# Mitchinson Macken Ltd
Mitchinson Macken is a Brighton-based practice of Chartered Structural and Civil Engineers established in 2010. Operating from the historic North Laine, the firm serves clients throughout Sussex, Surrey, London and surrounding counties with a comprehensive range of engineering solutions.
The practice is led by Andrew Mitchinson (BEng Hons, CEng, MIStructE) and Guy Macken (BEng Hons), bringing substantial industry experience across both site and office-based work. Their expertise spans four primary sectors: residential properties, historic buildings, commercial developments, and environmental projects. This diversified portfolio allows them to tackle varied structural challenges whilst maintaining specialist knowledge in heritage conservation—a particular strength in the South East's building stock.
What distinguishes Mitchinson Macken is their commitment to delivering economically efficient solutions without compromising on professional standards. Rather than prescriptive approaches, they tailor recommendations to each project's specific requirements. Their proximity to Brighton and established regional presence means deep familiarity with local building conditions, planning contexts, and heritage considerations.
The team handles everything from initial structural assessment and design through to site supervision, serving both private homeowners undertaking extensions and refurbishments, developers managing larger commercial schemes, and conservation specialists working on listed properties. Their track record, demonstrated through varied completed projects, reflects a practice that combines technical rigour with practical understanding of construction realities and budget constraints.
