LSH’s building consultancy team grows by 20%

Chris Lowther

Property consultancy Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) has bolstered its building consultancy team in Manchester with three new appointments.

The team, which has increased its turnover by a third in the last 12 months, has brought Chris Lowther in as a director and two graduates, Nick Coffey and Tom Smith.

Gayle Taylor, Head of the North West Building Consultancy team comments: “Over the last four years we’ve built up the size of the team to 16, and increased the breadth and strength of expertise we have.  This is being increasingly recognised in the market with both our existing clients and new ones.

“We now have £41m worth of construction projects currently under management, and in excess of £100m of construction works being monitored across the region. We’re not just winning more work but the size, scale and ambitiousness of the projects we’re working on is increasing too, so to maintain a first class level of delivery we’ve strengthened our resource.”

“Chris brings with him a huge amount of experience in technical due diligence which has bolstered the team’s existing capabilities.  His arrival means we’ve got more resource to provide even more commercial advice, and it allows us to leverage more of the follow-on construction work that we’re so well placed to deliver.”

Chris Lowther has 19 years’ experience in commercial property, and joins from Workman LLP.
