Faithful+Gould has extensive experience in providing construction cost management, construction project management and construction consultancy services to clients in the financial, banking and professional services sectors. Our experience covers corporate banking, retail banking and fund monitoring. 

By establishing design guides and uniformity in supply chains, we help our clients generate value in key non customer facing operations such as cash centres, data centres and disaster recovery centres.

With experience from shell and core developments to complex fit outs and refurbishments, we're helping shape the way new developments progress from concept to completion. We can deliver expertise in masterplanning, infrastructure and transport, as well as cost modelling value engineered solutions.

For city centre developments we provide cost and programme solutions addressing the particular challenges of brownfield and landlocked sites.

For occupiers, we control fast track and complex fit out projects to ensure smooth office moves and relocations.

Our experience in the defence sector includes:

Aircraft hangars, living accommodation, fuel pipeline and storage installations, pilot training facilities, medical and dental facilities, offices, and laboratories.

We also offer advice on refurbishment projects, whole site rationalisations, runway and taxiway improvements, bridges, roadways, offices and laboratories. Services include risk management and whole life costing, in addition to more traditional construction cost consulting services.

Education is one of the construction industry’s most dynamic, challenging and satisfying sectors.

Our experience extends through nursery, primary and secondary schools, academies and free schools and includes extensive involvement in the Building Schools for the Future programme. We are extremely active in the further and higher education sectors, advising colleges and universities across the UK.

We have advised central government on the cost of building to different levels of sustainability, and our guidance informs the levels of funding available for school buildings.

We provide services to both central and local government, from high level strategy and policy support to delivery of individual projects, utilising a full spectrum of procurement routes.

Our understanding of the public arena complements our private sector knowledge to provide a service which adds an extra dimension to the norm.

Sustainability and BREEAM Assessments: With the introduction of BREEAM Healthcare our team of accredited assessors advise and report on current and forecasted premises performance, utilising our unique construction carbon calculator.

We have a wealth of experience in all aspects of the leisure sector.

We have knowledge and experience of the requirements for hotel, bar and restaurant, casino and health and fitness development projects - which is vital to ensure effective construction project management and cost control during the whole development process.

Services include: Programming, specialist contract advice, risk and value management, asset management and whole life costing.

Mixed use developments typically present a range of construction and financial challenges associated with the need to balance the requirements of residential and commercial premises. Frequently such developments also utilise existing buildings, such as large industrial units, potentially adding further to complexity. Drawing on long experience in the public and private sectors, and our broad skill set, we are uniquely equipped to help steer such projects to successful completion.

The regeneration of our cities has become a prime focus for sustainable development activity calling for a complex blend of skills, combining masterplanning expertise with detailed knowledge of project funding, the political ‘climate’ and the drivers and constraints which affect both public and private sector bodies.

We are able to draw on vast experience across a remarkably diverse range of projects, and encompassing some of the country’s most challenging regeneration schemes, to ensure efficient delivery of the massive projects which are transforming our urban environments.

The residential housing sector poses its own unique challenges, calling for management solutions to be carefully tailored to each new commission.

Our experienced teams provide consultancy services to private developers, registered social landlords and local authorities throughout the UK.

We have in-depth knowledge of traditional, stock transfer, Arms Length Management Organisation (ALMO) and Private Finance Initiative (PFI) driven projects.

We lead the way in the delivery of retail developments. Experience includes individual shop units, refurbishments and major new developments.
