Daniel Staines · Chartered Structural Engineer
I build engineering consultancy firms from scratch, and rebuild the ones I buy. Structural and commercial judgement for developers and consultancy owners, backed by an experienced, home-grown team.
Track record
Who I work with
The proof
Five businesses, five different problems: built, bought, fixed, repositioned and launched. Each one demonstrates a specific capability.
Nuclear bunkers. Multi-bay warehousing. High-rise apartments. Multi-level basement structures. Over a 40+ year career I've designed, analysed, specified and overseen the construction of them all.
Behind the experience
The track record isn't theory. It sits on the family-owned JMS Legacy Group of engineering and design businesses, built around JMS, the structural and civil consultancy I started with my wife, Anna-Maria, in 1997. That group is where the systems, commercial discipline and turnarounds were tested for real.
It also means an experienced, home-grown team of engineers and support staff stands behind me. Bring me in and you get the judgement and the team to deliver it.
