A philosophy borrowed
from medicine, applied
to buildings.
We are an independent engineering consultancy specialising in building diagnostics, structural rehabilitation and asset stewardship — built on a single discipline: understand before you treat.
The word Nidāna originates from Sanskrit and means diagnosis — the process of identifying the root cause before prescribing a solution. In Ayurveda, physicians perform Nidāna before treatment is ever considered.
We believe engineering deserves the same discipline. A building's defects — cracking, water ingress, corrosion, concrete deterioration, structural movement, façade distress — are symptoms. Treating a symptom without understanding its cause rarely solves the underlying problem, and often masks it until it resurfaces at greater cost.
So we investigate first. We diagnose. Only then do we recommend.
Redefining how existing buildings are managed.
To make scientific diagnosis, engineering stewardship and lifecycle thinking the foundation of every remediation decision.
Independent engineering, evidence-based decisions.
To preserve and extend the life of built assets through root cause diagnostics and structural solutions that deliver long-term value to owners and communities.
Owners and stewards of the built environment.
Puneet Sharma
Nidāna Consulting is led by a structural engineer with over a decade of experience across capital works delivery, remedial engineering, project management and contract superintendence. That background — inspecting, diagnosing and overseeing the rehabilitation of existing buildings — is the practical foundation the firm's philosophy is drawn from.
We don't simply recommend repairs. We help clients understand their buildings.
