From a single software licensing enquiry, a powerful partnership was born. Symetri, a global leader in innovative digital solutions, has become an integral part of Curtins’ digital transformation journey.

As an engineering firm, we rely heavily on advanced digital tools to empower our people, enabling them to work more effectively, flexibly, and confidently. Symetri didn’t just provide a product - they became part of our team.

“We’ve been on a journey together. We had to meet the day-to-day needs before diving into the strategic changes that help us become better engineers and deliver even greater value to our clients. Symetri took the time to understand our business and where we wanted to go.” - David Price, IT Director at Curtins

One key challenge we faced as a business was a lack of visibility into our software usage. Symetri introduced us to a license monitoring tool that generated valuable insights, leading to measurable cost savings.

The partnership has only grown stronger. Symetri is now the lead sponsor of our annual Civils Insight Summer Programme – a six-week initiative offering students hands-on industry training and mentorship in essential engineering skills.

We're proud of the collaboration and excited to continue shaping the future of digital innovation together.

The NPPF's New Flood Risk Rules: What Every Developer Needs to Know

The Government’s August 2026 update to the NPPF is the principal planning policy document for England and brings major changes to flood risk policy. While attention has focused on housing and planning reform, the new flood and drainage requirements could significantly affect development sites across England. The changes do not necessarily make development harder, but they do make it essential to identify flood and drainage constraints early, as these are now key development considerations rather than just technical issues.
