Akerlof

As we sign off, we want to thank all our clients, partners, and collaborators for your incredible support this year. Wishing you all a Happy Christmas!! We hope you manage to relax, recharge, and enjoy the break, and we look forward to working with you in 2025.

The UK Government is aiming to deliver the biggest boost in social and affordable housebuilding in a generation, presenting a hugely difficult task for Local and Combined Authorities. Bringing together research conducted for several Combined Authorities, including West Yorkshire Combined Authority, Greater Manchester Combined Authority, West Midlands Combined Authority South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, and Tees Valley Combined Authority, our strategic action plan is designed to support Combined Authorities to develop effective housing strategies, accelerate delivery, and align development with broader regional priorities: https://lnkd.in/eNusSCxN #GetBritainBuilding #NewHomesinNewWays Homes England Housing Festival Offsite Alliance Make UK

Our Partner, Rob Littlewood, talks to Kreo about how their digital tool is changing the way projects can be delivered: https://lnkd.in/dWPts9XH

Our partners don’t just show up for the pitch - you'll see them deliver. With us, expertise isn’t delegated. Our Cost Management Partners stay hands-on..... whether you want to see them or not. #quantitysurveyor

The debate about working from home or the office… Our cost management team understand there’s a third option. Not your average QS. #quantitysurveyor

We encouraged our cost management team to perhaps open up a bit... Another decision we now regret. Read about some of their work here: https://lnkd.in/e_bTvvfr ...it’s a lot more interesting than their weekends.

Can we create environments where everyone can thrive? We've come a long way, but there’s still much to do to build a truly inclusive sector. While I usually contribute a social impact lens to white papers like this, Rumpus | B Corp Certified invited me to bring a different perspective this time, and as a fellow #BCorp, we were happy to help. In this paper, I share a little about Akerlof’s journey as an SME committed to advancing equity. Balancing a long list of priorities is never easy, but we know we could—and should—do more to address EDI (Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion). Our contribution highlights some of the lessons we've learned along the way. Because whether you’re a large or small organisation, we all have a part to play in shaping a more inclusive industry. If there’s one thing you do today to expand your understanding of EDI, perhaps reading this paper could be it. After all, the key is to keep learning.

Telling you how we commercially optimise client value through end-to-end cost management sounds a bit dry. So we asked our cost management team for something a bit lighter... We should have seen it coming. To learn about what they actually do, you’re probably better reading here: https://lnkd.in/e_bTvvfr #CostConsultancy #quantitysurveyor

We asked our cost management team to promote one of their case studies and showcase their advice for funders, developers, or supply chain partners. Unfortunately, they take client discretion very seriously. #CostConsultancy #quantitysurveyor

We asked our cost management team to advertise one of their strengths... It would appear some habits are hard to break. #CostConsultancy #QuantitySurveyor
