Elliott Wood

Elliott Wood is an engineering consultancy driven by a deep-rooted purpose of Engineering a Better Society. Driven by strategic consultancy with creative and technical problem-solving we strive to inspire clients and organisations to think differently about their spaces – not just aesthetically and commercially – but for the benefit of the planet and people who use them every day.

For over 25 years, we have focused on both small details and bigger ideas, revealing the hidden opportunities and potential that can allow a project to prosper. As Engineers, it’s our job to constantly study and evaluate, so we always look at the bigger issues. We know we can engineer better buildings, why not also apply our imaginations to society, culture and beyond? From there we can materialise new ideas for a much greater impact.
