Structures
Engineering Technical Excellence

At Haydn Evans, the team excels in delivering innovative and technically challenging designs in the built environment for new and existing buildings, including temporary works and assessments of existing structures across a range of sectors including residential, industrial and commercial, education, hospitality, leisure, healthcare and defence.

All our projects are overseen by Chartered Engineers and Directors who are actively involved at every stage. This hands-on approach helps guarantee the highest standards of technical quality in our designs.

We prioritise a collaborative design process, engaging closely with our clients and their professional teams. We consistently exceed our scope to offer the best solutions, sometimes revisiting the project brief to optimise efficiency. This dedication results in simplified designs, reduced construction times and lower embodied carbon, aligning with our commitment to sustainability.
