Jones Hargreaves

What Jones Hargreaves does

Jones Hargreaves LLP is an independent UK commercial building, project and sustainability consultancy founded in 2009 and structured as a partnership (Jones Hargreaves LLP). The firm employs 11-50 professionals across seven regional offices in London, Leeds, Cardiff, Bristol, Manchester, Glasgow and Birmingham, providing true national coverage of England, Wales and Scotland with selected worldwide mandates for overseas investors.

Its core offering spans six professional service lines: building consultancy (technical due diligence, dilapidations, planned preventative maintenance, building surveys, party wall, reinstatement cost assessments); project services and contract administration (£10k to £50m project range); architectural design; building services engineering (MEPH); and a dedicated ESG division covering BREEAM, Fitwel, SKA, NABERS UK and Wired Score certification, EPCs, asset decarbonisation/Net Zero roadmapping, energy modelling, ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 auditing, and Phase 1 environmental site assessment. Service capability is extended through a strategic partnership with Newsteer into rights to light, planning, valuation and occupier advisory.

Revenue is generated entirely through fee-based professional services engagements — predominantly technical due diligence, dilapidations and project monitoring for institutional investors, pension funds, banks, property companies, developers, agents/solicitors and occupiers (including retail, logistics and government). Go-to-market is partner-led enterprise field sales with direct engagement of institutional clients and a supporting presence on LinkedIn, X and the firm's own case-study-led website. Pricing is quote-based, project-specific and not publicly disclosed. Named engagements span single-asset acquisitions through to large portfolio mandates (e.g. £282m 97-asset Hayhill Portfolio diligence; 300+ property EPC re-baselining for London & Scottish; 1m+ sq ft biotech facility diligence; 725k sq ft logistics diligence for an international investor).
