The practice
An independent chartered consultancy in the North East of England, owner-led by Dave Lovatt. Five chartered memberships sit behind every output. Every engagement letter, every cost plan, every site report carries the principal's signature.
The principal
MRICS · MCIOB · MQSI · FACQP · MiConstM. Surveying, building, cost, quality, construction management. Every output carries that stack.
The person you speak with on day one is the person who signs the final account. No junior associate handling your matter.
Through our sister practice 1 Oak Projects (Design · Build · Manage, open-book), clients can take a brief from sketch design through to handover under chartered oversight. Independent QS leads procurement.
The standard we work to
A cost plan that reads at element level, with workings on every line.
An engagement letter signed by the principal, with the scope and the fee on the same page.
A site report that lands the same day, with the figures that matter on the front page.
A final account that is regularly forecast and maintained.
