What WhiteleyEaves does

WhiteleyEaves Ltd is a UK-based, multi-disciplinary property and construction consultancy founded in 2018 and headquartered in Failsworth, Oldham, with a secondary office in Leeds. The firm delivers six integrated service lines — Architecture, Building Surveying, Quantity Surveying, Employer's Agent, Project Management, and Health and Safety (Principal Designer under CDM 2015) — across the full project lifecycle from inception to handover. It is RICS-regulated, CHAS-accredited, ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified, with both founding Directors holding certified membership of the Association for Project Safety. There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery relies on industry-standard tools (e.g., SketchUp, RICS methodologies) and the professional expertise of the two founding Directors — David Whiteley MRICS, FAPSS and James Eaves MRICS — who together contribute over 40 years of construction and property industry experience.

The firm operates a project-based, fee-for-service revenue model with services priced per-project through framework appointments (notably JV North's £500m Social Housing Framework and Innovation Chain North) or direct commissions. Customer segments are diverse and span social housing providers and housing associations (Great Places Housing Association, Leeds and Yorkshire Housing Association), local authorities (Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council), charitable and animal welfare organisations (RSPCA, Barnabus), private developers (Read Property Associates), and heritage/education (Wood Lane Hall) and property management clients (XYZ Property Management). Services are delivered across the North West and wider United Kingdom, with active social housing frameworks and supported living project deliveries (17-unit and 24-unit Stalybridge schemes) representing the most material recent workstreams.

Go-to-market is sales-led via direct engagement, framework panel appointments, and repeat/referral business from existing clients and professional networks. The firm markets modestly through its website blog, client testimonials, professional body affiliations (RICS, CHAS, ISO), and social media, without paid acquisition. Headcount is small (1-10 employees including two Directors) and ownership is concentrated with the founders, consistent with an independent, founder-led consultancy structure.

Professional Consultancy Services: WhiteleyEaves generates revenue through one-time project-based fees for professional consultancy services including architecture, building surveying, quantity surveying, employer's agent, project management, and health and safety (CDM/Principal Designer).
