Small & mid-sized developers
New build, infill and small schemes where every pound of build cost affects the margin.
Sectors: Residential development
Residential development
Cost plans, appraisals and cost control for new build, conversions and HMOs.
Small and mid-sized residential schemes live or die on the build cost and the margin. We give developers a realistic cost before land is bought, a lender-ready appraisal when funding is needed, a fair contractor tender, and control of the cost through to completion – all signed off by a chartered quantity surveyor.
Who it's for
Investors & HMO landlords
Conversions, HMOs and refurbishments that need a budget and a contractor price you can trust.
Self-builders & private clients
One-off homes and major refurbishments where a fixed budget matters.
