FAQ
What types of projects do you work on?
We work across leisure, health and fitness, hotels, commercial and modular construction from single-site fit-outs to complex multi-site programmes. If it needs building, managing or costing, we’ve probably done something similar.
Do you work across the UK?
Yes. We're based in London but work on projects nationwide - including multi-site programmes for clients rolling out across multiple locations simultaneously.
What does independent mean for us as a client?
It means we work solely in your interest. We're not tied to any contractor, developer or lender - so our advice is always impartial, whether we're managing your project or reporting to your bank.
What is cost consultancy?
Cost consultancy - sometimes called quantity surveying - is about understanding and controlling the financial side of a project. We get involved from your earliest feasibility stage, helping you establish whether a scheme is viable, planning costs accurately, managing procurement, and keeping a close eye on the numbers through to completion. The goal is simple: no surprises.
We're rolling out multiple padel venues across the UK - can you manage that?
Yes - it's exactly the kind of programme we're set up for. We're currently managing multiple padel venues simultaneously for clients doing precisely that. Multi-site rollouts require tight coordination, consistent standards across every location, and someone keeping a close eye on cost and programme at each stage. That's what we do.
We're opening new gym sites in commercial developments - where do you fit in?
We've been working with gym operators in commercial developments for over 20 years - from early cost planning and procurement through to fit-out completion. We understand the sector, the timelines, and the pressures that come with expanding at pace. Whether it's one site or twenty, we make sure each one is delivered on time, on budget, and to the standard your members expect.
How do we get started?
Get in touch. We'll have a straightforward conversation about your project, what you need, and whether we're the right fit. No obligation.
