Meet the Engineer Behind BCE
BCE Consulting Engineers was founded in 2021 by Civil and Structural Engineer Stephen Michael Boyle. With over 25 years of hands-on experience in construction and engineering, Stephen brings a unique combination of practical site knowledge and technical expertise to every project.
Stephen has worked in both on-site construction and behind-the-scenes planning and surveying, which has allowed him to develop a uniquely informed perspective when it comes to engineering and surveying projects. This dual experience ensures that BCE delivers engineering solutions that are both buildable and compliant.
Based in Cork, BCE supports residential, commercial, and industrial clients with services ranging from topographic surveys to structural assessments and building control applications.
