Founded in 1972, Clancy Consulting Engineers is an independent multidisciplinary practice dedicated to technical excellence, collaborative partnerships, and sustainable built environments.
Clancy Consulting Engineers Limited (trading as Clancy, CCE Ltd, Company No. 17316459) was established in 1972 in Greater Manchester. Over more than five decades of continuous practice, the firm has matured into a respected national engineering consultancy operating from six permanent regional studios across England and Scotland.
Throughout our expansion—from establishing our London heritage hub in the 1980s to opening Birmingham at Charles House and acquiring structural timber specialist DBM Consultants—we have deliberately remained independent. This autonomy guarantees that our engineering advice is strictly impartial, unburdened by external corporate parentage, and wholly aligned with the commercial and environmental interests of our clients.
“Our focus remains squarely on our core civil and structural roots. We combine creative problem-solving with rigorous technical standards to de-risk complex sites and build resilient infrastructure for future generations.”
Every engineer, consultant, and regional director across Clancy conducts design and commercial delivery according to five non-negotiable standards.
Minimising embodied and operational carbon through rigorous circular design, lean material specification, and low-carbon structural timber solutions.
Nurturing professional progression, certified mental health first aid, and structured ICE/IStructE mentorship for all engineers and technical apprentices.
Valuing diverse viewpoints and providing equal opportunity under our certified Inclusive Employers Standard and Equality Act commitments.
Working hand-in-hand with clients, architects, and planning authorities to de-risk complex sites and find pragmatic engineering resolutions.
Setting national industry benchmarks through structural ingenuity, holographic construction trials, and academic scholarship endowments.
Our practice is steered by chartered engineers with extensive domestic and international track records, ensuring every regional office operates with personal accountability.
