Rex Procter & Partners

What Rex Procter & Partners does

Rex Procter & Partners (trading as RPP Group) is a UK-based, privately held construction consultancy founded in 1937 and headquartered in Leeds, with additional offices in London and Marlow. The firm operates as an RICS Chartered practice delivering professional services across the full project lifecycle, including quantity surveying and cost management, project management, building surveying, principal designer services under CDM 2015 and the Building Regulations Principal Designer role introduced by BRAE 2023, employer's agent and contract administration, health and safety consultancy, party wall surveying, monitoring surveying for lenders, masterplanning, development management, bills of quantities, asbestos consultancy, and drone-enabled building surveying. Service delivery is supported by conventional construction-sector technology: CAA-accredited drone hardware for 4K survey capture, Go Report electronic data capture software, Cato software for digital bills of quantities, and CAD/BIM measurement tools. Underlying technology is operational rather than productised — the firm sells professional advisory hours, not software. The firm reports an 87% repeat business rate, serves clients across 10+ sectors (education, healthcare, retail, industrial/logistics, offices, residential, hotels, heritage, infrastructure/transport, sport/leisure), and maintains four major public sector framework appointments (YORconsult3, Procure Partnerships, Pagabo, Innovation Chain North) alongside a portfolio of long-tenured enterprise clients including British Land, Morrisons (50+ years), Dixons Carphone (11 years), University of Leeds, Nuffield Health, Schneider Electric, and Dakota Hotels.

The business model is professional services: revenue is generated through project-based fees determined by scope, complexity, and duration, billed via multi-year contracts where applicable. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supplemented by thought-leadership content (quarterly newsletters, UKREiiF fringe events, CPD seminars), industry award participation, and a LinkedIn presence. The customer base is heavily weighted toward UK enterprise and public sector buyers, with distribution channelled through framework agreements that pre-qualify the firm for public sector tenders. The company is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors, parent, or subsidiaries, and operates under an Executive Board governance structure formed following the 2013 merger of the Leeds and Marlow offices.
