OUR PHILOSOPHY.
Subteno was born from a collaboration between two friends, with aspirations to support the construction industry with modern engineering services.
At the centre of our business, we believe that:
1. Clear, open communication enhances efficient design, overcomes challenges early, and drives expectations to deliver results.
2. Our structure recognises equality and transparency through all staff, promoting and encouraging critical thinking, collaboration, and continual professional development.
3. We aim to make engineering approachable and understood by all, ensuring our advice is fully considered, inherently safe and economically and environmentally sensitive.
We leverage our teams diverse experience (past and present) to provide simple, commercially attractive, engineered solutions to our clients problems.
What does it mean to be an engineer?
The roots of the word tell a compelling story.
The English “engineer” traces back to the Latin words "ingenium" and "ingeniare," meaning “cleverness” and “to contrive or devise.”
​
In French it became "ingénieur," and in German "Ingenieur."
At Subteno we embrace this heritage:
Engineers are ingenious problem‑solvers who use creativity, innovation and resourcefulness to turn ideas into reality.
