I had the pleasure of being introduced to Stewart part way through the construction phase of my 18,000 sq/ft house on the Wentworth Estate, when the project was in urgent need of a safe pair of hands to guide me through the complexities of getting the house finished at a very critical stage. I was asking Stewart to inherit an extremely difficult and complex set of circumstances especially when none of the issues had been created by him and I had no certainty on the amount of time or cost to finish the work. However, after only 2 weeks of thoroughly looking through all the project information, some of which was not complete, Stewart had collated a report that advised the correct timeframe and budget that remained for the project. This proved to be invaluable at the time. Managing a bespoke house of this type part way through took a high degree of skill and application in navigating the existing consultants and supply chain as well as introducing new suppliers, providing the project the level of experience which was required. Stewart was thoroughly dedicated throughout, often going above and beyond to ensure the build reached a successful conclusion. Just as important, and often ignored when you start a project, he remained a constant source of support after the completion of the construction phase and prior to the sale of the property. I can’t speak highly enough of his work ethic, negotiation skills and execution in providing financial accuracy under highly challenging circumstances. I simply would not have finished my house without Stewart and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to build their own luxury property.

Stewart has worked for me for nearly 6 years as a quantity surveyor on two property developments in St Georges Hill with a combined area of 30,000 sq/ft.

The first development was incredibly challenging as he had to come in half way through the project when the original developer went into administration so he was required to quickly navigate a complicated financial situation to assist with getting the project back on track. This process required a high level of skill and expertise throughout.

The second development was a large new build property 14,200 sq/ft with a significant basement construction.

During both projects Stewart had to liaise and deal with the extensive procurement supply chain, co-ordinate consultants and work closely with the bank monitoring surveyor for monthly drawdowns.

Stewart built strong relationships with all parties he dealt with and was meticulous in managing the cost aspects of the project which can rapidly get out of control.

He is a reliable, efficient, professional and above all trustworthy individual. Stewart’s honesty and integrity is beyond reproach and working with him was a pleasure.

I have no hesitation in recommending Stewart to facilitate and support any property development project.

I have had the pleasure of working with Stewart and his team over the past 6 years and I can’t speak highly enough about his dedicated work ethic, level of financial detail and impeccable attitude towards the many challenges we face at the top end of the construction industry.

During this time Stewart has helped my business grow into one of the leading luxury house developers in Surrey and his help and support has been invaluable. Over the years we have worked together on some very prestigious projects that have required a high level of skill and experience for our clients.

Stewart operates with a solutions based attitude and always establishes an excellent relationship with our clients and supply chain which is essential in delivering high end luxury developments.

Stewart was consistently professional, knowledgeable, client focused and responsive throughout our project. He managed our expectations incredibly well from the outset in terms of delivery time and costs. He also remained positive and cheerful from beginning to end, which was invaluable at certain points in time. Our 9,000 sq/ft refurbishment project included excavating a large 3,500 sq/ft basement under the footprint of the existing house. The project was also partially carried out during the Covid period, and despite this, Stewart and the team completed it in 2 years, which was a result of his drive and determination. Incredibly, he managed to achieve a saving for us in excess of £1m. This was made possible due to his QS background and expertise, his contacts and experience in the luxury residential market, the way in which the contracts with the main-contractor and other service providers were structured, and his drive to get the most value for money for our project. In doing so, there was no compromise on the highest standards and the finish of the house.

Stewart was also clear with us at every stage about which decisions needed to be made and by what date, so that we avoided any undue stress or delay during the project. His relationships with the many other involved parties were very strong, which again helped keep the project moving forward and to ensure that teamwork remained a positive feature and contributor to the project.
