.

The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little, and getting a lot, it can't be done.  If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is as well to add something for the risk you run.  And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better."

The website worked well and I used David Cunningham.  I was very satisfied with the service he offered.  Veronica, Waltham Forest, London.

The website was simple and clear to use and the e-mail summary of surveyors and their costs was useful back-up to the amounts on screen.  The e-mails from surveyors were also welcome.  I used David Cunningham Associates, everything worked well.  They were reassuringly professional on the phone, available at fairly short notice and produced the survey report quickly.  I am happy to recommend them.  A. Epping, Essex.

The website worked very well, was easy to use and listed a number of potential suppliers.  We placed an order with David Cunningham Associates.  They were very quick to arrange a viewing and emailed the Building Survey Report within 3 working days.  This was followed up the next day with the hard copy version, with photos from the Report.  I found them to be very helpful and responsive, and would have no hesitation in recommending them.  Irene Goodfellow.

Yes the website worked well, but the surveyors were spread out over quite a large area.  We used David Cunningham Associates as they were near where we currently live, and to be frank, they were brilliant in every aspect.  Dare I say, they were faultless.  I wouldnt usually use a service like this on the web, however David Cunningham Associates were very helpful on the phone with my initial enquiry and very reasonably priced, so I decided to give them a try. Very glad I did.  R.Webster.

The website was absolutely fine.  I ordered a building survey from David Cunningham Associates.  The survey was appropriate, and the reply (with survey) very much exceeded their estimate on time.  They had estimated 2 weeks, and I got an email response within a couple of days, and the postal copy with photos only a couple of days later.  I could have done without the phone calls from other surveyors.  I dislike unsolicited telephone calls.  In summary, very pleased with the service from this website.  Thank you.  M Smith.
