As employer’s agent, we ensure the project is structured correctly and that the investment value of the scheme is protected. As well as representing our client, we will administer the contract and complete all appointments, warranties, and other key legal documents, alongside organising, chairing, and recording meetings / key events.

The breadth of experience within our professional team means that we have worked across all property sectors, which allows us to provide our clients with detailed and reliable advice across the full property life cycle.

We are there to support, advise and organise our clients. Depending on the requirement the role will be fulfilled by one of our senior project managers or project surveyors, with backup support from the wider technical team.

Principal Designer As a business, we have invested heavily in training key members of the project management team as principal designers. As members of the APS, Association for Project Safety, we are competent in influencing how risks to health and safety are managed throughout the project.

When appointed as project managers on a scheme, we can extend our appointment to include principal designers where required.

We understand our client’s requirements, working seamlessly to provide proactive advice on a range of technical issues, including acquisition surveys and fund monitoring reporting, technical due diligence, landlord and tenant dilapidations claims, planned preventative maintenance, party wall matters, together with building refurbishment and fit out project management and contract administration services for projects of all shapes and sizes.

It is our professional team’s experience, knowledge, understanding and logical, lateral thinking that affords us the ability to provide the accurate, timely and focused advice our clients expect.

WITH THE BUSINESS LANDSCAPE CONSTANTLY CHANGING, WE UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF PROVIDING OUR CLIENTS WITH ACCURATE COST PROJECTIONS Data Analysis Our team regularly extract cost information from our current projects based on the contract data, which allows us to highlight trends and gain a clearer picture of projections and averages based on £sq. ft GIA, and provide a percentage breakdown of costs based on the different elements of the build.

With around 8 million sq. ft analysed so far and a combined job value of £0.5 billion, we have provided cost advice on a wide variety of building types ranging from £100k to £100m, and everything in between.

This insight helps our precision with cost analysis by using the real-time data we harvest.
