Temporary Works Expertise Built on Construction Experience

City Temporary Works is a specialist temporary works consultancy providing professional engineering, coordination and assurance services to contractors, developers and project teams across the UK.

We are a team of Chartered Engineers and temporary works specialists with extensive experience across construction, structural engineering and temporary works. Our combined technical knowledge and practical site experience allow us to provide clients with informed, proportionate and buildable solutions across a wide range of projects.

We support clients throughout the complete temporary works lifecycle — from early planning and design through to implementation, inspection, management and close-out.

Our consultancy is led and supported by Chartered Engineers with significant construction and temporary works experience.

The team combines engineering design expertise with practical knowledge gained from working on construction projects, allowing us to understand temporary works from both the designer's and contractor's perspective.

This enables us to provide advice and engineering solutions that are not only technically robust, but also practical to construct, inspect, manage and implement on site.

Our engineers have experience across a broad range of temporary works, including structural support, excavation support, temporary stability, propping, crane and plant foundations, hoardings, working platforms, temporary access arrangements and other project-specific temporary works.

We recognise that effective temporary works management requires more than engineering calculations alone.

Our approach considers the complete process, including design, coordination, constructability, sequencing, inspection, permits, documentation and compliance with project procedures.

We work closely with Principal Contractors, subcontractors, designers and site teams to strengthen temporary works governance, improve compliance and reduce risk throughout the construction process.

Our services are aligned with the principles and requirements of BS 5975, together with recognised industry good practice and client-specific temporary works procedures.

City Temporary Works can provide support ranging from a single design, inspection or technical review through to ongoing temporary works consultancy and coordination across individual projects, multiple sites or an entire organisation.

Our objective is to provide clients with reliable access to experienced Chartered Engineers and temporary works specialists who understand both the technical requirements and the practical realities of construction.
