An Independent Consultant You Can Work With Directly
Christina Brown is the founder and principal engineer of CMB Civil Consulting. With over [10] years of experience in civil engineering, she has worked across a broad range of development projects — from small residential extensions through to large mixed-use schemes — with a particular focus on drainage design and flood risk management.
Having worked within both consultancy and client-side roles, Christina understands the pressures of the planning process and what it takes to get technical documents approved. CMB Civil Consulting was founded to offer clients the expertise of a senior engineer without the overhead of a large practice — meaning faster turnaround, clearer communication, and better value.
Christina holds a BEng(Hons) in Civil Engineering and is a [chartered member] of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). She is experienced in working with the Environment Agency, Lead Local Flood Authorities, Sewerage Undertakers, and local planning authorities across England and Wales
Our Approach
How We Work
Fast Turnaround
Most fee proposals within 24 hours. FRA and drainage reports typically 5–15 working days depending on complexity. Transparent about timescales from the start.
Collaborative
We work closely with architects, planning consultants, and project managers, integrating smoothly into your team. Good drainage design starts with understanding the whole project.
Clear Deliverables
Reports written for non-engineers as much as for planners. Every deliverable comes with a clear explanation of what it contains, why it was needed, and what the next steps are.
