Extensive Experience
These projects require more than technical knowledge alone. Successful delivery depends on careful coordination of cost, programme, procurement and stakeholder management from the outset.

Increasingly, refurbishment and retrofit also play an important role in reducing embodied carbon and extending the life of existing assets. We help clients balance heritage, sustainability and commercial viability while maintaining certainty on cost, programme and project risk.

In relation to the quantum experts, both are experienced quantity surveyors with experience of litigation. I much preferred the approach of Mr Hunter which was pragmatic and down to earth.
