About / Team

James Drysdale
Associate

I work within the Heritage, Sports, and Culture sectors, delivering cost consultancy services across a diverse portfolio of iconic and high-profile projects. With past projects including stadiums, arenas, and landmark cultural institutions – project values ranging from £1m to £500m+.

I consistently apply Core Five’s values through transparency and timely cost reporting, working proactively with project teams, and tailoring communication to suit each client’s unique needs through the project lifecycle.

Since joining Core Five in 2018, I have accumulated over 7 years of industry experience, working across projects in the UK, Europe, and the Middle East, gaining Chartered Status with the RICS in 2021. Through my experience I have found specialism in projects within the heritage, cultural, and sports sectors, with a strong focus on complex projects and large-scale entertainment venues. Key Clientele include Premier League Clubs, leading live entertainment company Live Nation, and the Royal Academy of Arts.

Beyond project work, I contribute to Core Five’s internal and external communications through active participation in the Communications Working Group. This role enables me to support the firm’s brand presence and foster consistent messaging across platforms. My commitment to clarity of messaging, and client-focused delivery underpins my approach to work both externally and internally.

What is the most rewarding part of your role at Core Five?

Facilitating the architectural design and informing decision-making in order to deliver the best value to Clients.

What is your favourite building and why?

Maison de Verre by Pierre Chareau, because of its influence on contemporary architecture.
