EXCELLENT Based on 6 reviews Posted on Christopher EdwardsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dawsons were excellent on our complex project in Macclesfield. Site conditions were very tight with multiple trades in a small area inside a building. Oliver managed the project to make sure it ran smoothly. Also sorted out the changes to the design overnight to keep the job on track. Highly recommended.Posted on Anthony KoumiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you for your work Oliver & team. I didn’t have a clue when it comes to piling, I kept asking for advice before the work commenced and all questions were answered, I had two quotes, Oliver was not only cheaper but made me feel more comfortable - and SOCOTEC building control passed it all through without a problem.
