Reviews
Vista Civil Engineering constructed our 278 scheme to an excellent standard, achieving immediate sign-off by the Local Council at the same time meeting with the approval of the local community, resulting in the 278 being placed onto maintenance. All works were completed on programme and with no additional costs charged throughout the entire project, which was an amazing result!!
Due to the complex nature of the site, good communication with the various stakeholders was absolutely paramount. As Vista took the lead with all 3rd party liaisons including local residents, adjacent businesses, utility contractors and the local Council, this ensured the project was delivered smoothly with very little time spent using our own resources.

Leicestershire County Council are extremely satisfied with the performance of Vista on this developer S278 scheme.
Coming on board as the principal contractor, Vista have been positive and open throughout - from the early discussions surrounding delivery, through to completion of a locally sensitive scheme in a timely manner - their performance on site and quality of workmanship has been excellent.
The Engineering team at Vista Civils have demonstrated sound project management, proactively engaging with LCC and the public throughout, as well as swiftly resolving the occasional problem from left field, ultimately delivering a successful scheme.
Assistant Engineer, Leicestershire County Council
Appointing Vista on our complex Section 278 highway project enabled our development team to focus on other areas of the business.
Their comprehensive approach to completing the S278 works provided a robust solution and ensured that the certification was released in a timely manner.
In conjunction with the works, Vista provided a quality service to our residents, ensuring they received quick responses and regular updates. They also provided regular updates to our Management Team and were reactive to our target timescales.
I would recommend Vista’s services and certainly work with them again.
Assistant Regeneration Manager, Metropolitan Thames Valley
We are satisfied with the works that have been carried out by Vista Civil Engineering at Hart Village roundabout.
Vista have at all times been professional with the project, always giving updates on what the current situation was with the works! Always available for any meetings that mayhave been required to discuss any issues / problems on site! Been able to communicate and explain with ease what works you required from the workmen, going the extra mile to make sure that the job was going to be completed on time with as minimum disruption as possible!
Hopefully it wont be too long before I am working with Vista on another project in Hartlepool!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Vista on a challenging Section 278 project, I must say that their level of expertise & service is second to none. From the initial consultation to the project's completion, their team demonstrated a remarkable commitment to delivering exceptional results. The project involved the implementation of Section 278 works to a legacy residential estate.
Vista were not only highly knowledgeable but also displayed a deep understanding of highway adoption works. Their ability to navigate the constraints of the project ensured that the works were completed smoothly. The team maintained clear & open lines of communication. They were responsive to our questions and concerns and provided regular updates on the project's progress.
The completed highway works met our expectations in terms of functionality, safety & durability. It's evident that Vista takes pride in their work & is committed to delivering projects that stand the test of time. I highly recommend to anyone seeking a company that combines exceptional expertise, transparent communication & a commitment to sustainable and high-quality Section 278 delivery.
