Building owners & landlords
Refurbishing or repositioning offices, shops and mixed-use buildings to re-let or sell.
Sectors: Commercial & mixed-use
Commercial & mixed-use
Independent cost advice for refurbishment, repositioning and mixed-use schemes.
Older commercial buildings are being refurbished, repositioned or partly converted rather than rebuilt. That makes cost advice harder: existing structure, services at end of life and mixed uses under one roof. We give owners and developers a clear budget, a fair tender and control of the cost, with the option to test alternative uses along the way.
Who it's for
Developers & investors
Mixed-use schemes combining commercial ground floors with residential above.
Occupiers
Office and commercial fit-outs where the budget needs to be fixed before signing a lease.
