# Rayment Structures
Rayment Structures is a London-based structural engineering consultancy specialising in strategic advice and innovative design solutions. The practice focuses on delivering lean structural designs that maximise efficiency whilst minimising material waste, carbon emissions and project costs—a critical approach in an increasingly resource-constrained environment.
Founded by Dave Rayment, a structural engineer with over 25 years' experience, the consultancy draws on deep expertise in designing and assessing both contemporary and historic building structures. Dave's career includes notable roles at respected practices including Alan Baxter & Associates, Price & Myers and AKT II, where he contributed to landmark projects such as the East Beach Café in Littlehampton, the Diamond Bridge at Queen Elizabeth Park and Turner Contemporary Gallery in Margate. He subsequently led design at Morph Structures, developing an award-winning collaborative approach.
Rayment Structures serves architects, developers, building owners and heritage practitioners requiring structural solutions that balance imaginative design with rigorous technical execution and practical buildability. The practice is known for interrogating complex problems thoroughly to identify elegant, cost-effective answers rather than defaulting to unnecessarily complicated engineering.
Dave's standing within the industry extends beyond consultancy; he was appointed Design Review Panel Member for Islington Council in 2023, regularly tutors at universities, contributes to industry publications and has judged major architectural and structural awards. This combination of hands-on design expertise, proven track record with prestigious projects and commitment to sustainable engineering principles distinguishes Rayment Structures as a thoughtful, forward-thinking practice.
