Collabora Consulting

We aren't just about the numbers. At Home, we believe that successful construction projects are built on creative thinking, energy, and genuine partnership. Established in 2011, we are an independent practice of RICS-regulated Chartered Quantity Surveyors and Construction Cost Consultants dedicated to helping private clients, developers, and charities navigate the complexities of construction costs.

Over a Century of Combined Industry Wisdom

Our strength lies in our people. Led by co-founders Mathew and Rachel Cribb, our key team members bring over 100 years of combined experience to your project. Mathew himself is a Chartered Quantity Surveyor with three decades of experience, having held senior positions at major firms like Gardiner & Theobald.

When you work with us, you aren't just getting a report; you're getting the insight of veterans like Rob Short (40+ years experience) and the architectural perspective of project managers like Ian Redfern.

Specialist Expertise in Healthcare and Imaging

We have carved out a significant niche in the healthcare sector. We don't just handle standard refurbishments; we specialise in the highly technical requirements of imaging projects, including:

• MRI and CT suites
• X-Ray and PET CT facilities
• Specialist operating theatres

We understand the precision required for these environments and ensure that cost management reflects the technical reality of the build.

Preserving the Past: Listed and Historic Buildings

We have completed large-scale repairs to significant national assets as well as internal remodelling for listed buildings. We work alongside specialists, conservation officers, and local planning authorities to ensure that historic integrity is maintained while meeting modern requirements.

A Collaborative Approach to Cost Management

Whether it is an industrial warehouse, a boutique hotel, or a charity project, we work closely with you from feasibility to completion. We don't just report costs; we manage them through:

1. Feasibility Studies: Using cost analysis and value management to establish realistic budgets.
2. Pre-Construction: Preparing Bills of Quantities, procurement advice, and risk analysis.
3. Construction Phase: Valuations, post-contract cost control, and final account resolution.

"It's not just about the numbers; we're creative thinkers and we bring ideas and energy to all the projects we undertake."
