What Earl Kendrick does

Earl Kendrick is a UK-based multi-disciplinary construction consultancy established in 2010, operating from five offices (London, Manchester, Birmingham, Brighton and a West region office covering Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter and Torquay). The firm delivers 21 service lines across the building lifecycle, including building surveys, dilapidations, insurance surveying, structural and MEP engineering, project and cost management, development monitoring, heritage repair, interior and architectural design, drone and thermal surveys, energy solutions, and Major Works / Section 20 consultancy. It serves B2B clients across 13 named sectors (arts and culture, commercial, education, healthcare, heritage, hotels, housing, infrastructure, leasehold, leisure, logistics, later living, and student accommodation), with named engagements including cladding remediation work with Glide PM and residential projects for Encore (Berkley Homes).

The technical layer comprises sensing and visualisation tooling rather than proprietary software: drone surveys, thermal imaging, 3D modelling, leak tracing, time-lapse photography, and structured data capture. Service delivery is staffed by chartered surveyors and structural engineers holding RICS, iStructE and TPI accreditations, and the firm has built dedicated Building Safety Act & Fire Services and Energy Solutions practices to address post-Grenfell remediation and decarbonisation regulatory demand.

The business model is professional services project-based fee work, with no platform or subscription revenue disclosed and no external funding or parent company. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; instruction volume is stated at 7,000+ completed over the past five years. The firm positions as a multi-disciplinary single-source advisor covering surveying, engineering, project leadership, and increasingly compliance-driven retrofit and fire safety work.
