Meadow Drove Business Centre, Meadow Drove, Bourne, Lincolnshire, PE10 0BP, Bourne
Since 1986, we have provided expert Project Management and Quantity Surveying. We are uniquely known for helping landowners maximise returns on Option Agreements by rigorously challenging developer cost assumptions and "abnormal" construction figures to protect your investment.
Protecting Your Interests Since 1986
We are a team of Chartered Surveyors and Project Managers who believe in the power of getting it right the first time. Founded by Lawrence Foote, our practice has spent over three decades building an enviable reputation for being practical, approachable, and fiercely independent. Whether you are a national developer or a private landowner, we provide the technical expertise needed to navigate complex construction and land valuation challenges.
"We share a passion to get it right first time. At the end of every project we review our performance to ensure we are continually improving for our clients."
Maximising Returns on Land Option Agreements
One of our most specialised and sought-after services is helping private landowners navigate the complexities of Option Agreements. When a developer looks to purchase land, the final value is often reduced by "abnormal" construction costs—such as unusual ground conditions or deep foundation requirements.
Developers frequently overestimate these costs to protect their margins. We act as your independent cost consultants to:
- Interrogate developer assumptions: We conduct thorough cost analyses to ensure figures are realistic.
- Negotiate better value: We consistently achieve significant increases in the final Open Market Value for our clients.
- Expert Witness support: We can act as expert witnesses if cases proceed to independent determination.
Comprehensive Project & Cost Management
From major residential developments like Aurum Green in Basingstoke to new industrial units in Sevenoaks, we provide the steady hand required to deliver projects on time and within budget. Our approach to Quantity Surveying is rooted in risk control and value engineering. We don't just report on costs; we identify potential problems before they arise and provide innovative solutions to keep your project moving.
