Services from feasibility to final account
Working with architects
We fit around your RIBA stages, refer all design back to you and are appointed by your client – so fees and responsibilities are clear. When you're contract administrator, we value and you certify.
Finance brokers →Specialist experience
Commercial-to-residential & Class MA
Office, retail and mixed-use conversions, including Class MA screening, conversion costs and maximum bid.
Class MA & conversions →HMOs & mixed-use
Cost plans and appraisals for HMO and mixed-use schemes, where layouts and compliance drive the cost.
We never design and we never build. Our only job is the numbers, so our advice is independent.

No. Class MA conversions are one of our specialisms. We provide cost planning, procurement and commercial management on residential, conversion, HMO and mixed-use schemes at every RIBA stage.
Usually the client, on the architect's introduction. That keeps fees and responsibilities clear, and we always refer design back to the architect.
All of them from Stage 0 to Stage 6: early cost advice, cost plans and value engineering, tender documents and analysis, monthly valuations and the final account. You can appoint us for one stage or all of them.
Each service has a fixed fee agreed before we start. Monthly services have a fixed fee with capped days. Our fee never depends on whether you buy or proceed.
Yes, for you as the developer. We prepare the cost plan, cashflow and monthly drawdown requests and deal with the lender's monitoring surveyor. We never act for the lender on a scheme where we act for you.
No. Our reports are development appraisals and cost advice, not RICS Red Book valuations. Your lender will commission its own valuation.
Mainly London, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire and the wider South East. Desktop work such as a Bid Check can be done anywhere in England.
