Christopher McCarthy founded Battle McCarthy Consulting Engineers & Landscape Architects with Guy Battle as a partnership in 1993. Battle McCarthy was then among the very few pioneers implementing Sustainability in its infancy. In May 2000, the company became Battle McCarthy Limited.

Battle McCarthy has evolved into a multi-headed disciplinary practice led by Christopher McCarthy, Jamie Hiller, Mark Adams, Cristiano Michelena and Polly Neal with Guy Battle as a Consultant to the practice. The team provides innovative integrated solutions in known technologies in the design and delivery of sustainable solutions for the built environment. Our goal is to seek solutions that find an optimum balance between environmental benefit, social well being and financial viability both for the client and the community. We deliver innovative yet practical solutions through the combined skills of civil, structural and MEP Engineers, environmental analysts, landscape architects, environmental planners, scientists and artists.

In 2003 Battle McCarthy was one of the first Consulting Engineers to participate in Carbon Trading. In 2007 a separate company dcarbon8 was created to develop Carbon Trading in isolation from Battle McCarthy Limited’s Sustainable Engineering and Landscape Architecture Design and Services.

‘Sustainability is a journey of continuous progress’. In as much as sustainable architecture is concerned with the application of engineering progress, sustainable engineering is concerned with the application of scientific progress. Recently Battle McCarthy Limited formed a partnership with University College London (world’s 4 th R+D University) in the pursuit of Naturally Engineered Solutions such as incorporating vegetation as a part of the cladding, water, energy and air quality building and infrastructure systems.
