Our story

Our Philosophy - The 5 'P's

People

We recognise that our people are our biggest assets, valuing the unique qualities that individuals bring to the team.


Viewing our staff as partners in business, we invest in each member to help them achieve their goals, encouraging personal growth and life-long learning. 


By matching people's roles to their personal skillsets and by stimulating progression, we foster a positive working culture that inspires innovation and industry leadership. We believe in equal opportunities for all, acknowledging our responsibility to provide a non-discriminatory, inclusive environment where our workforce can thrive.

Partnership

AJP's principal philosophy is to treat every working relationship as a partnership, with a co-ordinated and unified approach to our process. Your vision becomes our vision, through open communication and mutual understanding. We believe that relationships built on integrity and trust are key to delivering project success, demonstrated by our track record of repeat commissions. Our ethos to integrate design as early as possible in the development achieves a better appreciation of the full project requirements and allows for synchronicity across service teams and disciplines. 

Progression

AJP continues to reach new heights in our output. Building upon an 'old school' engineering methodology, we eagerly adopt innovation and continue to contribute new insights to the industry. Mastering the latest software and sharing best practices amongst a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, we aim to deliver genuine benefits to our clients and to the people whose lives our work influences.


By taking an active role in supporting communities and listening to people's needs, we aim to contribute to the positive progression of society with future-proof design. We take immense pride in our capacity to achieve a stable environment with enduring legacy.

Practicality

Working within the parameters of value engineering - optimal functionality for minimal overall cost - we are dedicated to providing clear information with choice and flexibility to our clients. Managing the flow of project data between teams, we strive to offer a seamless transition between the phases of development. 


We believe in 'hands-on' engineering, with practical oversight from senior personnel at every stage of the process. Our methodical and transparent approach sees us consistently produce design that is right first time, earning us BS EN ISO 9001 accreditation and exceeding industry standards. 

Planet

AJP are committed to promoting environmentally optimised solutions in everyday practices. Utilising advanced software and expert knowledge within the team, we find smarter ways of embracing our carbon conscientiousness, aspiring to exceed the UK Government's sustainable construction objectives. 


Continually developing our BS EN ISO 14001 accredited environmental policy, we strive to work in synergy with the natural environment, seeking sustainable resources and materials whilst applying low-carbon solutions across all our design. Our ability to produce visual project data means that greener practices are implemented as standard, positively shaping the future of the built environment for generations to come.

What we do

Established in 1978, The Alan Johnston Partnership is a trusted civil and structural engineering consultancy working in all areas of the construction industry.

How we do it

The practice approach is to fully involve senior personnel on all projects from start to finish. This guarantees that the most suitable knowledge and experience is available for the design and delivery of projects.

Co-ordinated Information

We provide high quality, clear, practical and coordinated information that achieves - and often exceeds - the aspirations of the client and design team.

Quality Assurance

We believe that quality assurance is paramount to delivering service value. The practice is accredited to BS EN ISO 9001:2008 and to BS EN ISO 14001.
