Our expertise for your timber building design problem.
You want reduce the carbon footprint of your buildings – but so often the timber option is eliminated from consideration early on because the team are unfamiliar with the material.
What if the engineer for the timber scheme is a timber expert? The best way to get quality results is to get us involved early. Give us a call at concept stage. Our experience in delivering the detail of timber buildings helps us to achieve buildings that are faithful to the architectural vision and bring projects in on timber and on budget.
Lean on our knowledge to make your timber buildings better
Tender models and drawings can tell you a lot about a building. But is it enough? Sometimes you need someone to help unpick a design to really understand the risks. We’ll stand with you to get to grips with the design giving you a better chance of winning the contract and a more buildable structure.
Respecting heritage techniques
Your building needs an engineer, but it’s a heritage building: you need a sympathetic engineering solution. Working with Conservation Architects and Heritage Specialists, Tamarind Engineering understands traditional materials and how older buildings respond; we’ve been working on older buildings for as long as we can remember.
Experts in creating timber designs you and your clients can rely on.
“Designed by specialist” – it’s marked on contract drawings all the time. We work with the foremost timber subcontractors in the UK to develop buildable timber designs. Not only will we design the superstructure, we’ll specify down to each screw. If you want a timber building that works, get in touch.
Over 25 years in Structural Engineering, with experience ranging from geotechnical engineering, heavy civil structures and building structures. I have worked on schools and universities, transport projects, on markets, on apartments and offices. On-site and off-site. For consultancies and contractors. For charities. In the UK and overseas.
I have expertise in two specialist areas: Engineered Timber buildings and heritage building projects. Reimagining how we build in the shadow of the climate crisis needs to mean more than just rebadging existing practices as green; timber buildings are part of this reimagining. My heritage work is about safeguarding our built heritage whilst acknowledging the sustainability of existing structures; the most sustainable building is the one we already have. We help reuse, repair, and adapt old buildings to bring them back to life.
I’m here to connect, collaborate, and share insights to shape a greener, more resilient future for our built environment.
