Our Building Consultancy team ensure client satisfaction is at the forefront of all our instruction.

From the inception of a project, we liaise with the client to determine the requirements, inspect the site and develop a brief. This can include:

  • Cost, timetable and legal approvals required to ensure that quality, time and cost requirements are met.
  • The selection of other consultants such as designers and engineers.
  • The condition of an existing building.


Having decided to proceed with a project we can:

  • Prepare design sketches and drawings.
  • Advise on project costs and timetable.
  • Prepare specifications of work and contract documents.
  • Submit local authority applications.
  • Advise on legislative issues.
  • Suggest procurement routes, appropriate forms of contract and advise on tender lists.
  • Obtain prices for the work.


Once the project has started on site, we will administer the contract to ensure that the project is delivered on time, on cost and to the required quality. Our experience in this field includes barn conversions, repairs to commercial properties and office and shop fit outs with projects ranging between £10,000- £500,000 in value.
