# Devise Engineers
Devise Engineers is a London-based structural and civil engineering consultancy that combines design excellence with environmental responsibility. They specialise in transforming buildings through innovative engineering solutions that prioritise sustainability and embodied carbon reduction.
The firm serves architects, developers, and property owners undertaking projects ranging from historic listed building conversions to contemporary new-build architecture. Their portfolio spans barn restorations, retail conversions, clinic refurbishments, and large-scale urban developments like the London Trocadero.
What distinguishes Devise Engineers is their design-focused approach integrated with genuine sustainability commitment. Rather than treating engineering as secondary to architecture, they position structural and civil engineering as central to creating low-carbon, high-performance buildings. They champion adaptive reuse strategies, timber-framed extensions, and Passivhaus principles—demonstrated through projects like their Wimbledon clinic retrofit and Somerset barn restoration.
The practice demonstrates particular expertise in embodied carbon assessment, conducting early-stage energy reviews to inform construction typology decisions before projects reach site. This forward-thinking approach helps clients reduce the carbon locked within building materials themselves, not just operational emissions.
Their work bridges heritage conservation with contemporary sustainability standards, solving complex technical challenges in listed buildings whilst maintaining architectural integrity. The combination of curiosity, technical knowledge, and imaginative problem-solving positions them as partners for clients seeking engineering that genuinely shapes a more sustainable built environment.
