Realistic construction strategies from real experience.
About us.
CETA Ltd are Chartered Civil Engineers providing construction engineering solutions and strategy consulting for our clients and partners.
Our ability to identify opportunities to integrate permanent and temporary works solutions enables us to create considered construction methodologies for our clients who benefit from our deep-rooted practical and technical expertise. We specialize in the development of these innovative construction strategies that are founded on a pragmatic understanding of design and operations in the civil, structural and temporary works engineering disciplines.
Our holistic approach provides our partners with the merits of early contractor engagement and preconstruction optioneering, without the bias that can be attached to the need to win projects by Principal Contractors. The impartial guidance provided by CETA Ltd is considerate of the multi-disciplinary drivers in construction projects, ultimately allowing well-informed, risk-managed decision-making by our partners.

We want to provide our clients added confidence in their construction strategies, supporting them with well-considered solutions for their work-winning and early engagement pieces. This confidence is strengthened by our design capabilities in temporary works and some elements of permanent works.
We pride ourselves on our integrity, and this principle will be evident from the moment you engage with us, throughout our working partnership, and even post-completion of our scope.
Our approach reflects the engineering mindset engrained within us.
