Tisserin...
...where structural engineering meets sustainability
About Us
Tisserin Engineers are an emerging structural and civil engineering practice who believe in creating great buildings while reducing waste within the construction industry. We do this by focusing on low carbon and sustainable designs; close collaboration with our design partners; focusing on the client; and teaching and mentoring the next generation of architects and engineers.
Our experience and holistic approach to design means we can contribute and add value at every stage of the design process, from pre-planning advice and community engagement, to modelling and fabrication drawings within a BIM Level 2 environment.
