What Our Clients Say About Us

Mark Budd

P.Eng. Structural Engineer & Owner, Cavvy Structural Engineering

Precision Writing Ltd. helped modify my practice's existing PPMP to meet APEGA's requirements. They were detailed, organized, and familiar with the nuances of engineering practice. I'd highly recommend their services!

Precision Writing helped us create a new proposal template while delivering workshops on how to submit competitive proposals. The overall quality and appearance of our proposals have noticeably improved. Alexandra was very accommodating and delivered the program in a compressed format to meet our needs. We are happy to recommend Precision Writing to anyone looking to establish a proposal development process.

Wade Griffin, P.Eng

LEED AP Founding Principal, Skyline Engineering Ltd.

Since working with Precision Writing, our win ratio increased from 15% to 50%. Those results speak for themselves.

Dave Huebert, Ph.D., R.P.Bio.

Senior Environmental Scientist | Palmer

The ability to produce high-quality technical reports is of critical importance for environmental consultants. Unfortunately, biologists and environmental scientists are not often trained in technical writing and so there is a need for practical instruction of writing basics. To address this need, Alexandra has developed a two-part workshop that teaches basic concepts of technical writing. Palmer hired Alexandra to deliver this workshop and we found the material to be extremely helpful in improving our documents. One of the most useful parts of the workshop was the use of actual Palmer reports to illustrate common mistakes and how to fix them. This hands-on approach allowed us to immediately implement what we had been taught, which is one of the best ways to remember new information. I would highly recommend the writing workshop to anyone or any organization interested in production of high-quality technical documents.

Irene Tuite, M.Sc., R.P.Bio.

Aquatic Biologist, Palmer

Alexandra delivered a technical writing workshop to our team at Palmer. The workshop was excellent. Alexandra tailored the curriculum perfectly to the types of writing we do as environmental consultants. The workshop was structured in a way that was easy to follow and interactive, covered key concepts, and included practical examples and exercises. She delivered the workshop methodically, at a steady, slow pace, which was really effective because attendees were allowed the time to absorb the information and apply it to their own writing during the self-led exercises. I would highly recommend Alexandra as a writing expert and workshop facilitator.
