Livemore

What Livemore does

Livemore (legally The Livemore Partnership LLP) is an independent chartered surveying and construction consultancy founded in 1976 and headquartered in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, with additional offices in Central London and (as referenced in mid-2026 website copy) Hanningfield. The practice delivers a multi-disciplinary professional services offering spanning building surveying, architectural design, project management, quantity surveying, party wall services, contract administration, dilapidation and condition surveys, principal designer (CDM) duties, interior design, and programme management. It is staffed by RICS-chartered surveyors, MCIOB- and MAPM-qualified project managers, and Chartered Architectural Technologists, with around 20 named professionals in the directory and a stated headcount of 11-50.

The firm generates revenue on a project-by-project professional services basis, combining fixed-fee and time-charge arrangements typical of UK surveying practices. Its client base is concentrated among large national organisations, with Royal Mail, NHS Southend University Hospital, The Salvation Army, Paddy Power, the Post Office, and Nexus Infrastructure among named logos; Paddy Power alone has generated work on 750+ sites since 2005, while the long-running Westcliff High School engagement has covered £10-15m of capital expenditure since 1996. Livemore operates on a number of framework agreements (Southend University Hospital, Dynamic Purchasing System for Estates, Salvation Army, Anytime Fitness, Royal Mail) and holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, RICS, CHAS, and Constructionline accreditations, which together function as prerequisites for public-sector and enterprise tendering. Distribution is direct via the firm's two/three offices and senior-staff-led client engagement, supported by LinkedIn, Instagram, and a content/news section. The firm has cumulatively delivered 2,000 projects across 1,750 sites and 130 clients over 46 years. There is no technology platform, no disclosed revenue, no funding history, and no AI/ML capability in evidence; the offering is a traditional human-delivered consultancy.
