Vitruvius Management Services Ltd

What Vitruvius Management Services Ltd does

Vitruvius Management Services Ltd is a UK-based project and construction management consultancy headquartered at Gloucester Business Park, Gloucestershire, founded in 2008 and led by founder and Managing Director Mark Price. The firm operates across four integrated service lines — Consultancy Services (construction adviser, masterplanning, CDM advisor), Project Management, Commercial Management (cost planning, quantity surveying, procurement and contract advice), and Construction Management (delivery planning, principal contractor, construction monitoring) — delivered end-to-end from strategic definition through to project handover.

The company's commercial model is professional services fee-for-engagement, with each mandate priced through competitive tender, direct negotiation, or framework agreement. Procurement channels include direct enterprise engagement, the NHS Shared Business Services framework (Project Management Lot 2 and Quantity Surveying Lot 4), and design-team or main-contractor tender processes. Pricing is bespoke by project scope, complexity, and duration; no public price list exists.

Vitruvius serves a concentrated enterprise and public-sector client base across South West England and selectively beyond, with primary verticals in education (Hartpury University and College, Greenwich University), manufacturing (Cotteswold Dairy, TDK Lambda), real estate development (Cityheart, Crest Nicholson), leisure (Anytime Fitness), and local government (Gloucester City Council, Gloucestershire Airport). Repeat engagements are a defining feature — notably a multi-project, multi-year Hartpury campus programme including a £12.75m Learning Hub and supporting facilities, and a long-running Cotteswold Dairy site masterplanning relationship dating to 2016. The firm distinguishes itself through a proprietary Construction Management approach (demonstrated by fast recovery of distressed projects), masterplanning that future-proofs built environments, and an unusually dense accreditation stack (CIOB, RICS, APM, ISO 9001/14001/45001, Cyber Essentials, SSIP, Investors in People Gold) that supports public-sector and regulated tender eligibility.
