Civic strengthens engineering offer in Scotland with acquisition of Quattro Consult

Engineering firm, Civic, has announced the acquisition of Quattro Consult – a structural and civil-engineering consultancy based in Edinburgh. The acquisition supports Civic’s continued expansion in Scotland and brings a team of 15 engineers and technicians into the business.

Founded in 2009, Quattro (incorporating Stuart McTaggart Limited) has delivered its engineering-consultancy services across a range of sectors, including residential, hotels, industrial and logistics. The team will integrate fully into Civic from 1 March.

Operating throughout the UK, from Edinburgh, Quattro’s structural and civil-engineering capability strengthens Civic’s growing platform of complementary services and supports its vision to deliver positive impact for people, place and planet. It also marks Civic’s third acquisition since 2024.

Mark Fisher, director of Quattro, said: “Civic is a natural cultural fit for us and provides the scale and specialist breadth needed in today’s evolving market. This is a major opportunity for our team and our clients, opening new pathways for career development and collaborative, design‑led engineering.

"Quattro has always been a client‑focused engineering consultancy, and our staff are fundamental to our success. Joining Civic allows us to build on that foundation, access a wider client base and work within a consultancy known for its innovative, complementary services. We see this as an exciting next chapter for our people and our long‑standing clients.”

Stephen O’Malley, chief executive of Civic, commented: “Mark and the team at Quattro bring a huge amount of established engineering expertise, knowledge and skill, and they are highly respected by their clients. Their longstanding relationships and strong pipeline complement Civic’s ethos and strengthen our collective ability to deliver positive impact across the built environment.

“This acquisition enables us to combine our respective strengths, expand our geographic reach and range, and reinforce Civic’s commitment to Scotland with a stronger footprint in Edinburgh. It also demonstrates the continued delivery of our growth strategy, helping us increase our scale, resilience and ability to compete, while ensuring both teams can have an even greater impact together.”

Isla Jackson, Civic’s Scotland director added: “As Civic continues to invest in growing our Edinburgh and Glasgow presence, bringing Quattro into the business allows us to scale with intent – staying rooted in place while expanding our capacity to deliver high‑quality, considered engineering that responds to the needs of communities and the environment.”
