About Us / First Principle Design

We take a hands-on approach to all of our clients by sending our specialists out to work on-site whenever necessary during the length of the project.

At FirstPD our speciality is problem solving. We take things back to first principles, whether that’s First Principle Design or First Principle Delivery.

We place added emphasis on the importance of field experience. Chartered Engineers who are as effective on-site as they are behind a desk bring invaluable skills to projects - allowing seamless transition of a project from Design to Delivery. This holistic approach to a project life cycle delivers increased productivity and efficiency. This often isn’t tangible when costing a project at the sales phase, however project’s over-running due to excess engineering hours to get a product ‘over the line’ are something which all companies who have been in business long enough have experienced.

Our goal is to enable partners to leverage the FirstPD skillset to deliver their projects on time and on budget. Our success is measurable by our repeat business and reputation within the industry.
