Martyn thank you so much for the review - the team really appreciates the feedback. We are here for you whenever you need us.
We have used DGA services to tender for a few of our contracts now ranging from high-end refurbishment to small loft conversions and extensions and we’ve been very impressed with the service throughout. Philippa and her team are very professional and extremely accurate! One of the best QS’S we’ve worked alongside!

I have worked with Derek Gough Associates Ltd & his team now for almost 13 years.
I have found the services they offer to be first class.
They have a very professional attitude towards all the work they carry for us and its very reassuring to know they are only at the end of the phone when we need any professional advice.
I am more than happy to recommend them to either prospective clients or builders looking to use their services.

Eddie thank you for your kind words and taking time to review. Always a pleasure and hopefully many more years of working together to come!
Michael Hadden was very easy to deal with. He produced a comprehensive report which undoubtedly covers all the relevant aspects..... and more besides. In line with our request, the report was turned around very quickly.
Whilst I understand about Covid restrictions, I do think that a site visit would have made the process better.

Special thanks go out to Michael Pickering who provided a very professional, prompt & courteous service from start to finish. The first project I needed pricing with them wasn't the most straightforward - but it certainly wasn't a challenge to them. Calls & emails were always responded to promptly and we were kept informed all the way along. We will absolutely be using Derek Gough again and look forward to a long working relationship with them.

The QS report was requested by two major companies namely Build Loan and Build Store
I engaged Derek Gough at a cost of £480.00 to calculate my costings which was then submitted to build loan and came back with a course letter stating what is this not even dated or even signed
And no company address either
My response is that it is a financial lesson learnt and next time i should put more effort in to selecting a Quantity Surveyor

Hello David
We are so sorry that you are dissatisfied. We have undertaken an internal review involving 3 of our Directors and the QS who undertook your project and we have raised a customer complaint within our ISO quality system.
In our defence, it is always difficult when a budget costing document is used by a client for funding purposes. This format was never intended to be used for funding bodies, it was designed to be used by small contractors for budget costings. We use a specialised detailed report format for funding projects specifically formatted for the funders needs. Our professional job in these situations is to provide robust cost advice to the funder so that they can have confidence in the costs. We have no control over the outcome of the funding decision in any case. We feel that in this instance we have done our job well within the scope provided and the budget that was given to us.
If you wish to discuss this further please do not hesitate to contact any of the Directors here at DGA.
Kind regards
Philippa Gough
Director
Fast and efficient QS estimating service. We found ourselves with a lot of estimates to complete and so looked for a professional QS service to help out our in house team. Once rates were reviewed and agreed we sent a number of differing estimates and BOQ's to be done. All delivered when they said they would be and filled in very satifactory. I would not hesitate to recommend the services, certainly on the experience we have had.

Derek and Team were absolute professionals throughout a difficult build project. They always had the technical answers, worked well with the broader team and were highly regarded, were quick with solutions, creative when required, but above all trust-worthy and available to help. Happy now to help support them.

David - thank you for the review, at this time of year when everyone is so busy, it is really kind to take the time. We really appreciate that and Ed and the team are delighted you are pleased and we could help to bring your dream project a little closer!
A professional, well organised, systemised company who I had the pleasure of dealing with. Martin Trimble the MD is exceptional and the job was delivered on time and in full - and on budget. By engaging these quantity surveyors earlier in the process - it made the whole job easier. For Cheshire and the North West I have no hesitation in recommending DGA.
