Your construction cost partner
Torridon Cost Consultancy is an RICS-regulated quantity surveying and construction cost consultancy based in Edinburgh, delivering independent commercial and construction cost advice on refurbishment, retrofit, fit-out and development projects across Scotland and the wider UK. We specialise in existing buildings and complex commercial schemes, with particular experience in office refurbishment, commercial office fit-out, building retrofit and decarbonisation, as well as the conversion and redevelopment of existing properties.
Our quantity surveying and cost consultancy services extend throughout the full project lifecycle, beginning with feasibility and option appraisal and continuing through design development, procurement, construction and final account. We provide feasibility cost estimates, cost planning, construction cost estimating, cost management and reporting, value engineering, procurement advice, tender strategy, tender documentation, tender analysis, contract administration, interim valuations, variation assessment and final account negotiations. We recognise that refurbishment and retrofit projects involve uncertainty, existing fabric and services, phasing, occupied environments and risks that may not be immediately evident. Working with clients, architects, project managers, engineers and contractors, we identify and manage these challenges while maintaining budgetary control. Our independent, straightforward and commercially focused approach provides experienced Director-level involvement and clear advice, helping clients achieve greater clarity, certainty and confidence.
