What our structural & civil engineering clients say about us

“Barker’s advice and guidance throughout the project, from feasibility to handover was invaluable.
We faced challenges with arranging the installation on a busy site with children and other works taking place, but these were successfully overcome.”

Lorraine Clark. Head of Project Management

“Barker have approached the Post 16 expansion project with the enthusiasm and professionalism that we have come to expect from them. They have supported us at every stage of the process including, the initial feasibility walk-throughs, where they were instrumental in locating the best position of the building, through to the on-site set-up. They provided us with a number of designs and explained clearly the advantages and disadvantages of each. This enabled us to make a valued decision on the final design.

In summary, Barker have worked in close collaboration with us to ensure that this project complied with the local authority planning requirements and the BREEAM conditions at an affordable cost. We have found their advice and support invaluable.”

Alexa Rendell

‘We have worked with Barker on a number of different projects over the last 6 years. Their approach to each of the projects we have presented them with has always been positive, professional, and efficient. We were really happy that our most recent project was finished on time and in budget causing no delays or disruptions to our pupils’ education.’

Berkhamsted Schools Group

“Barker were systematic, thorough and very effective in supporting us with our RAAC issues. Communication and interventions with us and other agencies were speedy and clear, which meant that our gymnasiums were back in use ahead of schedule.”

The Fitzwimarc School

“I was really impressed with Barker’s support right from the Feasibility Study to Handover. It was great to have support along the way and it’s great to see the electricity savings are in line with those modelled in the Feasibility Study.”

Dean Inns, School Business Manager
