Reviews
Graham Pope's pragmatic approach and wealth of knowledge has been invaluable in my complexed projects over the past 9 years. Steve Cross brought his expertise in designing a retaining wall structure for me which had a difficult site access. I can highly recommend Southern Structural Surveys for your building projects.
