Stace

What Stace does

Stace LLP is a UK-based property and construction consultancy founded in 1959 and structured as a Limited Liability Partnership with 25 Partners and over 200 professionals across five offices (London headquarters, Birmingham, Cambridge, Epping, and Leeds). The firm delivers multidisciplinary construction consultancy services — Project Management, Cost Management, Building Surveying, Health, Safety & CDM advisory, Contract Administration & Employer's Agent, Building Safety Services, Monitoring Surveying & Due Diligence, Party Wall, and Framework procurement — across 14 specialist sectors including Healthcare, Education, Hotels, Industrial, Life Sciences, Offices & Commercial, Residential, Student Accommodation, Retail, Culture & Heritage, Regeneration/Infrastructure/Public Realm, Public Sector & Local Government, Leisure, and Sport.

Stace generates revenue through fee-based professional services engagements with private developers, landowners, commercial property companies, and public sector bodies (NHS Foundation Trusts, local authorities, educational institutions, and government organisations). Engagement size ranges from £1 million to £200 million+, and the firm operates predominantly through long-term framework agreements and multi-phase masterplans — evidenced by a 20+ year relationship with Quintain on the Wembley Park transformation, a JV with Places for People and Balfour Beatty Investments for East Wick & Sweetwater, and framework partnerships with Imperial College London, the Victoria & Albert Museum, and London Borough of Enfield. Its work has been recognised via RIBA, RICS, CIBSE, and Architects' Journal awards, and the firm holds ISO 9001:2015 accreditation plus credentials on BREEAM, WELL, and WiredScore-rated projects. Beyond core services, Stace publishes the proprietary Stace Outlook Index, a quarterly research publication offering UK economic updates and Tender Price Index forecasts to reinforce brand authority in the marketplace.
