Our long-term relationships with architects and developers as well as the trust put in us by the top facade contractors place Define Engineers in a unique position on the European market. We continue to strengthen our portfolio of work on both pre- and post- tender.
Define Engineers leverage technology to foster collaboration and communication. With the rise of cloud-based platforms and digital tools, our global team can seamlessly collaborate across geographies, sharing ideas, designs, and feedback in real-time. This enables our diverse pool of experts to come together and collectively tackle complex challenges, accelerating the pace of innovation in our industry.
We care about our heritage and through technologies of the future we ensure it is here to last.
At Define Engineers we harness Building Information Modeling (BIM) to create more future-proof buildings. By integrating facade design, structural analysis, energy performance, and maintenance information into a digital model, BIM enables our team to develop resilient, sustainable, and adaptable facades that meet evolving needs.
On every project, we utilise Design for Fabrication and Assembly (DfMA) principles to create more future-proof structures. By optimising the design process for efficient fabrication and assembly, we ensure reduced construction time, minimised waste, and enhanced quality control, resulting in cost-effective, sustainable, and easily maintainable facades that withstand the test of time.
The ethos of Define Engineers revolves around having fun while delivering provocative projects with breakthrough technology. By fostering a creative and enjoyable work environment, we encourage innovative thinking and push the boundaries of design, resulting in captivating and technologically advanced solutions that inspire and delight.
We prioritise delivering sustainable structures through the use of low carbon analysis and materials. By conducting thorough analysis of carbon emissions throughout the project lifecycle and selecting low carbon materials, we ensure the creation of structures that minimize environmental impact and contribute to a greener future.

Our services

STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

We offer structural engineering services at any stage of the project development. We engage for commissions on newly built, existing buildings and arts projects. Our in-house experience in working with variety of structural materials combined with our highly analytical approach allows us to detail and engineer any sophisticated structure with confidence, whether that is within or outside the bounds of codes of practice.

FACADE ENGINEERING

Our team has an in-depth expertise in facade engineering and extensive experience in detailed design from concept to completion. As part of the facade service, we offer comprehensive material selection studies which draw on our experience with traditional and advanced facade materials. We complement our technical knowledge with market specific advice on regulations, contractors and available technologies. We have designed and delivered a large variety of projects in the UK and Internationally

COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN & DfMA

We supplement our core skills with our knowledge in computational design and building data management. We employ those skills to tackle some of the more complex design challenges. We have extensive experience in geometry manipulation and as well as in creating tools for engineering design, BIM and DfMA. Through the use of our in-house tools, we have the ability to create project specific computational solutions for a number of different drivers.
