About Us

Our Company

Established in 2007, Ascent Engineering initially began working as freelance engineering providers for major principle contractors within the UK. However, it was soon apparent that there was a niche gap within the industry for a bespoke civil engineering sub-contractor that would not only deliver a premium quality service, but who were also dedicated to going the extra mile for the customer.

General Manager Special Works, Morgan Sindall 28.07.2014

"May I say on behalf of all the Morgan Sindall site team, it has been an absolute pleasure dealing with your company, and your onsite supervisor Dave Hogg, Tony and Sam, who have been so professional, supportive, flexible and obliging. Whilst, I fully appreciate it is extremely difficult to monitor sub-contractors, take into consideration the general public, and satisfy the time restriction of low noise levels for the three tower blocks, virtually sitting on top of the project, however, it would appear all measures have been achieved. During this project I have to congratulate you! Colin, Malachy and Dave on the rate at which all site issues were resolved promptly.

Based on the above I would be only too pleased to welcome your company back on any future projects on behalf of Morgan Sindall special works department.

Once again Paul many thanks for a project well managed."

Site Manager, Morgan Sindall 24.07.2014
