About

Why Us?

Howard Civil Engineering is one of the North's leading civil engineering companies. We are a client focussed organisation who prides itself on building strong, trustworthy relationships that are made to last. We listen to our customers’ needs and endeavour to deliver a bespoke package to ensure outstanding results.

We are a family-owned business, with our most senior director boasting over 48 years of experience in the industry. Our deeply rooted family values are integral to our business ethos, and this is reflected in our relationships with our stakeholders. We feel the wealth of experience earned since our founding in 2003 is key to the success of our business.

Our work spans across four skilled disciplines, with our highly experienced team of professionals offering additional services, such as value engineering and innovation, aligned with a forward-thinking collaborative approach which prioritises quality results.

Trust us to deliver Safety

Our safety culture revolves around the underlying principle of ensuring our workforce gets home safely. To support this, we have an in-house, full-time health and safety manager who routinely measures our health and safety performance and compares it to annual targets set by the board.

Monthly site health and safety inspections result in scores that are reported in our monthly project league table.

Trust us to deliver Performance

We believe a primary reason for our high-quality service and delivery is our dedication to meticulous planning and attention to detail throughout all areas of a project. We use leading sector-related software – from which we produce phasing plans, contract programmes and weekly progress reports - alongside the expertise of our highly-experienced team to ensure positive results for ourselves and our stakeholders.

When our clients trust us to deliver their projects, we offer tangible peace of mind that their project is in safe hands with weekly measured reports.

Trust us to deliver Value

Fiscal value is extremely important to both ourselves and our stakeholders. Our operations are formed from first principals; our highly experienced team is equipped with the latest estimating software, and we work on a time and resource basis to accurately establish our clients’ best value in terms of cost, method, and duration.

Trust us to deliver Quality

Consistency is the key to successful delivery. We achieve this through our robust quality management system, which has been developed and evolved over many years and is audited and accredited under ISO9001. Each contract undergoes a monthly quality audit on our own company-designed app, and the score forms part of our monthly project league table.

Trust us to deliver Efficiency

We know having the ability to contract multiple elements to one single source is attractive to our clients. Our experienced team is proud to deliver multiple skillsets and resources across our four disciplines to a consistently high level.

Trust us to deliver our People

Our clients’ success is based on the quality of our people, and we recognise that the standard of what we do is only as good as our team. We place huge importance on continued personal development and training to ensure every member of our team can realise their full potential. Each manager undertakes a formal appraisal where a development plan for both the company and the individual is discussed and implemented, and we believe this approach is integral to maintaining high-quality performance.

Each project and its team undergo a detailed monthly review to monitor safety, quality, performance and individual management, the results of which produce a monthly league table where successes can be readily reviewed and awarded.

Howard Civil Engineering is proud to boast a core skilled workforce that is experienced, loyal, and committed to our results-driven and forward-thinking company values. We have excellent staff retention and are proactively recruiting those with the attitude and application to complementour culture and ethos.
