3 RLF 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. Building Futures 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 CDM compliance support and construction-based health & safety services. Our consultants develop a bespoke approach which balances detailed knowledge of requirements with the pragmatism that comes with experience. Building Surveying 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. Capital Allowances & Property Taxation Making the most of available capital allowances and property tax relief can make a significant contribution to cost savings on both construction projects and property portfolios. Our capital allowances and property tax team, employ surveyors and specialists who apply their broad understanding of both property and financial matters to advise on the best way to maximise your allowances and tax relief. Bank & Fund Monitoring 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.
