Our Expertise and Focus

Project Management

From conception to completion, developing your brief, selecting a design team, managing potential construction risks, and delivering on time and budget.

Project Monitoring

A watching brief or a bird’s eye view of the project acting as support to an existing client team and overseeing the development program with one eye on long-term Estate Management implications for running the property.

Time is of the Essence

We specialise in mission-critical projects where each day of disruption or lost trade is lost revenue for our clients. However, passing this risk down the line to a building contractor if fraught with problems leads to increased tender prices. We help to balance the risk and make time in the program for value engineering.

Value for Money

Oscar Wilde once wrote that a cynic was a man ‘who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing’. We apply this theory to each project to ensure clients get value for money. The building or development has to work for the client and answer their business and investment needs for the use of the premises and the duration of the lease and the lifespan of their investment.

Our fourth office move with SW1 Surveyors, over 20 years, smooth every time.
