Adept

What Adept does

Adept Consulting Engineers is a UK private limited civil and structural engineering consultancy founded in 2007 and headquartered in Leeds. The firm delivers design, survey, inspection, and remediation services across 11+ sectors including industrial and logistics, education, healthcare, residential (affordable, private, student, retirement), retail, leisure and hospitality, government/public sector, historic and listed buildings, offices, ecclesiastical, and petrol filling/EV charging infrastructure. Its named client base spans major UK enterprise and public sector bodies — CBRE, JLL, ASDA, Sainsbury's, Jaguar and Land Rover, Siemens Mobility, Fortrea, B Braun, University of Hull, Home Group, Yorkshire Housing, Park Lane Group/Roomzzz, NHS Trusts, Leeds City Council, and Rider Levett Bucknall — with documented delivery scale of 300+ RAAC sites surveyed, 100+ Sainsbury's EV charging schemes, and 40 ASDA forecourt schemes under a £40m framework.

The firm's product portfolio comprises four pillars: (1) core civil and structural engineering consultancy; (2) specialist RAAC (Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) surveys and remediation design aligned to IStructE guidance; (3) BIM services built on Revit and Civil 3D with ISO 19650-2:2018 certification, including 3D modelling, federated model coordination, and clash detection; and (4) Net-Zero / sustainability services supporting BREEAM 'Very Good' and higher ratings. The technology stack is conventional BIM/CAD rather than proprietary software; differentiation rests on codified methodology, certifications, and human expertise rather than a defensible software platform.

Adept runs a project-based professional services revenue model with fees negotiated per engagement and multi-year framework contracts for public sector work. The go-to-market combines direct consultancy appointments for private clients and contractor-led design-and-build appointments (Marshall Construction, Willmott Dixon, Kier, Henry Boot) with framework-based public sector procurement via Crown Commercial Services (RM6242 DPS, appointed 2026), NHS SBS Healthcare Planning Construction Consultancy Framework, and Sheffield City Council. The firm operates from six UK offices (Leeds, London, Manchester, Birmingham, Hull, Sheffield) with 51–100 employees, pursues event-led sector visibility (DPRTE 2026 for defence, ShedMasters2026 for logistics), and is privately held with no disclosed external investors or parent company.
