SECTOR EXPERTISE
Rider Levett Bucknall works closely with developers, investors and building owners to develop and enhance their commercial buildings.
We specialise in new-build, refurbishment, office fit-out and mixed-use projects and have a track record
of working with some of the sector’s leading speculative developers, portfolio holders and occupiers. We
deliver services for everything from one-off developments to asset management strategies for national
and international property portfolios.
We focus on the key drivers for our customers, whether related to developing a high quality asset which
will provide a successful return for investors or helping to deliver excellent office space which attracts
occupiers and operates effectively throughout the asset’s lifetime.
With an increasing number of clients demanding a healthy mix of team space, collaboration areas, quiet
zones and traditional desks to suit new work practices, we have the expertise to ensure that buildings
and office space are delivered which meet these changing dynamics.
Funding challenges can still exist in commercial property and we also offer services related to due
diligence, ensuring that client investments are protected and a successful project outcome is achieved.
Our approach is underpinned by our wider sector knowledge, including complementary areas such as
residential and retail; which are often key components of mixed-use schemes anchored by commercial
space. Our experts are also active in the sector, holding a range of positions with organisations including
the British Council for Offices (BCO).

OUR CORE SERVICES
Rider Levett Bucknall provides cost consultancy, project management, building surveying and specialist advisory services. Our work across multiple sectors ensures that we can bring best practice to bear on any project.
Quantity surveying / Cost management
Our approach to cost management is one which focuses on the business needs of the customer and
enables them to make informed decisions in relation to their property assets. Our skill in procurement
enables us to develop a strategy that encompasses the most suitable techniques, contracts and risk
analysis to deliver a service tailored to your needs.
In order for our estimates to be as accurate as possible, we have a comprehensive set of cost planning
tools and an extensive database of cost information at our fingertips. Our cost managers have a sharp
commercial edge and a sound understanding of business, honed by working on complex projects for
demanding clients; forging lasting and profitable relationships.
Project management
Our project managers provide a bespoke service that focuses on more than just process. Our team has
a wealth of experience working for private sector clients on projects ranging from small refurbishments
through to large scale new build projects. Our broad range of skills includes strategic project management
of programmes of work, capital project delivery, refurbishment and fit-out works. We recognise that each
customer and each project is unique, reflecting different ambitions, challenges and needs, and we offer a
responsive, hands-on, and flexible service to ensure that projects are delivered to the expected standard.
Building surveying
Our building surveying team has expertise in a range of advisory services including due diligence, asset
condition surveys, including in-house Mechanical and Electrical services, dilapidations, neighbourly
matters and Expert Witness services. The team will assess the efficiency and effectiveness of properties
at any stage of their life. We have the expertise to enhance property performance through changes to
lay-out, rationalisation of property portfolios and alternative uses of buildings. This process leads to
significant cost savings as operational and asset-based efficiencies are introduced.
Health and Safety services
The CDM Regulations 2015 apply to all construction work and impose duties on clients, making them
accountable for the health and safety of those working on or affected by their project. We can help
clients to meet regulations in three ways; act as Principal Designer, managing health and safety for
every aspect of the construction phase; act as Principal Designer Advisor, ensuring that the Principal
Designer appointed is able to carry out their duties and then monitoring progress on the project; or
deliver an Independent Client Advisor role, helping clients to meet CDM duties under the regulations and
monitoring progress and activities of other consultants on the project.

FOCUSED ADVICE FOR THE COMMERCIAL SECTOR
RLB has operated a commercial sector focus for over 20 years. Our team of experts bring passion and innovation to projects and our services are underpinned by the following approaches, aimed at meeting client objectives succesfully.
Value
Our team is fully aware of the relationship between cost, time and location, as well as the ultimate value
of a development to our clients. Our understanding of specification and performance appropriate to
location and current and future trends in occupation, together with our insight and forecasting of market
costs is a significant benefit we provide our clients with.
Pre-acquisition services
RLB provide a co-ordinated service that enables our clients to review and determine the financial and
technical aspects of a potential purchase for investment and development opportunities. We assess the
condition of existing properties, the impact and risk on location (including party walls, title, rights of
light and condition of building services), study potential redevelopment costs and advise upon the likely
programmes for completion and occupation.
Benchmarking
RLB maintain benchmarking cost data for all of our projects and can compare individual elemental costs
against other commercial projects we have undertaken. Our database is populated with information
from our own projects and supplemented by more widely available cost data (e.g. BCIS). Comparison of
anticipated costs against known benchmarks enables a wider review of project costs to be undertaken,
with any significant variations analysed and reviewed.
Fit-out and refurbishment support
We understand that the fit-out of a new or existing property represents a valuable opportunity for an
asset owner to make significant environmental and cost savings. We offer practical support for our
clients refurbishing existing space, from developing an initial concept based on business operational
drivers through to final contract, handover and relocation.
RLB is Lead Partner on the development of the RICS SKA rating tool. Our in-house assessors review
commercial fit-out projects against sustainability focused criteria, to help deliver a more effective asset.
This is increasingly being used as a quicker, lower cost alternative to BREEAM.
Lifecycle costing
Costs can be reduced through a higher performing asset which is designed with the long-term in mind. We
carry out whole life costing with our own in-house tool which integrates capital, energy and carbon costs
into one model and considers; the upfront capital costs of construction, maintenance and repair costs
(including replacement), projected energy usage costs, FM costs and decommissioning and demolition
costs at the end of the assets lifetime.
