Henry Fagan Consulting Engineers & Project Managers' performance and contribution to the job was exceptional. My only advice to them would be that they consider incorporating the modelling software product, Revit into their delivery. That said, the fact that this was not used on this particular job did not detract from the level of service and attendance to the project. They remain top of my list of perferred practices to work with.

This was a project of excellence, where Henry Fagan adopted and developed the curving concept of a highly complex 3 dimensional bridge structure into a sensitive site. Henry's astounding diligence and excellent work ethic, coupled with so many years of structural experience, meant that this project was a great success for the client and remains a high point in the tourist experience of Cape Town.
Henry is an extremely skilled design engineer, with empirical problem-solving abilities coupled with theoretical and mathematical backup. He has a fine sense of how materials are put together, how to manage complex documentation and how to ensure that structural design has integrity and form. He is a pleasure to deal with and this ethos runs through the staff and partners in his firm.

We would highly recommend Jacques Relief and Henry Fagan Consulting Engineers & Project Managers. The quality of work and professionalism they provided was always of the highest order. They were always very courteous and amenable during the development of Townsend House. We would be more than happy to work alongside them for future projects.
