ABOUT
Founded in 2004 out of the historic Boots engineering design office, CADXtra began as a specialized CAD design consultancy before evolving in 2021 into a multi-disciplinary Design and Project Delivery firm. Now operating from our own dedicated premises following a move in 2024, our growth has been driven by a simple model: maintain a close-knit, friendly team whose diverse skillsets allow us to handle complex technical challenges. Combined with deep industry expertise, our multi-disciplinary approach enables us to deliver complete, tailored project solutions from initial concept through to final execution.
