==History==
The firm has its roots traced to the quantity surveying practice in the United Kingdom of "Horace W Langdon & Every", founded in 1919, which had bought the Singaporean firm of "Waters & Watson" to form "Horace W Langdon & Every incorporating Waters & Watson" in 1946.<ref name=history>{{cite web | url = http://www.langdonseah.com/ice/ice/index.jsp?mod=newsview&showmodonly=newsview&op=view&catid=19 | title = history | publisher = Langdon & Seah | accessdate =
Also in 1949, Seah Mong Hee{{spaced ndash}}who had operated the office during the war{{spaced ndash}}was made a Partner. The firm underwent further name changes to reflect changes in status, becoming "Langdon & Every (Far East)" in 1954. By 1967, the words "Far East" were dropped to reflect the firm's expansion beyond the region and the practice later became "Langdon Every & Seah" in 1969. In 1988, "Langdon & Every" in the United Kingdom and the Gulf countries amalgamated with "Davis, Belfield & Everest" (a firm formed in 1931 by Owen Davis joined in 1935 by John Belfield and in 1944 by Bobbie Everest) to become "Davis Langdon & Everest". Following the swapping of shares, "Langdon, Every & Seah" thus became “Davis Langdon & Seah” in 1990.
In April 2012, the group was acquired by [[Arcadis]], an international consultancy, design, engineering and management services company.<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=11 April 2012|title=Arcadis acquires Asia's Davis Langdon & Seah|url=https://www.theconstructionindex.co.uk/news/view/arcadis-acquires-asias-davis-langdon-and-seah|access-date=2 July 2020|website=The Construction Index}}</ref>
