Olivia Dent

Olivia has extensive experience developing drainage strategies and detailed designs, including SuDS, infiltration-based solutions and infrastructure for adoption.

She also advises on highway design, site levels and earthworks strategies, including 3D modelling, cut and fill assessments, accessible plot design and highway adoption under Section 38 agreements. Her understanding of technical approval requirements helps ensure that proposals are designed with delivery and adoption in mind.

Olivia particularly enjoys working with clients at the earliest stages of a project, where thoughtful engineering input can help unlock development opportunities and add value. By identifying drainage, levels and infrastructure constraints early, she helps shape site layouts, minimise unnecessary earthworks and avoid costly design changes later in the process.

Olivia brings a collaborative, solutions-focused approach to her work, working closely with clients, transport planners, architects and wider design teams to develop coordinated, buildable solutions. She places strong importance on clear communication and sound professional judgement, helping clients make informed decisions and progress projects with confidence.
