Greenway Associates Ltd

What Greenway Associates Ltd does

Greenway Associates Ltd is a London-based quantity surveying and project management consultancy founded in 1993, operating with 11–50 staff across the UK, North America, the Middle East, and continental Europe. The firm specializes in four verticals: hospitality (hotels, restaurants, bars, members' clubs), cultural institutions (museums, galleries, exhibitions), heritage and Grade I/II listed buildings, and high-end retail and residential fit-out. Named clients include Firmdale Hotels, Caprice Holdings, Artfarm, Ennismore/Hoxton, the Barbican Centre, the V&A, the British Museum, the Grand Egyptian Museum, and the City of London. The firm emphasizes director-led delivery, RICS accreditation, and specialist expertise in FF&E cost planning and Middle East procurement practices.

The firm's services span the full project lifecycle: feasibility and masterplan budgeting, cost planning, procurement and contract strategy, contract administration, employer's agent/owners representative, principal designer, bills of quantity, MEP and sustainability strategy, and post-contract cost control. A proprietary Exhibition Inflation Calculator addresses the inadequacy of standard benchmarking for international museum and cultural projects. Pricing is project-specific and quote-based; the firm secures work through competitive tenders for public sector and major private projects, and through long-term relationships for repeat hospitality clients. There is no public pricing structure, no disclosed revenue, and no external investment — the business is founder/owner-managed.

Greenway Associates distributes expertise through a content marketing channel (GA Journal), industry events (Independent Hotel Show, International Museum Construction Congress), and earned media (RICS Modus, Museums + Heritage Awards). Operational geographies span the UK, USA, Germany, Japan, and the Middle East including Oman, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. The firm has secured multiple industry awards in 2024–2026 and won a £191m five-year Cost Consultant role on the Barbican Renewal Programme in 2025, representing the largest contract in the Barbican Centre's history since 1982.
