What we bring
To your project
Our attention to detail and consideration of construction sequencing, risks and ‘buildability’, during the design process is apparent from the outset.
Each project brings with it, its own engineering challenges, and by using our experience gained from working on a wide variety of different projects, from structural surveys to large multi-million pound developments, we can call on our wealth of knowledge and experience to develop structural solutions which meet the needs of each individual client. This enables us to make solid, informed decisions to provide you with the best possible solution.
We can assist you in your early contractor engagement to ascertain preferred sequencing and methods of construction to develop an economic design solution, whether this is for a new build development or works to an existing structure.

Testimonials
Tom provided the engineering design services to our new all school Dining Room and Kitchen project over 2019 and 2020 as part of the consultant team. The project was complex and technically difficult to construct at the very centre of the campus but the solutions proposed ensured that the works could be constructed safely and on programme. His approach was pragmatic and proactive and we look forward to working with him again on future projects.
In all my dealings with Tom he has been friendly, proactive, knowledgeable, and very client focused offering economic and pragmatic solutions to the engineering designs for what are often, very complicated multi-storey buildings in a variety of forms of construction.
