Commercial Project Consultancy


At Simon Brien, our team of Chartered Surveyors bring hands-on experience to managing and delivering complex commercial development and investment projects on behalf of clients. We work seamlessly with a trusted network of associate professionals across design, engineering, cost consultancy, and construction – forming a best-in-class team tailored to each project’s needs. From initial concept through to completion, we focus on delivering high standards, controlling costs, and maximising returns.

Our goal is simple - to create value at every stage – by delivering projects that are completed to the highest standards, at the lowest cost and with the greatest return possible. We do that by approaching the project in three specific phases:

  • Define Objectives
    We work closely with clients to understand their goals. If a site is secured, we assess its planning and commercial potential. If not, we’ll find one – sourcing, negotiating and acquiring the right opportunity.
  • Assemble the Team
    We bring together trusted experts across planning, design, engineering and construction. Acting as your lead advisor, we manage the process and ensure the final scheme is commercially viable and market ready.
  • Deliver the Project
    From tendering through to completion, we oversee delivery, working with your project team to keep things on time, on budget and aligned to your goals.

Commercial Project Monitoring


Project Monitoring is distinct from both project management and construction monitoring, and can be defined as: Protecting the Client's interests by identifying and advising on the risks associated with acquiring an interest in a development that is not under the Client's direct control.

Simon Brien’s Project Monitoring is carried out on behalf of a range of alternative client types including, for example:

  • A funding institution, which will acquire the scheme as an investment upon completion.
  • A tenant or purchaser which enters into a commitment to lease or purchase a property upon completion.
  • A Bank or other development finance company where a loan matures at the end of the development period.
  • Grant funders.
  • Private finance initiative funders and end users.

While the developer leads the design, construction, and delivery, a Project Monitor acts independently to safeguard the client’s interests – without replacing the developer’s responsibilities. The Project Monitor’s role is to investigate, advise, and report. They provide objective, expert insight into the risks, progress, and performance of the development team. This independent oversight gives clients a vital risk management tool – ensuring transparency, accountability, and confidence from start to finish.
