Appleyard & Trew LLP

Building Trust Through Precision Since 1969

We believe that every detail matters. For over five decades, Appleyard and Trew has been at the forefront of the UK construction industry, providing expert cost consultancy, project management, and building surveying. Our journey began as a partnership of quantity surveyors founded by Mike Appleyard and Ian Trew, and while we have grown into a multi-disciplinary firm, our core values of integrity and client-centred service remain unchanged.

Why Our Partner-Led Approach Matters to You

Unlike many large firms, we are owned entirely by our Partners. We have no external shareholders to answer to, which means our only priority is the success of your project. When you hire us, you get direct access to a Partner who personally leads your project, supported by a specialist team of chartered surveyors. This ensures high-level decision-making and innovative problem-solving from start to finish.

Whether you are developing luxury residential properties, restoring a Grade II listed heritage site, or delivering a multi-million pound sports facility, we have the specific expertise required. Our portfolio includes:

• Heritage & Conservation: Transforming historic landmarks like the Ashton Old Baths into modern workspaces.
• Luxury & Residential: Delivering high-end student living and private residential schemes like Vita Student at Circle Square.
• Public Sector & Education: Managing complex builds like the Sir John Henry Building for Cardinal Newman College.
• Leisure & Sport: Overseeing iconic projects such as the £35 million Coventry waterpark.

Our National Reach and Local Expertise

"Our reputation is built on the most solid foundation of all: Trust. We work proactively to identify challenges before they arise, ensuring your project adds sustainable value to the community."
