Our core belief is that successful projects are built on collaboration and understanding of the goals, needs, and aspirations of all involved parties. We aim to contribute to all projects a combination of knowledge, precision, and creative, innovative thinking, while never losing the sight of our Clients’ objectives. We value transparency, honesty, and long-term partnerships.
We are experienced in working with a broad range of structures and construction materials; from historic, listed buildings in need of conservation work, to glass staircases. We understand that individual projects need to be approached in different ways, while some rely on traditional craft and experience, others require highly scientific, precise analysis. ‘Standard solutions’ are never our first point of call, we tackle every problem with an open mind and carefully choose the best method to meet the specific needs of each project and client. Hand sketches are a key tool in all our design work, but we are equally in our element working on 3D software in a collaborative, BIM framework.
We believe that the built and natural environments can exist together in harmony. We aim to repair and reuse existing structures where possible, and always consider the environmental impacts in any proposals we put forward.
Director
Bart Kolodziejczyk
CEng MEng MIStructE
Prior to founding the company, Bart has gained over 16 years’ experience at Barton Engineers, Alan Baxter, and Ellis and Moore Engineers. His project portfolio is very diverse; it includes work on cherished historic buildings such as The National Gallery, The British Museum, and Alexandra Palace, but also on architectural award winning new built house, basement extensions to listed properties, and new-built multi-million pound residential developments. Bart has lead the design work on numerous unusual structures, including glass staircases, art installations, and temporary exhibitions. Since 2013, he has been an interviewer for the IStructE chartership examinations.
In his work, Bart always keeps one eye on the fine detail and the other on the big picture. When not in the office, he may be found building display stands for his wife’s ceramics works or letting his competitive streak loose at a board game.
