# Phil White Associates
Phil White Associates is a specialist structural and civil engineering firm based in Stafford, delivering expert services across historic buildings, contemporary structures and challenging infrastructure projects. Led by Phil White, a chartered engineer with over 20 years' experience, the practice combines deep technical knowledge with practical site expertise.
The firm primarily serves property owners, developers, and project managers requiring detailed structural assessments and design solutions. This includes heritage specialists managing listed buildings and scheduled monuments, developers undertaking extensions or new-builds, and organisations responsible for bridges, tunnels and earth retaining structures.
What sets Phil White Associates apart is their genuine mastery of historic building engineering. Whilst many generalist practices struggle with listed buildings, this firm specialises in assessing and specifying repairs for timber-framed structures, historic roofs and conservation-area projects. They combine this heritage expertise with broader structural capabilities including contemporary design and challenging access scenarios.
The practice excels at solving complex problems. Whether working in confined spaces, over water, on contaminated sites or around protected wildlife (bats, SSSIs), Phil White brings systematic problem-solving and CDM compliance expertise. Their production of orthophotographic images adds a modern dimension, providing precise monitoring and specifications for deteriorated structures.
Clients benefit from an engineer who understands both the technical requirements and the sensitivities of heritage work, with hands-on site experience rather than desk-based design. The personal, direct contact with Phil White himself ensures quality control and continuity throughout projects.
