The Practice

Form consulting engineers

Whether you are an individual private client, small business or larger company we recognise that your project represents a significant investment, we always aim to deliver a good quality service to support our clients through the design and construction stage.

Our team comprises of highly experienced and capable engineers and technicians. The practice uses modern structural engineering analysis and building modelling software to produce well communicated, efficient designs. We collaborate with the client and other members of the creative team to develop a design that meets all requirements and needs, considers the Architectural scheme and the existing site.

The environment is a precious resource and as engineers a lot of what we design uses resources and materials that produce a lot of CO2. We believe that through good design we can reduce the embodied carbon within our projects whether this is by refurbishing an existing building, incorporating reclaimed materials or keeping designs efficient to minimise waste.
