Accel Consulting Limited
Brighton
20 Southwick Street, Southwick, Brighton, East Sussex, BN42 4TB, Brighton
Led by Gavin Chatfield (RICS since 1986), we are Sussex’s straight-talking multi-disciplinary experts. From £17m riverside developments to flood defences, we combine Quantity Surveying, Project Management, and Architectural Design with a 26-year track record of zero claims.
We believe that property development shouldn't be complicated. Since 1999, Accel Consulting has provided a straight-talking, straightforward approach to construction and development across East and West Sussex.
Our philosophy is built on the principles of mutual trust and business balance. We don't believe in "cosy" relationships, but we do believe in robust partnerships that deliver results. Whether you are an investor looking at a brownfield residential site or a stakeholder in a major community infrastructure project, we provide the steady hand and technical expertise required to see a project from inception to the end of the defects period.
A Multi-Disciplinary Team Under One Roof
Operating from our Grade 2 Listed offices near Shoreham Harbour, we have assembled a powerhouse of in-house talent. We aren't just surveyors; we are a collective of Project Managers, Architectural Designers, and CAD Technicians.
This multi-disciplinary setup allows us to be incredibly agile. We provide a seamless transition between design, cost control, and on-site management, ensuring that nothing is lost in translation between different consultants.
Why Sussex Developers Trust Us
We know the Sussex landscape because we live and work here. Our track record speaks for itself, but here are the concrete reasons our clients stay with us for decades:
- Unrivalled Experience: Every member of our senior staff has over 25 years of relevant experience.
- Proven Reliability: In 26 years of operation, we have received zero formal complaints and have never been subject to a Professional Indemnity claim.
- Staff Continuity: Our core team has been with us for over 10 years, providing a level of consistency that is rare in the construction industry.
- RICS Regulated: Led by Gavin Chatfield, a Chartered Quantity Surveyor since 1986, we maintain the highest professional standards.
Specialists in Construction Management (CM)
While we remain a traditional Quantity Surveying practice at heart, we have spent the last decade specialising in the JCT Construction Management route. This is a pragmatic procurement option for clients who want to stay close to the action or require maximum design and programme flexibility. It offers a level of control that traditional procurement simply cannot match.
Our Impact Across the South Coast
We take pride in the diversity and scale of the projects we deliver. Our portfolio ranges from complex civil engineering to high-end residential builds:
| Project | Location | Scope |
|---|---|---|

| Flood Defences | Shoreham | 110m Sheet Piled River Wall |
