Strongly emerging as one of the global economic super powers, India has been witnessing tremendous infrastructure development happening countrywide in recent times. While this has led to the construction & infrastructure sectors experiencing tremendous growth, the ever increasing population and urbanization are driving the growth for residential, commercial and industrial real estate across the country. As a result, there has been a heightened demand for civil & structural engineering services lately. Adding on to this is the increasing awareness among customers about the safety and integrity of their buildings, which is further acting as the rocket fuel for the market growth.
As per Grand View Research, the Indian civil engineering market revenue which was $474.9 billion in 2023 is projected to amount to 801.6 billion by 2030, growing at a 7.8 percent CAGR during the forecast period. Amidst such hypercompetitive market conditions, one company that has created a niche for itself in the industry through its deep domain expertise is SUVIH Engineering Services. Head quartered in London, SUVIH Engineering Services was incepted in 2017 by Sreedhar Reddy N, Founder & Managing Director, with a vision to reshape the engineering landscape by providing innovation-driven and technology-backed services.
Sharing his thoughts on the current market landscape, Amudhalingam, CEO & Director (India), SUVIH Engineering Services elucidates, “Some of the key challenges that most of our customers face today is terms of budget uncertainties and lack of proper contractors. While large conglomerates have their own inhouse project management group, others outsource it to external PMCs. Usually, the general contractor who are appointed post tender process often results in exceeding the client prescribed budgets in most of the real estate project. By giving a detailed cost estimate of the entire project right at the time of conceptualization, we are successfully addressing these critical pain points of the customers”.
Innovation-driven Services
As a full-service engineering design firm, SUVIH Engineering Services offers services mainly under three broad areas, namely Structural Engineering(structural design, structural design peer review and value engineering), MEP Engineering (mechanical engineering design, electrical engineering design, public health engineering design, fire life safety design, site-wide infrastructure MEP design and safety & security design), and BIM Services (architectural, structural & MEP BIM, BIM coordination, CAD to BIM, scan to BIM and many others).
Additionally, the company also provides services pertaining to sustainability such as corporate sustain ability, master planning sustainability, energy modelling, net zero assistance, and decarbonizing strategies. Owing to such diverse portfolio, SUVIH Engineering Services has strongly positioned itself among one of the most sought-after partners for diverse structural engineering requirements.
“Whether you’re starting a new project, renovating, or tackling complex challenges, we offer a comprehensive range of engineering design services. While our structural design services prioritize safety, reliability, and adherence to industry standards for high-rise residential buildings, commercial grade-A offices and complex retail projects, our expertise in MEP design ensures that every aspect of your building’s infrastructure is meticulously planned and executed to the highest standards, providing optimal functionality, efficiency, and safety”, says Amudhalingam.
Championing BIM for Enhanced Project Outcomes
One of the primary fortes of SUVIH Engineering Services has been its ability to leverage the full potential of BIM technology to provide maximum benefit for its clients. By creating a digital representation of various building elements and systems, the company enables its customers to have better coordination among stakeholders, optimize their project outcomes, and accelerate project deliveries. Further, it also provides actionable insights right from the initial design conceptualization stage to construction documentation and facility management so that they are able to achieve heightened efficiency, sustainability and cost-effectiveness all along the project lifecycle.
"Our BIM services foster greater collaboration and teamwork among architects, engineers, contractors and owners, facilitating real-time sharing of project information and decision-making. Through collaborative BIM platforms and cloud-based technologies, we ensure that all stakeholders are aligned with project goals and objectives, resulting in smoother project execution and superior outcomes. Whether it’s clash detection, quantity take-offs, or 4D/5D modelling, we utilize advanced BIM tools and methodologies to deliver superior results that exceed expectations”, Amudhalingam further adds.

Quality, Innovation-driven & Customer-centricity - the USP
Always treating client satisfaction as paramount, SUVIH Engineering Services leaves no stone unturned to ensure that its customers only get the best service quality. Whenever it receives an RFP from a potential client, the team visits their site and offers a detailed proposal comprising of the methodology that’ll be followed, materials to be used, and the org chart of the team as well as a designated SPOC handling that particular project. Most importantly, while most companies prioritize authority submissions and schematics rather than finalizing the final project prospects, the company provides 2-3 options of structural systems along with detailed material summary and cost estimation of each of them right at the initial design conceptualization stage itself. This not only helps customers to have a clear picture of the project specifics and the necessary time to decide before the tender process but also reduces about 20 percent time at the design development stage as well.
To further ensure the quality and efficiency of its designs, SUVIH Engineering Services uses the latest technology tools such as ETABS & SAFE for analysis and Revit for visualization of the design. Additionally, the company appoints a dedicated expert for each project to conduct periodic supervision at the client’s site and ensure that the approved design is being transferred into construction as well. Going a step further, it also asks members from both engineering and design teams to visit the client’s site so that they can see their work in action and boost their self-confidence. As an icing on the cake, every building that SUVIH Engineering Services designs is physically tested for its structural integrity, stability and compliance by replacing the live road component with construction component and added with the dead road component, leaving zero scope for any design flaws in the project.
Reminiscing a project that depicts SUVIH Engineering Services' service quality and its commitment to customer experience, Amudhalingam proudly says, “In a mixed-use development in Bengaluru, comprising retail, office and hospitality, the client was facing challenges during COVID since retail segment was affected badly. The revenue generation of clients was made possible by converting the retail space into commercial office space. Me being the licensed structural engineer, the client takes my professional opinion even today for any layout changes happening in the building”.
