01 COST CONSULTANCY & QUANTITY SURVEYING

Cost certainty from feasibility to final account

We provide independent cost consultancy and quantity surveying across the project lifecycle — early-stage cost planning, procurement advice, interim valuations, change control and final account settlement.

Clients get clear, well-evidenced reporting at every stage, so budgets are set realistically and tracked accurately through to completion.

SCOPE INCLUDES
  • — Cost planning & feasibility estimating
  • — Procurement strategy & tender analysis
  • — Interim valuations & payment certification
  • — Change & variation control
  • — Final account preparation & agreement
SCOPE INCLUDES
  • — Employer's Agent duties on design & build contracts

  • — Progress monitoring & site inspection
  • — Change management & instruction control
  • — Practical completion & defects administration
02 EMPLOYER'S AGENT & CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION

Impartial, contract-led administration

Acting for the employer on design & build and traditional contracts, we administer the building contract, certify payments and manage change — protecting the client's position while keeping the programme moving.

Our commercial and delivery background means we understand both sides of the contract, so decisions are made on solid, defensible grounds.

03 PROJECT & DEVELOPMENT MONITORING

Independent oversight for funders & investors

We provide independent monitoring on behalf of funders, investors and forward-purchasers — reviewing cost, programme, quality and risk throughout the life of a development and reporting in clear, drawdown-ready detail.

This gives stakeholders who aren't managing the works day to day the assurance that a project remains on track, on budget and within agreed risk parameters.

SCOPE INCLUDES
  • — Funder & investor monitoring reports
  • — Cost, programme & risk review
  • — Drawdown certification support
  • — Site inspections & progress verification
  • — Quality & specification compliance checks

05 FIT-OUT

Cat A & Cat B fit-out

Full fit-out of office, retail and education interiors — from shell-and-core through to a finished, occupied space. We coordinate M&E, partitioning, joinery, flooring and finishes as one sequenced programme, so trades don't collide and dates hold.

Suited to commercial offices, retail units and education spaces that need a fast, well-managed turnaround without compromising on finish.

  • — Partitioning, ceilings & floor finishes

06 REFURBISHMENT & PLANNED WORKS

Cyclical works & major refurbishment

Planned refurbishment and maintenance programmes across occupied residential and commercial stock — roofing, external envelope, windows and internal upgrades, run to a rolling programme with minimal disruption to residents or occupiers.

Delivered on multi-million pound programmes, including subcontractor procurement, valuations, variations and ongoing quality inspection throughout.

07 RETAIL FIT-OUT

Refurbishment of live, trading environments

Refurbishment and fit-out of operational retail units — store refits, back-of-house upgrades and specialist works such as asbestos removal — coordinated so the store keeps trading throughout.

This includes phased sequencing, out-of-hours working, fire-stopping and life-safety coordination, and close liaison with store and facilities teams to protect footfall and operations.

SCOPE INCLUDES
  • — Store refit & back-of-house refurbishment
  • — Phased & out-of-hours working
  • — Fire-rated construction & fire-stopping sign-off

  • — Cost planning & procurement strategy
  • — Single point of contact & accountability
  • — Programme & risk management
08 DESIGN & BUILD

One team, from concept to completion

Where clients want a single point of responsibility, we take a scheme from early design input through construction and handover — aligning design intent, cost and programme so nothing gets lost in translation between consultants and site.

This model suits clients who want budget certainty and one accountable contact, rather than managing separate design and construction teams.
