“ I have worked in a professionally capacity with consultant engineer Nial O’Brien, 4Square Engineering Services, for a number of projects and can recommend Nial very highly. I have completed a number of complex small scale residential projects with Nial and both myself and the clients found Nial’s input critical to the projects’ success. Nial is an excellent engineer with excellent technical knowledge, proficient understanding of building systems and construction techniques. Through his own construction experience Nial has a unique understanding of the challenges of building. Nial has a challenging mind to push the boundaries further and has excellent enthusiasm for the projects”.

"It was a pleasure dealing with Nial. He was tasked with certifying the support infrastructure on my new extension but when an additional construction issue arose during the laying of the foundation Nial provided his professional input without any additional cost to me. Nial visited the site many times to ensure that the infrastructure was in accordance with his plans. Nial was very accommodating and met with me at my convenience to explain in layman terms the engineering plans for the new extension. Nial is very professional with regard to his work, he is also very personable and accommodating, and the service he provided to me was excellent and extremely good value."
Ms. D Boyd. Rathfarnham (House extension, 2011)
“4square are very diligent in their work and responsive to the needs of the project. I’ve also found their fees to be very competitive.”
Brendan Igoe, Clonee (Structural survey, 2011)
"I engaged Nial to report on rainwater leakage into my home two years ago. Nial engaged with the requirements in a very professional and competent manner. What particularly impressed me was that he engaged with the work in a hands-on manner and not just from the academic, ensuring a thorough investigation of the problems associated with the work. Nial was easy to engage with and very efficient. As both and architect and client, I would recommend him for any purposes where his qualifications and expertise are required".
Mark James Lacey RIAI, D3Design, 40 East Wall Road, Dublin 3 (Insurance report 2011)
"I needed an engineer to design some steel beams for an attic conversion in my house. I rang a few companies who gave me ridiculous quotes. A friend of mine gave me Neil's number. He did a great job at a good price and was able to give a lot of practical advice on how to get the job done right. You could see he had a lot of practical experience as well. I am happy to recommend him to anyone".
