"I needed a moisture protection description for my building permit application and found Konstruktionshjälpen on Google. It was super easy, I filled out a form and then I got a finished document sent to me. It was clear and looked professional. The municipality approved it immediately. I saved both time and headaches!"
Lars P, Helsingborg
"I didn't even know what a moisture safety description was, but the municipality required it for our temporary house. The service here was really smooth, all I had to do was answer a few questions. I received the document after a few hours. Everything went well."
Erik L, Gothenburg
"I'm really not a construction expert, so I was relieved when this turned out to be so simple. I just clicked through the form, and then I got a clear document that I sent to the municipality. No hassle at all. Really nice not to have to think about how to write something like that myself!"
