Buildings
As technology and economics change, the best engineering adapts and capitalises on the new opportunities to build better and achieve more. From our modest beginnings in 1926, we have grown to become one of the leading structural engineering consultancies.
Buildings have always been at the centre of engineering. From modern skyscrapers to a home, buildings are diverse and hold a beloved place in our hearts. At the core of our business, we have a proven ability to adapt with the changing aspirations and challenges of developers, owners and occupants. To lift the competitive performance of a building, or to help it find funding in tough markets, we combine commercial acumen, design and technical expertise.
Our Buildings Specialisms
Our Buildings Sector is supported by complimentary in-house disciplines that enable us to support our clients during all stages of a projects life cycle; through the planning process, during construction and ultimately maintaining the built asset. It is this range of capability that enables us to say with pride that we are experts in unlocking complex urban development.
Our reputation for excellence is reinforced by our portfolio of projects and clients who recognise and appreciate our innovative, sustainable, cost-effective approach.
The array of projects and their challenges may be different, and the solutions through which the end goal is met may vary, however our hands-on, engineering led approach endures with our clients foremost in our mind; whether it be the low carbon adaptive re-use of Space House ensuring the building remains a long-term viable asset to the prime office market, a flexible research hub bringing together diverse expertise at the London Institute of Healthcare Engineering (LIHE), King’s College London or creating life-saving facilities for Great Ormond Street Hospital with the Zayed Centre for Research into Rare Disease in Children.
Working closely alongside the Digital Engineering & BIM Team, our Structural Team designed Pell Frischmann’s Embodied Carbon for Structures tool, measuring and comparing the embodied carbon content in your structure. To access the tool for yourself and for more information, visit here.
Our Buildings Sector is led by Jonathan Childs.
“Our buildings expertise and capabilities cover a range of markets, including residential, workspace, higher education, science, healthcare, hotels, leisure, and logistics. This broad range of experience enables us to think innovatively and to approach each commission with a unique perspective, tailoring solutions to ensure successful outcomes.”
