Drees & Sommer UK Limited

We are Drees & Sommer. Our mission is simple: to create a world we want to live in by delivering world-class strategic advice and service activation across the built environment.

With a partner-managed team of 5,100 people across 59 offices globally—including seven key UK regions—we provide the scale of a multinational powerhouse with the personal touch of a local consultant. We support companies of all sizes, from private investors to government bodies, helping them navigate the complexities of property development, management, and sustainability.

A Multi-Disciplinary Powerhouse in the UK

Our recent growth, including the integration of Johnston Houston and RSP Consulting Engineers, has significantly expanded our reach and technical depth. We don't just offer advice; we provide end-to-end solutions that cover the entire lifecycle of a building.

From Parliamentary Estates to Healthcare Innovation

We are proud to be the preferred partner for some of the UK’s most prestigious and sensitive projects. Our expertise is trusted at the highest levels of the public and private sectors:

• UK Parliament: We provide MEPFS (Mechanical, Electrical, Public Health, and Fire Safety) expertise for the Parliamentary Estates project.
• Ministry of Defence: We are currently supporting the Defence Estate Optimisation Portfolio, ensuring the UK's military infrastructure is fit for the future.
• Healthcare Excellence: We recently delivered state-of-the-art resuscitation facilities at Russells Hall Hospital, managing the project from inception to completion.
• Global Research: Our work on the pRED Research Center in Basel demonstrates our ability to deliver high-tech infrastructure for the world's leading scientific challenges.

Why Our People Make the Difference

We believe that great projects are built by great people. As an accredited Investor in People and a Building Magazine Top 50 Employer, we foster an environment where experts stay and grow.

"Our low staff turnover and the fact that many of our divisional directors started here as graduates is a testament to the professional, supportive environment we’ve built."

When you hire us, you aren't just getting a report; you are getting a dedicated team committed to quality, sustainability, and the long-term value of your assets. Whether we are volunteering at local food banks in Liverpool or managing multi-million pound engineering contracts, we are invested in the communities where we work.
