Culture & Values
“Within the Engineer’s brain is an artist’s perception. Several engineering solutions are usually available for most situations. Therefore, as a culture we like to have an ‘open door’ within the office to collaborate, discuss and refine design ideas.”
What Makes Us Different?
Leaders in Sports & Leisure Engineering
We have built a strong reputation in designing sports and leisure facilities, particularly swimming pools. Our team serves as designers, consultants, and industry peer reviewers, offering a level of expertise that few firms can match.
Excellence in Historic & Complex Structures
Our experience in renovating historic buildings and executing complex refurbishments sets us apart. We have successfully worked on projects like Wolverhampton Civic Hall and Herbert House in Birmingham, blending modern engineering with architectural heritage.
Commitment to Sustainable Engineering
We actively promote low-carbon design solutions and ethically sourced materials. Our work on timber-based projects, built to passive house standards, demonstrates our focus on creating sustainable solutions.
Multi-Sector Expertise
Unlike many firms that specialise in just one area, we operate across multiple sectors, including education, industrial, public infrastructure, residential, and commercial buildings. Our diverse portfolio reflects our ability to adapt to different project needs.
Client-Centred & Hands-On Approach
We prioritize strong collaboration with architects, developers, and contractors to ensure a seamless design process and bridge any gaps in communication.
What is the Furness Partnership Approach?
Innovate and challenge previous solutions, as things change, technology changes.
We endeavour to retain the ethos of a small practice that is nimble and proactive.
We always remember that our clients are looking for solutions, not problems.
Director-led, flexible solutions.
Continual Professional Development is integral to our core values.
