Structural engineer working on a detailed drawing, David French Partnership commitment to clients

Our Commitment to You

Eight promises that sit behind every David French Partnership appointment.

David French Partnership - Commitment Statement. These are the working principles our clients can expect on every job, whether it is a single beam calculation or a multi-million pound development.

Proactive advice on the whole scheme

We look at the whole of your scheme as a matter of course and, where beneficial, proactively advise on every element such as your scheme layout, buildability, choice of material, timescales and sustainability. Looking at the whole scheme ensures you get the most effective overall solution.

Speeding up your approval time

Over the last 60 years, David French Partnership has forged close links with Local Authorities, Architects, Builders and sub-contractors. These trusted relationships can make a significant difference to how quickly your project is approved, and hence more likely to start and finish on time.

Creative solutions

We positively look for ways to work within the architect's concept and priorities to put forward creative solutions that maintain or even add to the elegance of your scheme. Our knowledge and experience of specialist materials such as glass, aluminium, engineered timber, SIP panels and stainless steel adds value to this process.

Cost-effective solutions

Finding you a more cost-effective solution through different materials, more specialist suppliers or better performing contractors is our expertise. You can be 100% confident that if we see an alternative solution which may save you time and money, you will be contacted immediately and advised as to how your project could benefit.

Friendly and approachable engineers

We have seen that good relationships make for successful projects and that is why you will always be offered a personal service and never be treated just as a number. You will be working with a friendly, approachable and committed team.

Flexibility of service

We can tailor the level of service to suit your budget and scheme requirements. Whether you need a second opinion on an existing design, a quick scheme design or full design and project management of a contract, we can provide the service level to suit you.

Quick response times

We can respond quickly to your queries. To help progress your project and to ensure any problems are dealt with as quickly as possible we use the latest information communication technology systems and will even give you the personal telephone numbers of the partner in charge of your project.

Keeping you informed

We are well aware that our design information is part of a bigger scheme with well-defined timescales. Progress on agreed key stages can be reported to you throughout the project, so you always know exactly what's going on.
