He also spent a year working for Mott, Hay and Anderson in their London, UK bridge design section during this period. He founded his own structural and civil consultancy practice in March 1969, ''David Beauchamp Pty. Ltd.'' based in Princes Hill, and latterly ''Beauchamp Hogg Spano Consultants Pty Ltd'' in Richmond.

He has prepared reports on building Murtoa Grain Store, the Parliament House, Melbourne, the world heritage-listed Royal Exhibition Building Melbourne, and several historic bridges including the Barwon Heads Bridge Geelong,〔(Barwon Heads Bridge controversy rebuilding Engineering Heritage 3rd National Conference 2009 )〕 Princes Bridge, Melbourne and the 1867 Ellerslie Bridge. In the 1970s Beauchamp collaborated with George Tibbits and Miles Lewis on an analyisis of the historic fabric of Carlton, for which they were awarded the Royal Australian Institute of Architects (Victorian Chapter) Robin Boyd Environmental Medal for their report ''Urban Renewal Carlton an Analysis''.
