We are Swanton Consulting

Engineering Expertise from Concept to Completion

Formed in 2010, Swanton Consulting has been at the forefront of the temporary works industry.

 

Swanton Consulting is a specialist engineering firm dedicated to supporting the construction phase of projects with precision and innovation. We provide expert services in construction sequencing, structural stability and capacity assessments, and temporary works design, spanning demolition, structural build, and fit-out stages. Our team of experienced engineers and technicians brings deep knowledge in façade retention, basement construction, ground retention, tower crane bases, and contractor-led design elements.

 

We are committed to staying ahead of industry demands by evolving our design philosophies and maintaining agility in our approach. As an ICE Approved Employer, we invest in continuous training and development across all areas of our business. Our sustainability ethos is embedded in every engineering decision, prioritising low-carbon solutions and validating existing structures to reduce environmental impact.

 

Flexible Engineering Support, Tailored to Your Needs

 

Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of contributing to some of London’s most iconic developments, including the redevelopment behind the Piccadilly Lights, Kensington Olympia, 120 Fleet Street, 1-5 Grosvenor Place, Whiteleys Shopping Centre, Battersea Power Station, The Dumont, Portland House, 105 Victoria, Space House, and 20 Carlton House Terrace.

15 Years of Engineering Innovation

This year, we proudly celebrate our 15th anniversary. Since our founding in 2010 as the technical and engineering arm of The Erith Group, we have remained closely aligned with Erith’s growth and ambitions in the UK construction sector. While our early focus was on demolition, we quickly expanded into complex basement schemes and, more recently, into cut-and-carve alteration and refurbishment projects. Our evolution reflects the changing needs of the industry, building on our core strengths while continuously expanding our capabilities.

“Swanton’s professionalism and dedication to excellence were evident in every phase of the project—the team’s attention to detail and commitment to safety ensured that the complex demolition and enabling works were completed on time and within budget. Their innovative solutions and proactive communication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to collaborating on future projects.”
