About Me

I am a Civil Engineer providing professional engineering consultancy services throughout Cork, Kerry, and across Ireland.
I graduated from Cork Institute of Technology (now MTU) in 2015 and have over ten years of experience in engineering consultancy. During my career, I have completed more than 1,000 pre-purchase residential property surveys nationwide, helping homebuyers make informed decisions through detailed and practical engineering advice.
My experience extends across a broad range of engineering services, including planning applications, compliance with planning permission and Building Regulations, fire safety, disability access, structural assessments, and civil engineering design. I have an extensive working knowledge of the Planning and Development Acts, Building Regulations, the Fire Services Acts, and disability access requirements, enabling me to deliver practical, compliant, and cost-effective solutions for both residential and commercial projects.
I pride myself on providing a professional, reliable, and client-focused service. Whether you are purchasing a property, planning a development, or require specialist engineering advice, my aim is to provide clear guidance, high-quality technical expertise, and a responsive service from initial consultation through to project completion.
Quiet, thorough, practical.
We work closely with clients, architects and contractors from first consultation through to completion — delivering clear, practical engineering advice at every stage.
What our clients say.
“I couldn’t recommend Anthony highly enough. He was an absolute gent to deal with from start to finish. Always available and happy to answer every question, generous with his time and gave me great peace of mind throughout the whole surveying process.
He also has a trained eye, he had a feeling there might be something up with a drain pipe and told me to get it checked. Sure enough, there was a small crack, and thanks to him, caught in time and easily sorted.
He liaised well with the team, always looking out for my best interests and making sure nothing slipped through the cracks. The snag list he put together was top notch, with the developer even commenting on it being well laid out.
Sound fella, great at what he does and really went above and beyond. Having him on board made everything far less stressful than it could’ve been.”
“Anthony was the engineer who snagged my house. He has an unparalleled eye for detail. The house buying process can be an uphill battle, there’s a lot of obstacles which get in the way and it can feel like people are being intentionally difficult. Thankfully Anthony is wonderfully easy to deal with. He maintains open and honest communication, he works with you and he’s completely and totally on your side. If you need an engineer, you couldn’t do better than Anthony.”
