Temporary Works

We design temporary works for civil engineering and building contractors, with experience shaped by some of the UK’s largest infrastructure schemes.

Our team has plenty of hands-on experience of construction techniques on projects large and small, in cities and beneath them, over water, road and rail.

Permanent Works

We simplify construction and our unrivalled knowledge of temporary works means we can often reduce them to help save time and money.

An extensive understanding of construction techniques ensures we design effective permanent works for building or civil engineering to optimise use of materials and make on-site construction easier.

PDMA Steel

Temporary and permanent works rely on the quality of steel used and whilst most common grades are readily available, higher grades and specialist products require a bespoke supplier.

Based on years of experience and knowledge in steel, to ensure we find the right product, at the right price, even if it means freighting it in from overseas, we set up PDMA Steel.
