What Do Architects Really Want From Engineers?

Let’s be honest - structural engineering doesn’t always get the spotlight. But maybe it should.


Architects pour creativity, thought, and vision into every design. So the last thing anyone wants is an engineering team that complicates the process, slows it down, or tries to override the architectural intent.


At JMS Engineers, we see it differently.


We believe good structural and civil engineering should support your design - not fight against it. That means working collaboratively, solving problems creatively, and never disappearing halfway through RIBA Stage 4.


Real Collaboration, Real Projects

Across London and East Anglia, we’re proud to have worked alongside architects on everything from ambitious residential conversions to understated detailing and SuDS strategies that actually help with planning.


We’ve pulled together a few of our recent favourites - smart designs, well engineered.

Why Architects Choose JMS Engineers


  • Clear Communication – No jargon, no confusion. Just straightforward advice and a friendly team who pick up the phone.

  • Creative Thinking – Whether it's a tricky retrofit or a tight urban site, we work with the architecture to get the best result.

  • Local Knowledge – From the clay soils of Suffolk to the dense developments of Hackney, we know how to engineer for this region.


If you’re an architect working in London or East Anglia - we’d love to hear from you.

What do you look for in an engineering partner? What makes a collaboration work brilliantly (or fall flat)?


Drop us a message, share your thoughts, or send over a project you're working on. We’re always up for a good conversation - and better engineering.


JMS Engineers are award-winning Consulting Structural & Civil Engineers with over 25 years experience in providing engineering solutions across residential, commercial and industrial projects.
