Why Choose Us?
We have an organised, friendly yet professional approach, managing expectations and working collaboratively with other professionals and clients.
We have extensive experience working on the refurbishment of existing properties, including the enlargement and careful repair of historic buildings, as well as the development of new builds.
We review and advise, passing on our knowledge of varying structures gained from experience working on properties of all ages and of differing materials. Our aim is to allow clients to better understand their property, providing options for how they could best manage them in the future and, in many instances, avoid significant defects with potentially costly future repairs.
While delivering detailed proposals to meet a client’s aspirations, we consider the big picture. Focusing on client objectives, we consider all options within client and building constraints, ensuring the structural implications of any project are understood and our plans are feasible from a construction point of view.
But don’t just take our work for it. See what our clients have to say about us…
Testimonials
“The Asset Management team within East Suffolk Council has enjoyed working alongside Steria Consulting on numerous projects.
It can be a challenge to find honest, hardworking professional consultants in the industry, and it is refreshing dealing with Steria from start to finish. We would recommend Gina and Fran to anyone, whether they need someone to take control of a difficult structural problem, or to give ‘a gentle nudge’ in the right direction.”
— Tyler Smith, Asset Management, East Suffolk Council
“We were very pleased with the experience, knowledge and essential advice we got from Steria Consulting. Fran provided us with the information we needed to make critical decisions. Advice was prompt and reports easy to understand so would recommend to others. We can’t thank you enough.”
— Management Team, The Locks Inn, Geldeston
“We are first time buyers and after finding a property we were interested in, contacted Steria Consulting as we didn’t know where to start or what to look out for. Gina went up into the attic and found fractured purlins, an unsupported redundant flue and no fire barrier to the adjoining property. This was an unexpected surprise and something we wouldn’t have seen ourselves. Gina was extremely helpful and was happy to take the time to explain the implications and the cost of her findings. She was also happy to answer our many questions! We really appreciate everything you did for us.”
— Perry Shand, Residential Client
“We appointed Steria to help us with our house extension. They reviewed existing detail to see what could be retained and provided good advice to avoid unnecessary cost, whilst still achieving the same design outcome.”
— Anon, Residential Client
“We have worked with Gina on many projects and always find her to be proactive in design and methodology. She has always been approachable with alternative ideas, working with us to complete projects to meet the Client’s requirements.”
— Danny Brunton, M S Oaks Limited
“We received the certificate of completion from Building Control today so just wanted to drop you a note to say many thanks for all your help, especially with all the changes you had to make. We are really pleased with how everything has turned out.
I don't think we'll be knocking any more walls down for some time but I'll happily recommend you to anybody that is.”
— Richard, Residential Client
