Reviews

"I can confirm that Hartlepool Council are happy with the works carried out on the A179 / West View Roundabout and there are no remedial works. Please can I extend my thanks and appreciation on how the works were implemented and delivered within the specified time frame. Particularly, due to the tricky location of the site and number of different road closures required."

"I would like to thank you and your team for the work carried out on the Powlett Road Roundabout scheme. It was carried out with professionalism and completed in the agreed timescale. I am looking forward to working with Vista with next scheme in Hartlepool."

"We engaged Vista due to a lack of capacity within our small development team and needed experience in Section 278 works. The works had been outstanding for years and we were struggling to get direction from the council. Vista took full ownership, persevered in chasing the council and kept residents updated throughout. The works are now signed off and all bonds returned. As a result, we’ve had more capacity to focus on current projects, improved customer satisfaction and a better understanding of the process. Performance, communication and quality of work were all 10 out of 10."

"Vista Civil Engineering are a skilled contractor who undertook footway and carriageway works on Wandsworth Road junction with Carnation Way to a very high standard. They were proactive to ensure they had all the required permissions before works commenced and engaged professionally with all stakeholders. This project included carriageway resurfacing on Wandsworth Road (A3036) close to the busy Vauxhall Gyratory, requiring significant traffic management and night time works. The works were planned and delivered to a high standard, with inspections undertaken throughout the job, to ensure the completed works could be signed off after the works were complete."

"This project was a 7-year old, part complete, legacy Section 278 scheme that had come to a halt. Once we brought Vista on board, we were able to discharge an overdue bond and significantly reduce our liability for further damage repair. Vista successfully installed a compliant and safer road junction for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles. What stood out most was the direct, hands-on approach from the Vista team. Their expertise and ability to take the hassle out of S278 legacy highway adoptions allowed me to focus on my core responsibilities, which was one of the key benefits of the service. The quality of work was outstanding, with Vista solving any design or detail challenges that arose, without requiring my involvement."

"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."

"We engaged Vista for this project because we had a complex Section 278 Agreement requiring extensive negotiations on technical issues with the council. The situation was challenging, as the existing technical approval had been disregarded, leaving us with an undeliverable S278. Thanks to Vista's excellent work and superb liaison with the council, this S278 is now successfully on maintenance which is an outcome that seemed impossible a year ago. Throughout the project, Vista kept us well-informed with regular updates and delivered work of an excellent standard. Their professional approach and ability to take care of the job made a significant difference, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone facing similar challenges."

"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."
Leicestershire County Council

"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."

"This scheme required night time works, significant traffic management and extensive engineering supervision and management. As Vista worked on a fixed fee basis, 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've engaged with Vista on a number of schemes, having the ability to offload sites to an outsourced company who take on the hassle and risk is a perfect solution for us! They continue to impress me with their professionalism, quality of workmanship and regular communication. They are very transparent and everything that they promise is delivered on time and to the highest quality.

"Vista have liaised with Worcestershire County Council to complete a historic Section 278 scheme at Catshill, Bromsgrove on behalf of Taylor Wimpey. The remedial works were of a high standard and undertaken in a safe and prompt manner whist reducing, where possible, the impact on the public highway network. Many thanks."
