Who We Are
SDE was started from a desire to make healthcare better and safer. Providing the best facilities possible for our health system is the way SDE use our engineering skills to achieve this. Our staff experience has allowed us to expand our building services offering beyond just healthcare into cleanrooms, pharmaceuticals, unique & complex spaces (e.g. 4000kW CAT engine dynamometer rooms), schools, pools, building & industrial infrastructure, and on-site testing and analysis. Across all these areas we always take our ethos with us – to make these critical spaces the best and safest they can be.
Drawing on staff ranging from 40+ years of contractor experience to a physics PhD, SDE solve complex problems accurately and practically.
We pride ourselves on getting it right the first time, and even the most minor mistake never gets made a second time. We're our harshest critic, and we expect perfection of ourselves, just as you expect perfection of us.
Let’s Work Together
We love a challenge and are always open to complex and unique engineering problems, and projects that just need to be right the first time.
