We can draw on this depth of expertise while retaining the agility and focus of a specialist consultancy, to deliver projects of any scale and complexity. We work collaboratively with clients, architects and contractors to realise shared ambitions and achieve certainty in cost, programme and quality.

From buildings and transport to energy, healthcare, sports and entertainment, we provide innovative end-to-end engineering solutions. We think, plan and design with the construction process in mind, applying construction engineering expertise to anticipate challenges, improve efficiency and enhance buildability. Our advanced digital design tools and modern methods of construction enable us to enhance safety, efficiency and sustainability throughout project lifecycles.

Our portfolio spans some of the world’s most ambitious projects, from Battersea Power Station and 21 Moorfields in London, to the Camp Nou regeneration in Barcelona, Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur, Dubai’s ICD Brookfield Place, and Snowy Hydro 2.0 in Australia. We combine vast experience with the curiosity, passion and creativity needed to solve the most complex challenges. Each project demonstrates our ability to collaborate across disciplines and geographies, delivering solutions that meet complex structural, logistical and environmental challenges.
