Our team is what sets us apart. Their experience, talent and commitment mean we bring energy and enthusiasm to every single project, every single day. Our close-knit team of Engineers and Technicians bring with them the skills needed to tackle whatever a project throws at them. With Lyons O’Neill, you benefit from the breadth of our experience, our passion for what we do, and our commitment to delivering excellence.  

We approach each project with fresh eyes. Rather than push repetitive techniques or look to retro-fit design ideas, all our solutions are bespoke and respond to the brief. The Lyons O’Neill team leverage their years of expertise, cross-sector experience, and a collaborative approach in order to design the best solution for each client and ensure it aligns with architectural intent. Whether it’s a bespoke process or using a traditional system in a novel way, we promote a culture of innovation and conversation to ensure the best solution is found and implemented.

Collaboration is at the heart of what we do and the way we communicate our designs is a crucial element of that. Illustrations are a valuable tool in simplifying and conveying complex information in technical principles. Our engineers are actively encouraged to sketch their solutions at an early stage of a project to express their hierarchy of load path within a structural system and options available. We find the level of finality suggested by sketches encourages crucial client engagement and architectural collaboration, which unlocks improvements and innovations at an early stage. We facilitate kick-off workshops to ensure full understanding on all sides and create a truly open and collaborative environment.
