About
Simple Works was founded to improve communities through thoughtful, innovative structural engineering. We take a proactive and collaborative approach to design, to create simple solutions to complex problems.
Our Mission
We believe engineering should serve both people and the planet. Our work focuses on public projects that place community at their core, alongside a commitment to promoting reuse and low carbon materials. We take great care in understanding who we are designing for and have extensive experience in community engagement.
As a Certified B Corporation®, we meet the highest standards of social and environmental impact. Our values are deeply aligned with those of B-Corp, ensuring that our governance, client relationships, environmental practices, and community focus all reflect our commitment to being a force for good.
Our Approach
We take a collaborative approach to every project, working closely with architects, developers, and clients to understand the ambitions of each design. We offer inventive but practical structural solutions, drawing on technical expertise without overcomplicating the process. We're hands-on, responsive, and agile - providing clear communication and thoughtful engineering from concept to construction.
Three Studios, One Mission
Simple Works sits alongside Regenerative Works and Scale Rule in a tight-knit collective of practices that all point to the same goal: a built environment that gives back more than it takes.
Simple Works is a purpose-driven structural-engineering practice best known for its creative and collaborative design approach and its low-carbon and timber expertise.
Regenerative Works designs and delivers regenerative strategies to create a positive impact on ecosystems and local value in the built environment, including zero waste and circular principles.
Scale Rule is a volunteer-led community interest company that works with young people through workshops and pop-up builds to spark curiosity and engagement in the built environment.
