Timms Eida & Associates

We are a modern, forward-thinking construction consultancy that bridges the gap between traditional professional standards and modern project execution. By bringing together the specialized skills of Chartered Quantity Surveyors and Project Managers, we offer our clients a comprehensive service designed to protect their financial interests at every stage of the building process.

Four Decades of Construction Excellence

Our story began over 40 years ago. Since then, we have built a reputation for providing independent and discreet building cost advice. While our roots are in the UK, our portfolio spans the globe—from the Caribbean and the Middle East to Europe and Russia.

Why High-End Homeowners Trust Us

We have a particular passion for high-end residential properties and stately homes. We understand that these projects are not just buildings; they are significant investments and often cherished heritage assets.

Our involvement ensures that construction costs are stringently monitored and value is achieved without compromising on quality. We provide reassurance through:

• Discreet Cost Advice: Tailored for private clients and high-value estates.
• Whole-Life Appraisals: We look beyond the build, providing life cycle cost plans and long-term appraisals.
• Heritage Expertise: Led by Robert Boast, who has decades of experience in the renovation and conservation of large stately homes.

A Unique Blend of Surveying and Legal Insight

What sets us apart is our multidisciplinary approach. Our team includes Robert Boast, who has been a fixture in the industry since 1967, and Rebecca Weare, a former solicitor with extensive experience in dispute resolution.

This legal background is a significant asset for our clients. We don't just count the costs; we provide invaluable support on the contractual side of projects, ensuring that your agreements are robust and your risks are mitigated. Whether you are developing a luxury hotel or restoring a listed building, we provide the strategic planning and detailed execution required to make the project a success.

"Our solutions are based on a complete and thorough understanding of our client’s business and requirements. We work in partnership to achieve practical, measurable benefits."

From Local Schemes to International Landmarks

While we are proud of our international reach, we remain deeply committed to our local projects across the UK, including London, the South Hams in Devon, and the West Country. We treat every commission with the same level of professional rigour, whether it is a small-value local scheme or a major national development.
