Our verification notes

Credentials here were read off real signed documents rather than a staff page, which is why they are stated with confidence. The firm's own site was used only for contact details and never as a qualifying source. Their work is levee and floodplain scale; whether they take single-building certificate engagements should be confirmed directly.
