What JV Tierney & Co. Consulting Engineers does

J.V. Tierney & Co. (2002) Ltd., trading as JV Tierney & Co., is a privately-held Irish consulting engineering firm headquartered in Dublin and established in 1948. The firm delivers mechanical, electrical, and sustainable engineering design for the built environment, structured around four core service lines: Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Design, Sustainable Design, Building Information Modelling (BIM) to ISO 19650 standards, and Project Management. It also operates a dedicated sustainable design subsidiary, JVTE, and holds credentialed roles as a BREEAM assessor, LEED Commissioning Agent, and Home Performance Index (HPI) assessor.

The company serves the Irish construction industry across five primary verticals: healthcare (Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, St. Vincent's University Hospital, the €162M National Forensic Mental Health Service), education (Trinity College Dublin, University of Galway, Dublin City University), government and institutional (Criminal Courts of Justice Dublin, Office of Public Works), commercial and retail (Lidl Ireland, Tesco Ireland's first zero-carbon store), and sports/leisure (Croke Park National Stadium). Notable marquee projects include The Sidings—a Grade A 10-storey office scheme delivering Ireland's first triple-platinum accreditation for Google, Facebook, Stripe, and Airbnb European HQs—and one of fewer than 20 National High Level Isolation Units worldwide at the Mater Hospital.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees on a project-by-project basis, with engagements structured as design-build, PPP, technical advisory, or traditional consulting contracts. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct tender response and direct appointment with government agencies, institutional clients, and private developers. With 11–50 employees and over 4,000 completed designs, the firm describes itself as the market leader in Irish M&E and sustainable engineering consulting, supported by continuous industry recognition including ACEI Design Excellence Awards, RIAI awards, and SEAI sustainability awards from 1995 through 2026.
