We provide world-class Cost Consultancy and Employer’s Agent services to market leading Clients in London, the UK and overseas.

Since our inception in 2012, our aim has been to play our part in the creation of innovative built environments that enrich lives, spark opportunities and move towards a more sustainable world for the next generation.

In 2023, we were proud to become an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). With our Founding Partners still fully committed, we are excited about our new chapter where we are laying the foundations for the next decade – securing independence, broadening ownership and strengthening the leadership team. Moving to an employee-owned business ensures that the management and future strategic plans remain in the hands of all our Team.
