D D A Engineers

Situated in the heart of London, DDA Engineers is a distinguished structural engineering consultancy that has been delivering high-quality, cutting-edge engineering solutions for a diverse range of projects across the United Kingdom and internationally since its inception in 2002. Following a rebrand and reorganisation, the same successful team of experienced creative designers continue to lead the way in modern design and construction. As a result, DDA Engineers has garnered recognition as a leading structural engineering consultancy, renowned for its elegant and efficient structural designs that respond appropriately to architectural concepts and building constraints.

At DDA Engineers, we are committed to achieving Net Zero by 2050. Our approach to sustainable engineering involves reducing the embodied carbon of buildings and infrastructure, focusing on the reduction of the extraction, manufacture, and transportation of materials, and on-site emissions. We strive to use new materials and technologies that lower embodied carbon in construction materials, incorporating lean designs that use significantly less material through the specification of efficient structural members and systems. We prioritise the reuse and recycling of materials through construction, the lifecycle of the building or structure, and at the end of life.

Furthermore, we recognise the value of retrofitting and reusing existing buildings, delivering greater commercial and social returns while preserving the character of a building for occupiers and the local neighbourhood. Retrofitting and reusing buildings significantly cuts embodied carbon, bringing a building back to use sooner than a new-build replacement.

Our Services

As a specialist structural engineering consultancy, we offer a broad range of services, covering all types of building projects, from traditional concrete and steel structures to modern fabrics, ETFE, and glass. We deliver innovative, cost-effective, and readily buildable design solutions that address challenging functional, delivery, and site requirements.

Our services include:

• Engineering Design: We provide creative and cost-effective engineering design solutions tailored to our clients' needs, taking into account architectural concepts, building constraints, and sustainability considerations.
• Documentation: We offer comprehensive engineering documentation services, ensuring that every project detail is accurately captured and communicated.
• Construction Phase Services: Our team provides on-site support during the construction phase, ensuring that the engineering design is implemented as intended and that any issues are promptly addressed.
• Sustainability Consultancy: We offer expert advice on reducing embodied carbon in building and infrastructure projects, including the use of low carbon materials, lean designs, reuse and recycling of materials, and retrofitting and reusing existing buildings.

Project Experience

With extensive experience and a proven track record in delivering building projects in a wide range of industry sectors, we have had the privilege of working on projects in most continents. Our portfolio spans various sectors, including bridges, commercial, health, hotels, leisure, community, residential, retail, and transport. Some of our notable projects include the Al Farjan, Alnwick Gardens, Alton Towers, Assima Mall, Aviary at London Zoo, and Beccles Church, to name a few.
