Founded in 1962, Hockley & Dawson is a structural engineering practice with over six decades of experience.
We are widely recognised for our expertise in the conservation and repair of historic buildings, including prestigious houses and other important structures, but our work also extends to smaller residential and commercial projects where clients value the same level of care, attention to detail and technical skill.
We pride ourselves in providing pragmatic structural advice for new build construction as well, whether in an historic setting or an entirely new project.

Our approach combines a deep understanding and appreciation of traditional construction methods and craftsmanship with the considered use of modern techniques and materials where appropriate.
This balance allows us to design structural solutions that are practical as well as robust and sensitive, with an emphasis on minimum intervention, thoughtful detailing, and long-term sustainability.
Whether preserving a nationally significant landmark or providing practical engineering support for a new extension or commercial fit-out, we are trusted for our ability to respect the past while delivering innovative and reliable solutions for the future.
Our portfolio includes a range of buildings from conservation, retail, educational, commercial, office, care homes and residential of any size.
We offer a full, inclusive range of Structural Engineering services ranging from initial early advice through to full structural design and detailing.
We always try and offer a considered approach to design in conjunction with the requirements of the brief.
