We are a small team with collaboration, passion and excellence at the heart of everything we do

Our team sit around the same table and work together to create the best possible outcome – whatever the project.

We don’t overcomplicate things. We deliver practical solutions so that you can get on with the important stuff. We listen. We work with you. And we deliver.

The Viden Story

It all began with a book and the discovery of the Danish word, Viden, meaning knowledge. Since then Viden has evolved into the expert engineering consultancy it is today, specialising in the buildability and construction of residential, light commercial and rural projects.

We are solely owned and operated by our directors, Tim Day and Mark Patterson, who are both practising CPEng Engineers. Tim and Mark lead Viden armed with wide-ranging industry experience that allows them to find practical solutions to even the most complex projects.

Together, our team have coveted experience across a range of international and national projects. We’re always learning and never complacent – deepening our understanding of current engineering and compliance trends is a crucial part of our philosophy.
