Super Structures Associates are an exceptional team of ingenious structural engineers based in Twickenham, South West London. Led by Derek Mason, they deliver the four elements crucial to any construction project that wants to stand out for its design, and deliver on time and to budget:
Expert advice and supportive guidance without the daunting jargon
By thinking differently and asking is there a better way? We bring real value to the project
Commercial awareness and our ingenious creative approach.
Clear communication to your whole construction team; what needs to happen, when and why
A theme that keeps recurring is our ability to ‘think differently’. Our SSA mantra is always ‘there must be a better way of doing this!’ So if you have a problem that needs a different type of thinking; where achieving the impossible is an essential requirement, we excel by bringing real value to the project.

Get yours now!Super Structures Associates was founded in April 2011 by Derek Mason. Whilst continuing to work in the day job, like most entrepreneurs, Derek began taking on a few small projects, working in the evenings and at weekends from his summerhouse at the bottom of his garden.
Once the business started to grow, Derek took the leap of faith and resigned from the day job in June 2012 and dedicated himself to growing Super Structures Associates.
