Our Services
Cost
Management
Cost certainty is crucial to project
success. Independent, informed
advice is required to establish the
right budget, select an appropriate
procurement route and then to
rigorously control costs through
delivery.
Cost management is at the heart of
RLF’s business; our team is highly
experienced, commercially astute
and enviably well-connected.
They can provide clear advice and
management on both local values,
costs and market, and on national
benchmarks, from project inception
through to the final account.
Project
Management
As costs rise and industry capacity
tightens in an improving market,
project managers must take the
time to really understand client and
project objectives and then use their
experience, connections, commercial
insight and leadership skills to bring
them to fruition.
RLF’s project managers are well
qualified and richly experienced; all
worked in construction, engineering,
design or surveying before pursuing
their project management career.
We are able to offer the benefits of
independent project management
or a broader choice of services where
the efficiencies and simplicity this
brings are important.
Health
& Safety
Health & safety matters present
substantial risks to businesses and
construction projects, so having the
right advisor to guide you through
the plethora of regulations and
legislation is essential for both legal
compliance and risk management.
RLF’s health & safety team provide
a full range of construction-based
health & safety services. Our
consultants develop a bespoke
approach which balances detailed
knowledge of requirements with
the pragmatism that comes
with experience.

Employer’s Agent & Cost Manager
An 81 bedroom, new build concrete panel framed elderly/
dementia care home on the site of a former care home. The
building has four floors, each operating as a separate unit.
The lower ground and ground floors contain a total of 41
elderly care bedrooms with the first floor containing 27 units.
The care home also includes a penthouse floor, containing 13
elderly care bedrooms.
When making decisions relating to
property investment, development
or maintenance, comprehensive and
accurate supporting information
is essential.
RLF’s team of building surveyors
operate across the UK and provide
a broad range of investigative and
advisory services to property owners,
occupiers, investors and developers.
These services include advice on
party walls and other neighbourly
matters, dilapidations, turnkey
delivery, planned maintenance,
surveys and due diligence.
Clients who are looking for greater
flexibility and control over programme
efficiency, quality and construction
risks, may consider a consultancy
approach to a directly managed
construction delivery through
Construction Management. This
requires the whole team to actively
‘manage’ the risks associated with the
construction process (that are retained
by the client) to maximise flexibility,
adaptability and opportunity for the
benefit of the client.
RLF can support this delivery either
through strategic consultancy, direct
structuring of a construction
management delivery team or
provision of construction consultancy
professionals to enhance a client’s
own in-house delivery capability.
Development is fraught with risk,
so lenders want to make sure
they invest wisely and that their
investments are protected. RLF
have a nationwide team which
provides monitoring services to
banks and other investors to assist
in the reduction of these risks.
With a dedicated team and
a network of regional offices
we take a personal approach,
forming strong relationships with
lenders and their borrowers and
developing a deep understanding
of their requirements..
