Ethos
KDC Projects offers end-to-end engineering services.
We work with some of the top OEMs and First Tier Suppliers in Aerospace and Defence engineering companies across the UK.
Using our extensive expertise and following the ethos defined by our 5 pillars, we have adopted a systems-led approach to provide innovative solutions for all our clients.
Incomplete or underdeveloped designs can delay programmes, forcing rework and inflating costs.
We help you mature designs quickly, embedding validation early to prevent downstream disruption. With right-first-time delivery, you stay aligned with programme milestones and avoid costly overruns.
Weight, durability, cost, manufacturability, and performance all compete. Prioritising one often compromises another.
We provide engineering solutions that strike the right balance, optimising designs to meet strict aerospace and defence requirements without sacrificing budget or schedule.
System modifications and design updates often ripple through multiple components.
Without careful management, they cause delays, clashes, or requalification issues. Our engineers ensure changes are integrated seamlessly into existing designs, maintaining progress and compliance across the programme.
Large workloads or unexpected surges can overwhelm internal teams.
We provide scalable design support, embedding our engineers to boost capacity without compromising standards. This gives you flexibility to deliver on schedule, even under demanding programme pressures.

Testimonials
See what our clients have to say about KDC Projects.
KDC Projects responded rapidly to our need and brought a level of knowledge and experience to the project, which ensured our design met the static and fatigue stress requirements of the end customer platform and allowed us to optimise the mass and design of our actuator.
They were always at the end of the phone and were happy to guide us through the process and analysis results. Their dedication to delivery allowed us to go through CDR and into manufacturing against a tight customer schedule.
We were delighted to have discovered KDC Projects and will use their engineering services again.
KDC has shown to be extremely professional in our engagement and has provided innovative proposals on how to engage and help deliver the ramp up challenges we face in delivering the future submarine capability for the UK.
Working with KDC is always straightforward, with a proactive team providing clear and concise information and always ready to help with queries when they arise.
KDC is very professional in everything they do. Engaging with a fixed-price work package model, KDC offers a high value, low maintenance engineering service provision.
KDC has a deep technical knowledge of our products, developed over the 20 plus years of our mutually beneficial engagement. We know that we can rely on KDC to deliver against the agreed work package requirements.
KDC has consistently challenged us to think about how we can work together and what they can support, leading us to consider engaging in areas that we had not previously thought of. We look forward to working with the KDC team.
Although we are yet to engage with KDC, they have been proactive in discussions regarding how they can support the outsourcing process. They also do not over commit or take on work they cannot support, and this openness in the relationship is appreciated.
KDC’s support to one of our core programmes has been invaluable. Their expertise in Systems Engineering supported the definition of the project architecture and requirements, enabling the project delivery framework.
Although our engagement with KDC is often sporadic due to the nature of our business, when we reach out their team is responsive, making the skills we need available quickly.
