Culture
Practice
OR Consulting is a creative and responsive alternative to larger practices. Our design specialisms are delivered within our project teams, not by a team of individual specialists. We collaborate closely with our clients and project partners to deliver solutions that are the best they can be.
We are committed to developing and encouraging well rounded and creative engineers and we employ tools from simple sketching to advanced 3D modelling techniques to inform, communicate and co-ordinate our ideas with others.
We have a culture of rigorous internal review to ensure our strategies are efficient, safe and maintainable and that our procurement documents “buy” our designs effectively across all packages.
Our projects are developed from inception to operation and we seek to continually learn and improve our process by monitoring our completed projects.
Our History
OR Consulting Engineers was founded by Peter Roberts in 2006 to pursue his passion for the “hands-on” design of the low carbon built environment. Prior to this, Peter worked at Buro Happold as an associate director, leading a team of Engineers, and Oscar Faber Consulting Engineers (now part of Aecom) for 9 years.
Peter studied a honours degree in building services engineering at Loughborough University and completed a further MSc in Acoustics in 2000, to facilitate his passion for integrated building design solutions. Peter is a chartered engineer and a member of both the Chartered Institute of Building Services and the Institute of Acoustics.
Peter has developed a highly innovative style, delivering low energy projects across a range of building sectors. Peter’s passion is for providing integrated, low energy solutions, which offer best value to the client. Peter has led the design and construction of many prestigious buildings in the UK and abroad, including theatres, residential housing, office spaces, heritage buildings, galleries, schools and university complexes.
