Approach
As engineers, we are motivated by a desire to solve problems and are continually trying to find ingenious solutions to the questions posed to us. Quality entails not just selection of appropriate materials but also elegance in design achieved via a creative process of collaboration.
Our approach is always to understand the Architect’s design philosophy and client’s requirements from an early stage. The guidance and advice we provide is important to ensure that the most appropriate and economical solution is arrived at.
Problems affecting construction projects often arise due to poor communication. We place particular emphasis on our communication ensuring we understand the clients brief, communicate design information to the project team and co-ordinating with specialist product suppliers. We endeavour to communicate our information clearly and simply.
We always aim to be proactive in the development of ideas concerning responsible environmental design. OMK have been involved in the design of many buildings with exemplary sustainable design including a number of ‘Passivhaus’ accredited projects.
