About Derby Design Engineering

Since 2008, Derby Design Engineering has traced that path for some of the region's most daring buildings — from the roof down to the last pile. Bold architecture, made cost-effective and buildable.

01 The practice

A vibrant, modern engineering practice, built to fulfil the most daring architectural ideas — and to keep every structure buildable, cost-effective and on programme.

LC 01Load case

Daring, made buildable

High-rise, long-span and non-standard structures are where we start — finding the system that turns a bold drawing into a real building.

LC 02Load case

Detail as a discipline

Our background working directly for contractors means detailing precise enough to build from — on site, first time.

LC 03Load case

Value, engineered

The most competitive structural solution, implemented — within budget and programme, for clients and contractors alike.

02 Since 1980

Built floor by floor.

Read it like a section through a building — our newest work at the roof, our roots at ground level.
