What FJD CONSULTING LTD does

FJD Consulting Ltd is a UK-based engineering design consultancy founded in 2012, specializing in civil, structural, geotechnical, M&E, and digital engineering services for the rail and transportation infrastructure sectors. The firm operates from two offices — Birmingham (87 Caroline Street, B3 1UP) and Bristol (Broad Quay House, Prince Street, BS1 4DJ) — and serves clients including Network Rail, Balfour Beatty Rail, Alma Rail, and train operators such as West Midlands Trains and Chiltern Railways. Its service portfolio spans ancillary civil design, bridge inspection/assessment/refurbishment, geotechnical investigation, M&E building services, temporary works, composites design, rail buildings (stations and depots), and technical leadership under Network Rail's Basic Asset Protection Agreement process.

The company delivers all design work within a BIM Level 2 environment using Bentley Aecosim (Microstation) 3D modelling and cloud-based document management platforms (Projectwise, eB), and has developed proprietary assets including the Capital Carbon Assessment Tool (recognized as ICE Carbon Champions 2021), generic standardized designs for rail asset types, and a novel pre-cast concrete half-through deck deployed on the Whitacre Heath Footbridge with a 120-year design life. Senior PE-CRE/CEM staff provide independent structural reviews and CAD/BIM/CGI consultancy. FJD holds RISQS Audit and Verification, Constructionline Gold, Constructionline SSIP, and Cyber Essentials certifications, and has received continuous industry recognition (NCE100 Earth 2018, NCE100 2019, NCE Awards 2020 Finalist, ETA SME Winner 2022, NCE Bridges 2024, NCE Bridges Finalist 2025).

The business model is professional services on a project-by-project basis, acquired through direct client engagement with major UK rail infrastructure buyers and delivered via a multidisciplinary "one-team" approach that combines in-house capabilities with externally sourced design disciplines. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the firm has no app product, no API surface, no disclosed funding, no parent entity, and operates solely in England and Wales.
