We pride ourselves on the hands-on leadership and guidance we offer, from pre-commencement to completion.

Quantity Surveying

The quantity surveying team’s strengths lie in their diverse backgrounds within client organisations, professional practice and contracting. This breadth of exposure enables us to offer broad skillsets and experience on all projects across our sectors.

Our technical administration department provides additional support to the surveying team, ensuring the work produced is issued promptly and of the highest quality.

With our team’s collective industry expertise, combined with a wealth of benchmarking data we acquire from our live projects, we can provide our clients with recommendations that accurately align with the changing business landscape.

In addition, we have access to RICS Membership, BCIS data, CostX measurement software and JCT online, whilst actively supporting quantity surveying apprenticeships with Nottingham Trent University, allowing us to continue onboarding new talent for the future of construction.

Employer’s Agent

As employer’s agent, we ensure the project is structured correctly and that the investment value of the scheme is protected. As well as representing our client, we will administer the contract and complete all appointments, warranties, and other key legal documents, alongside organising, chairing, and recording meetings / key events.

We are there to support, advise and organise our clients. Depending on the requirement the role will be fulfilled by one of our senior project managers or project surveyors, with backup support from the wider technical team.

Principal Designer

As a business, we have invested heavily in training key members of the project management team as principal designers. As members of the APS, Association for Project Safety, we are competent in influencing how risks to health and safety are managed throughout the project.

When appointed as project managers on a scheme, we can extend our appointment to include principal designers where required.

We understand our client’s requirements, working seamlessly to provide proactive advice on a range of technical issues, including acquisition surveys and fund monitoring reporting, technical due diligence, landlord and tenant dilapidations claims, planned preventative maintenance, party wall matters, together with building refurbishment and fit out project management and contract administration services for projects of all shapes and sizes.

Data Analysis

Our team regularly extract cost information from our current projects based on the contract data, which allows us to highlight trends and gain a clearer picture of projections and averages based on £sq. ft GIA, and provide a percentage breakdown of costs based on the different elements of the build.

With around 8 million sq. ft analysed so far and a combined job value of £0.5 billion, we have provided cost advice on a wide variety of building types ranging from £100k to £100m, and everything in between.

This insight helps our precision with cost analysis by using the real-time data we harvest.

WITH THE BUSINESS LANDSCAPE CONSTANTLY CHANGING, WE UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF PROVIDING OUR CLIENTS WITH ACCURATE COST PROJECTIONS

ADDITIONAL SERVICES

Life-Cycle Costing (LCC) and Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the analysis of the potential environmental impacts of our building elements during their life cycle. LCA and LCC are rapidly becoming the standard method for the long-term cost appraisal of buildings and civil infrastructure projects. Demonstrating the value for money and environmental impact over the long term is an essential tool our team can offer for those involved in the design, construction, operation, and risk analysis of construction projects.

Quality Monitoring

We recognise the importance of quality when it comes to building. That’s why we have a mix of experts, many with building surveying and on-site backgrounds, who are placed to provide a constructive view on the quality and appropriateness of your built asset as the works progress.

Sector overview

Occupier Sector

Customer requirements and operational needs can change over time, and therefore buildings may require a fit-out to meet the new needs of their occupier. We have successfully delivered ‘full turnkey’ projects for our clients due to our flexible approach and understanding of programme and budget constraints that may be associated.

We work closely with the occupier to establish project deliverables and key milestones to be achieved, whilst working collaboratively with the wider team to maximise the area available to ensure it fulfils the brief.

Fit-Out works to Unit 4 for LG Electronics UK Ltd

Grovebury Road, Leighton Buzzard

£609,000

8 weeks

LG Electronics Ltd had a lease event within their existing building in Milton Keynes. Operationally their warranty and repair facility had out grown their existing building.

Having secured a pre-let on a new building in Leighton Buzzard, LG needed a rapid fit-out of the new building to provide a turnkey solution to allow operations to be moved over a single weekend to limit impact.

LG did not want to hold over their lease in the existing building, so a fixed completion date was set for a rapid fit-out of the new building.

LG Electronics successfully relocated on time, in budget and exited their existing building lease on time.

Bedford Girls’ School, Sixth Form Common Room and Café Refurbishment Project

The Harpur Trust

The spaces were converted back in 2005 and were in need of a refresh as the common room had slowly developed into an uninspiring corridor. The area itself felt dark with a miss match of furniture and fittings, and little connection to the inner garden courtyard. The café was underutilised due to a lack of cooking facilities, with students preferring to use local shops for lunch. We developed the brief with the school with these key design drivers in mind

Jean-Marc

Cardington Road, Bedford

We had a strict project limit of £550,000 including fees, planning costs, equipment, furniture, building works and VAT

We had the 6 weeks during the summer break to deliver the scheme

The post-pandemic economy was a serious consideration on this scheme, and the team had concerns about furniture and equipment availability, along with contractor interest and availability. Therefore, we brought in specialist furniture and catering advisors and recommended early contractor involvement from October 2021. We also advised on placing orders for the furniture, café servery, equipment and bifold doors at the earliest opportunity. The sector demanded negotiation, and the school managed to gain agreement from the charity board. Securing this flexibility was a key decision in the successful delivery of this scheme.

A short delivery programme is always a key consideration on school projects, so we arranged for the asbestos, structural and services inspections during the half-term break.

One of the most important aspects was that the project cost was immovable on this scheme and therefore our estimating, contractor negotiation and postcontract cost control had to be accurate. Due to our team’s efforts, the project came in just under budget and, most importantly, met the client’s brief fully.

“I like working with professionals like Goodrich Consulting. The project was very well managed.”
