All the latest from QuadConsult

Spring has arrived and so has the enthusiasm of the kids of Millbank Primary School in Cardiff to start planting and growing again. The school is lucky to have a garden area along with a greenhouse so the children can learn skills growing vegetables and flowers, and QuadConsult has once again supplied gardening equipment to allow a full class of children to participate in their gardening club sessions.

Have another successful growing season, girls and boys!

When QuadConsult heard that Pontyclun Athletic Bowls Club were looking for sponsors we stepped in with the result that the Club's scoreboard is looking very smart for the beginning of the outdoor season in April.  The Club, in Rhondda Cynon Taf, aims to encourage people of all ages and abilities to play the game, and we wish them the very best for the coming season of competitions.

Continuing the momentum of expansion for QuadConsult, the Gloucester team have moved into larger offices at Southgate House in the vibrant and historic Docks area. The move provides a more spacious working environment for the current team, a hot desk for collaborative working with staff from our other locations and – just as importantly - capacity to expand as we grow our presence in England.

Our address remains the same, and the office benefits from easy access to the M5/M4 corridor offering good links to our clients, working partners and sites in South Wales, the Midlands and South West England.

QuadConsult warmly welcomes Daniel Brooks as its newest Structural Engineer.  Daniel, based in our Cross Hands office, graduated with MEng(Hons) in Structural Engineering six years ago.  Since then he’s developed his career within a variety of companies, taking Lead Engineer and Project Management roles on commercial, industrial and domestic structural engineering design projects.  He is proficient in a variety of engineering software, and is an experienced team leader.  Now a Graduate Member of both ICE and IStructE, Daniel is preparing his application to sit his Chartered Professional Review with ICE in Spring 2025.

In his spare time Daniel enjoys sports, travelling and hiking.  Great to have you as part of the team, Daniel!

QuadConsult is pleased to share that Joshua Lines-Zechmann, Project Engineer in our Cross Hands office, has become an Associate Member of the Association for Project Safety (APS).

This strengthens our Principal Designer services by reinforcing our commitment to construction health, safety, and risk management. Being part of the APS keeps us up-to-date with industry best practices and regulations, helping us deliver safer and more efficient projects for our clients.

Well done, Joshua!

QuadConsult is very pleased that after nearly three years client Woodstock Homes has gained planning approval for sixty-eight energy-efficient homes in St George, Bristol.  The development will feature one and two bed apartments in five blocks, plus public open spaces, flood defences and towpath improvements – homes that are much needed in the city. 

Construction begins later this year, and having provided Civil and Structural engineering support in relation to the proposed drainage strategy, flood risk assessment and structural condition surveys we look forward to continuing to assist Woodstock Homes on this high quality project.

Just before joining the QuadConsult team in Gloucester, Senior Structural Engineer Ondrej Cizek passed his exam to become chartered. 

Earlier this month he visited IStructE HQ in London for the award ceremony where he was presented with his certificate by Tanya de Hoog, 2024 President of IStructE.   

Ondrej was part a group of engineers elected as IStructE Members or Fellows in 2024, and QuadConsult is very proud to see him receive his certificate in such prestigious surroundings.  Very well deserved indeed, Ondrej!

Looking very smart in their new kit are some representatives of the twenty players currently enrolled in the Peniel Panthers Under 9s team, a community run football group for youngsters aged under 6 to under 14 who train at Richmond Park, home of Carmarthen Town AFC.

Quad Director Andrew Villis is one of three coaches training the Under 9s to compete weekly in the Carmarthen Football Mini leagues. Andrew has coached the same group of children from Under 7s, seeing them and the group flourish and rise from six members to the healthy team it is today.

QuadConsult was delighted to hear that the Panthers kicked off 2025 by being invited to be mascots at a Carmarthen Town Welsh league game on New Years Day against Ammanford.  A great way to start the year!

Due to increasing workload and expansion of staff numbers QuadConsult has moved from Llandybie into brand new offices on the Parc Gelli Werdd development at Cross Hands, near Llanelli, West Wales.  We’re really pleased to be based on this new and sustainable business park which has very easy access from the A48/M4.  It’s close to the old office so remains a very convenient site for all our West Wales clients.

Three staff are currently based there, with another in the new year, and we’re looking for more motivated people with a passion for engineering to join too.   Take a look at the Careers page on this website if you want to know more about what Quad could offer your career plans.

He’s managed and delivered economic structural engineering and project management solutions for residential, commercial, mixed-use, waste-to-energy and industrial projects.

QuadConsult gives a warm welcome to Ondrej Cizek our new Senior Structural Engineer in our growing Gloucester office. Ondrej finished his IStructE and CEng chartership earlier this year, and has gained over twelve years’ experience in Structural engineering since graduating from the Technical University of Ostrava, Czech Republic.

After four years he returned to Structural engineering consultancy, and in 2016 moved to the UK. Here he expanded his experience in design and assessment of timber, steel, masonry and concrete structures by working for consultancies specialising in offsite construction and telecom structures while leading engineering teams.
