Design thinking, engineering discipline,

Mantissa Design & Consultant is a Dhaka-based engineering and design consultancy established in 1997.

Its capabilities and documented experience span planning, architectural design, structural and foundation engineering, technical documentation, construction coordination, site supervision and existing-building intervention.

By integrating architectural design with rigorous structural analysis, we coordinate complex engineering parameters and execution realities directly. We work closely with developers, public agencies and building contractors to ensure that every project is engineered to standard building codes, material optimization, and structural durability.

Our practice relies on verifiable professional evidence rather than unsupported metrics. By keeping historical records transparently documented, we maintain a clear timeline of professional activity spanning from initial feasibility studies up to site supervision and final handover.

The practice is described through evidence: what has been publicly documented, what is current and what still needs direct confirmation are kept distinct.

Six disciplines
One practice.

By coordinating architectural intent with structural engineering and execution oversight, we operate as a unified consultancy.

01

Planning

Understand site conditions, urban opportunity, and development frameworks.

02

Architecture

Translate project purpose and context into coordinated spatial decisions.

03

Structure

Develop resilient engineering systems that make architectural intent stand.

04

Documentation

Resolve complex design decisions into clear, buildable technical drawings.

05

Management

Coordinate project stakeholders, technical information, and site delivery.

06

Supervision

Carry technical intent into active site observation and quality review.

Documented

Milestones are deliberately concise and source-linked internally.

1997

Practice established

Mantissa Design & Consultant's documented practice history begins in Dhaka.

2014 to 2017

Documented multidisciplinary project experience

A public professional portfolio records structural work across commercial, residential, public, healthcare, industrial and specialist building types during a Mantissa tenure.

2015

Applied structural research

Published conference records examined performance-based seismic design and retrofit measures for existing structures.

2017

Mantissa-supported research published

The Journal of Civil Engineering (IEB) published a study on rammed-earth cladding, thermal comfort and energy consumption that explicitly acknowledged Mantissa's support.

2019

Industry collaboration

The Financial Express documented Mantissa's participation in a multi-company home-solution initiative announced by Toma Properties.

Today

Dhaka-based multidisciplinary consultancy

The practice continues to maintain a public business presence in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
