A Small Practice Founded On Respect And Simplicity

Noriker Consulting Engineers Ltd is a small structural engineering practice based in North Yorkshire, serving a national client base.

As we are a small company, you can be certain that every project receives a high level of attention, service and characteristic dedication, and is directly overseen by an experienced chartered structural engineer. We are committed to seeing projects to structural completion, from small and simple to complex and unusual. We believe that this can best be provided by a small organisation.

In addition to the in-house capacity of our chartered and apprentice engineers, we maintain a strong network of allied professionals, including drafters, contractors, hydrologists and geotechnical engineers, who we draw on to help deliver a top quality service, all underpinned by our professional indemnity insurance.
