Civil & Structural Engineering
Our award winning civil and structural engineers are dedicated to creating meaningful and lasting impacts on the projects that we help to shape. We work across a wide range of sectors and locations to deliver innovative, sustainable and purposeful designs.
We believe in the power of proactive collaboration to inspire new ideas and to proactively challenge conventional design approaches. We ensure that every building and place we deliver has an engineering response that is thoughtfully integrated, buildable and industry leading.
Our approach embraces innovative digital engineering to refine designs, optimise efficiency, measure carbon and streamline construction solutions. Clients benefit from rigorous option analysis, low embodied carbon solutions and a design for manufacture approach. Our philosophy, grounded in the principle that civil and structural engineering can amplify and shape projects continues to guide us as engineers since BDP’s founding.
As a team, we are committed to ‘engineering with a conscience’, always mindful of the positive influence we can have on the built environment and the lives it touches. This ethos is at the core of our work and it allows us to push boundaries while maintaining the structural integrity and elegance needed for exceptional project outcomes.
