“I have worked with Code HQ for over a decade. In my job I have to liaise with the Building Surveyors on behalf of our clients. We have always found them to be trustworthy, reliable and responsive. They are transparent and give excellent value, without compromising on quality. I recently needed to obtain a building permit for my own project and found that this was delivered seamlessly and in a time frame that was far quicker than I'd expected. Would definitely recommend.”
