  • Client Kingston University London
  • Architect Grafton Architects
  • Project Manager Turner & Townsend
  • Services Chapman BDSP
  • Cost Consultant Nigel Hawes, Mark Jennings and Neil Stevens while at Turner & Townsend

So often we find that cost managers take an ultra-cautious approach, which doesn’t really add much value from a client’s perspective. I have valued Mark’s cost advice and been grateful on many occasions for the speed of response. I hope we will have the occasion to work together again.
