Design and Management Consultants

What Design and Management Consultants does

Design and Management Consultants Ltd (DAM Consultants) is a specialist civil and structural engineering consultancy headquartered in Warrington, United Kingdom. It serves developers, landowners, end-users, main contractors, and public-sector clients across England and Wales, delivering engineering services from concept through to construction completion. Its offering is organised around six integrated service lines: Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering Hydrology (drainage, flood risk, and infrastructure design), Detailing and Modeling (BIM Level 2 with Tekla 3D modeling for steel fabricators), Construction Management, Temporary Works (designed and checked to BS 5975, BS EN 12811-1, and BS EN 12812), and Survey Services (structural condition surveys, laser scanning, and point cloud surveys).

The firm operates on a project-based professional services model, earning consulting fees from direct client engagements across residential, healthcare, commercial, education, retail, leisure, custodial, and industrial developments. Technology is centred on established engineering tooling — BIM Level 2, Tekla, laser scanning, point cloud surveys, hydraulic modelling, and structural analysis software — rather than proprietary platforms or AI/ML systems. Go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct developer and contractor relationships with public procurement event participation (e.g., Procurex Liverpool) and public consultation involvement. Notable engagements include the North Leigh Park residential scheme (1,500+ homes with Vistry Manchester), structural survey and design work at North Manchester General Hospital for the NHS, and a 36-unit residential development at The Park, Wythenshawe.
