Broad incumbents

• Knight Frank: Major UK chartered surveying firm with real estate advisory and consultancy offerings. Comparable in being RICS-regulated and serving banks, funders, and developers, though Knight Frank operates at significantly larger scale across all property sectors.
• AECOM: Global infrastructure and construction consultancy offering program management, cost consultancy, and advisory services. Comparable as an independent construction advisor serving healthcare and large developer clients, though at vastly greater scale and broader scope.
• Arcadis: Global design, engineering, and consultancy firm providing project management and cost advisory services. Overlaps with ECY's independent advisory service lines, particularly in healthcare and public-sector development projects in the UK.
• Cushman & Wakefield: Global real estate services firm with project management and development monitoring capabilities. Comparable as a chartered-surveyor-equivalent advisor serving financial institution clients, though with broader sector coverage and much greater scale than ECY.
• Rider Levett Bucknall: Global quantity surveying and construction consultancy providing cost advisory and project monitoring. Overlaps with ECY's core QS and development monitoring offerings, with established presence in UK healthcare and residential sectors.
• Gleeds: International construction consultancy with strong quantity surveying and project management offerings. Directly comparable to ECY's PM/EA/QS and development monitoring service lines, with established UK healthcare sector coverage and RICS-regulated surveyors.
• Currie & Brown: UK-headquartered construction consultancy offering cost management, project management, and due-diligence services. Closely comparable to ECY's Development Monitoring and PM/EA/QS service lines, with overlapping healthcare and developer client bases.
• Turner & Townsend: Global construction consultancy providing cost management, project management, and independent monitoring services. Comparable to ECY as a chartered-surveyor-led advisor, but operating across all sectors and at much larger scale, providing direct competition for large care home mandates.

Regional players
