Client feedback

"We appointed JLES to complete the complex Section 278 works on this scheme, which required night time works, significant traffic management and extensive engineering supervision and management. As JLES work on a fixed fee, lump sum cost model, we were able to utilise their consult and construct turn key offering and achieved sign off on the S278 works with ZERO Bellway internal resource used. We have now engaged JLES on a number of complex schemes, having the ability to offload sites to an outsourced company who take on all of the hassle and risk – it’s the perfect solution for us! They continue to impress me with their professionalism, quality of workmanship and regular communication throughout the process. They are very transparent and everything that they promise is delivered on time and to the highest quality. I would definitely utilise your services again."
