About us

Our founder Nicholas Archer envisioned a consultancy that specialised in structural, civil, environmental and forensic engineering – invaluable skills that could be used to develop and maintain buildings of varying types and scale.

We were established in 1996 in St Albans and have grown extensively since then to become one of the leading engineering consultancies in the industry, serving the public and private sector across Hertfordshire, London, the Home Counties and the wider United Kingdom, as well as overseas.

Our consultancy services are tailored to unique specifications, depending on your individual requirements. Working under traditional, partnering and design-build forms of procurement, you can scale our services for either full or partial support.

Our chartered engineers bring extensive experience collaborating with clients across different sectors on a wide range of projects in the UK and internationally. Over the years, they have developed strong technical expertise and in-depth knowledge spanning infrastructure, construction and structural design.

Regardless of your project’s scale or complexity, our engineering services encompass every stage, from initial desktop assessments and pre-purchase site evaluations to foundation design, architectural planning, and heating and ventilation systems. We also make certain that all safety standards are achieved and that your architectural specifications meet full regulatory compliance.

We are proud to offer a competitive price structure, which is transparent and free of jargon. Our services range from preparing designs for new buildings and refurbishments to carrying out investigative work to determine structural integrity.

Our team understands the complexity and attention to detail required in construction, so we take full ownership of every project at hand, liaising with different parts of our business to make sure communication is always clear and concise, deadlines are adhered to and budgets are kept in line.
