Norman and Dawbarn

Company

Norman and Dawbarn (styled Norman & Dawbarn, and later, Norman + Dawbarn) was a British architectural and engineering practice, established in 1934.

## History[edit]

The practice was formed by Graham Dawbarn and Nigel Norman in 1934. The practice was preceded by Norman, Muntz & Dawbarn, formed with Alan Muntz.

In 2005 the practice was acquired by Capita Symonds following the collapse into administration.[1] It traded as a subsidiary Capita Norman + Dawbarn until it was merged into Capita Architecture in 2007,[2] though the name continues to be used in some international markets.
