Our Team

We have developed a practice where research, material and technical knowledge are key in providing services beyond those of the more traditional engineering consultants. 

Our work covers an unusually wide range, both in nature and scale, with projects varying from minor alterations and extensions, to major new buildings and refurbishment projects. Utilising the most recent developments in materials and construction techniques to keep at the forefront of our ever evolving industry. 

We have the skills required to engineer geometrically and structurally complex projects. 3D computer modelling is an integral aspect in realising many design visions and we are able to use our skills in this area at conceptual stages to help other members of the design team and clients visualise solutions.

Our approach, along with our creative background enable us to work in harmony with Architects without compromising the integrity of their concept. This inspires and drives us to create ingenious, forward thinking but appropriate designs to overcome engineering difficulties and material limitations.

Our Culture

At the heart of Design ID, the culture is defined by a commitment to innovation, collaboration, continuous improvement, high-quality standards, community engagement, respect for diversity, & proactive responsibility. But we're more than just these values—our culture is infused with a flair for fun.

We understand maintaining team morale is crucial as we grow. That’s why our company-funded Sports & Social committee, plays a vital role. They organise events throughout the year to keep the energy high and the team connected. Whether it's an away day, a ping pong competition, or a friends & family BBQ, our Fun Managers ensure there’s always something exciting on the horizon.

This balanced approach ensures that while we deliver exceptional results & foster personal & professional growth, we never forget to have a good time along the way.
