Riddwood Consulting Engineers was founded in 1979 and over the past four decades has established itself as a leading consultancy of Structural and Civil Engineers across the UK. Our team of engineers are both experienced and diverse, our engineers have over 200 years of collective engineering experience across everything from housing developments, bespoke new builds to internal alterations such as loft conversions and basement extensions. Riddwood Consulting Engineers works across four divisions which are core sub-industries of the Construction Industry; Domestic & Homeowner Projects, Commercial Services, Civil Infrastructure and Temporary Works. This shared knowledge base helps to employ new ideas from different areas of engineering into projects which would not normally benefit from these kinds of ideas, techniques and procedures, i.e.; taking processes from a big Civil Infrastructure project and employing them within a Domestic Project. This approach is fundamental to our being able to offer our clients the widest range of options to suit their design and budgetary expectations. Throughout our history we have always understood the importance of technology and this remains the case today. We were one of the first to embrace the AutoCAD revolution in the early 1980’s and today that same ingenuity can be found saving our client’s excess time and expense through our use of the latest structural and drafting programmes. Our award-winning practice prides itself on Customer Service and Communication with our Clients. Working together as a team, we ensure we provide the most cost effective, practical and sustainable solution for your project. Our professionalism and efficiency will ensure your project runs smoothly and our emphasis on effective communication will guarantee that you are well informed throughout the different stages of the process. 10
