HUME Commercial & Planning Solutions

What HUME Commercial & Planning Solutions does

HUME Commercial & Planning Solutions is a privately-held construction consultancy founded in 2017 and headquartered in London (UK & Europe) and Dubai (Middle East & Asia). The firm provides professional services across five integrated lines: Planning & Project Controls, Claims & Delay Support, Commercial Services, MEP Specialist Services, and Peer Reviews, delivered by a team of quantity surveyers, commercial managers, MEP specialists, contracts and claims professionals, cost planners, and forensic planning specialists. Its customer base spans main contractors, project management consultants, MEP trade contractors, developers, hyperscalers, financial institutions, and government bodies across the UK, Belgium, Finland, Kazakhstan, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, and Hong Kong. Marquee engagements include Google's data-centre rollout in Belgium and Finland and the Google HQ at Kings Cross, Bloomberg's London HQ (RIBA 2018 Stirling Prize winner), Mubadala's Sowwah Square and Al Maryah Island, ALDAR's Central Market and Abu Dhabi HQ, Global Switch's tier-3 refurbishments, and the UK Houses of Parliament £4bn restoration programme.

The firm differentiates through deep mechanical and electrical engineering (MEP) commercial and planning expertise — a niche within broader construction QS and project-controls consulting — supported by a senior bench whose two partner-directors carry formal qualifications and 20+ years of major-project experience. Revenue is generated through project-based consultancy engagements on a quote-driven basis, with no disclosed pricing or productised offerings; marketing is conducted via company website, LinkedIn, and active hiring rather than paid channels. Ownership is founder-managed with no external institutional investment evidenced.

Broad incumbents

• Arcadis: Global design, engineering and consultancy firm with large project management and cost management practices; competes for the same mega-project commercial and planning engagements HUME targets.
• AECOM: Global infrastructure consultancy providing program, project and construction management services including cost consultancy; a broad incumbent competing for the same mega-project mandates.
• Mace Group: Global construction and consultancy firm with significant project and commercial management consultancy arm serving main contractors and developers; a listed HUME client but also a competitor for the same services.

Direct peers

• Turner & Townsend: Global cost management and project controls consultancy offering quantity surveying, commercial management, planning and claims services across construction and infrastructure — directly comparable core service mix to HUME, but at much greater scale.
• Rider Levett Bucknall: Global cost consultancy and project management firm providing quantity surveying, cost management and advisory services to construction clients — directly overlapping HUME's commercial and project controls service lines.
• Currie & Brown: International cost management and quantity surveying consultancy focused on construction and built environment projects; closest direct peer in terms of pure QS/commercial management DNA and boutique positioning.
• Linesight: International construction consultancy specializing in cost management, project controls and specialist services for data centres, commercial and residential sectors — strong overlap with HUME's MEP and mega-project profile.

Emerging players

• Exigere: Independent claims, delay analysis and dispute resolution consultancy serving construction clients — directly comparable to HUME's forensic planning and claims service line.
• Blackbird Project Management: Mid-sized UK-headquartered independent project management and cost consultancy serving commercial, residential and hospitality clients — similar boutique positioning to HUME on commercial and planning services.

Others

• Trowers & Hamlins (Projects team): International law firm with construction and projects advisory practice providing claims, quantum and delay expertise — adjacent competitor for HUME's dispute and claims services, but legally rather than consultancy-led.
