History[edit]
Symonds was established in 1960 and Capita formed within the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy in 1984.
Capita Symonds originated as a merger of Capita Property Consultancy Ltd and Symonds Group, following the acquisition of Symonds by Capita in 2004.[1] Capita's property companies had been combined into one organisation in 1998, initially named Capita Property Services Ltd.[1]
In 1999 Capita Property Services acquired the companies MPM Adams and Edward Roscoe Associates. In 2001/2 they formed strategic partnerships with Cumbria County Council, Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council and four Welsh local authorities.[1]
Following the formation of Capita Symonds, between 2004 and 2010 they acquired the following companies:[1]

- Church Lukas Limited (Birmingham office)
- Lovejoy
- NRM Bobrowski
- Pearce Buckle

Strategic partnerships were formed with Salford City Council, Southampton City Council, Swindon Borough Council and Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council.[1]
In 2007 the architectural services were combined into a Capita Architecture brand.[1]
