About Us

Lacey Darwen is a Chartered Structural and Civil Engineering consultancy, formed in November 2023 following a strategic merger of the two directors' businesses.

 
With a combined experience of over 50 years, including 25 years post-chartered, Lacey Darwen offers a high-quality service specialising in structural consultancy design for domestic and commercial properties, civil and drainage design, as well as temporary works design and structural inspections and reports.

Making Projects Faster & Better

At Lacey Darwen, we believe that quality and efficiency should go hand in hand. That’s why we approach every project — whether in civil or structural engineering — with a deep understanding of time-sensitive requirements, without ever compromising on precision or safety. With years of experience and a highly skilled team, we’ve refined our methods to deliver results faster, smarter, and more cost-effectively than ever.

Our streamlined processes, clear communication, and commitment to innovation ensure that every stage of the project — from planning to execution — runs smoothly. We work closely with clients, contractors, and partners to remove delays, reduce risks, and anticipate challenges before they arise. The result? Projects that meet deadlines, exceed expectations, and stand the test of time.

Testimonial -

"I would like to thank Aaron, who came to take the measurements for the proposed kitchen extension at our home - he is a massive credit to your company as he was highly professional but also explained in detail exactly what he was doing and answered ever question we had in a way that we could understand and helped us feel more at ease with the procedure. If everyone in your business is similar to Aaron, then you have a massive future ahead."
