ABOUT
Our Vision, Values and Behaviours
Our vision is very simple in that we wish to build sustainable futures for our people and our clients. It is our values and behaviours that make us an employer and consultant of choice and underpins our core strategy of evolution and growth. Our People We put people at the heart of our vision, as it’s their talents that ultimately enable us to reach our goals.
We invest time in people to give them the skills and knowledge to deliver excellence to our clients and to realise their full potential. By empowering our people and giving them self-belief, we enhance our talent pipeline, which is the key to succession and, ultimately, securing the future of RLF. Our Clients Spending time understanding our clients’ business and project needs and building strong and enduring relationships is at the core of our ethos. We strive to develop and deliver the optimum solution on every project, giving clients confidence to continue to work with us.
With a focus on the end goal, we positively influence the quality of the outcome on every project, thereby protecting and giving our clients a sustainable investment for the future.
“RLF is an independently owned Partnership, which conducts itself with integrity, shows respect, and aims to work in collaboration with our people and our clients”.
Building Futures for the next generation.
The increasingly buoyant market across the UK is presenting both opportunities and challenges. Business is better, but costs are rising and industry capacity is tightening. Against this backdrop project managers must take the time to really understand client and project objectives and then use their experience, connections, commercial insight and leadership skills to bring them to fruition.
RLF’s project managers are highly qualified and richly experienced; all worked in construction, engineering, design or surveying before pursuing their project management career. As a multidisciplinary provider we are able to offer the benefits of independent project management when that is required, or a broader choice of services where the efficiencies and simplicity this brings are more important. Either way, RLF’s employee ownership structure means our decisions are made for the benefits of our clients and staff, not external shareholders.
We develop long term relationships with our clients, spending concentrated time at the outset of every project to establish a deep understanding of what needs to be achieved. We actively engage with stakeholders to map out the journey, highlighting opportunities and potential pitfalls along the way, and then craft an appropriate delivery strategy and a tailored suite of systems and processes.
Whether we are undertaking a broad strategic project management service stretching from project inception to beyond completion, or providing a more specific employer’s agent role, we pursue our clients’ objectives with relentless focus, managing risks, improving predictability and so delivering with certainty.
This is illustrated in the following selection of our project experience.

RLF SERVICES
Building SurveyingWhen making decisions relating to property investment, development or maintenance, comprehensive and accurate supporting information is essential.
RLF’s team of building surveyors operate across the UK and provide a broad range of investigative and advisory services to property owners, occupiers, investors and developers. These services include advice on party walls and other neighbourly matters, dilapidations, turnkey delivery, planned maintenance, surveys and due diligence.
Capital Allowances& Property TaxationMaking the most of available capital allowances and property tax relief can make a significant contribution to cost savings on both construction projects and property portfolios.
Our capital allowances and property tax team, employ surveyors and specialists who apply their broad understanding of both property and financial matters to advise on the best way to maximise your allowances and tax relief.
Health & SafetyHealth & safety matters present substantial risks to businesses and construction projects, so having the right advisor to guide you through the plethora of regulations and legislation is essential for both legal compliance and risk management.
RLF’s health & safety team provide a full range of CDM compliance support and construction-based health & safety services. Our consultants develop a bespoke approach which balances detailed knowledge of requirements with the pragmatism that comes with experience.

With a dedicated team and a network of regional offices we take a personal approach, forming strong relationships with lenders and their borrowers and developing a deep understanding of their requirements.
