ABOUT US

Innovative, pragmatic and elegant structural solutions

Since 2000, John Britton Consulting has been providing innovative, practical and cost-effective structural engineering solutions for commercial, residential, public and conservation projects. The practice philosophy is that the structure should enhance rather than limit the building. This requires a full understanding of how the structure and its component materials work.

Our Engineers receive constant in-house mentoring and external CPD, combined with early engagement with the Client, Architect and other designers to better understand how to achieve the optimum structural solutions for each individual project.

CONSERVATION WORK

"...as much as necessary, as little as possible..."

John Britton Consulting has a strong interest in conservation and heritage projects. The practice philosophy is to pay respect to the workmanship of the past and preserve these important structures for the future, with as little intervention as possible. This involves pragmatic engineering solutions, staying true to the original materials. Projects range from Medieval to Victorian and even early 20th Century Buildings
