Further demonstrating its expertise in the commercial sector, the Newcastle office of international project management and cost consultants Faithful+Gould has recently completed work on a £1.9m project in South Tyneside.

Appointed by City & Northern Projects, Faithful+Gould acted as quantity surveyor for the scheme which comprised nine new build, light industrial units and associated infrastructure and external works at the Simonside East Industrial Estate in South Tyneside.

The Faithful+Gould team was involved in all aspects of the project’s financial management from the preparation of initial estimates to the agreement of the final account, including the preparation of contract documents and ongoing cost management.

Sean McKeon, associate director at Faithful+Gould’s Newcastle office said:

”Faithful+Gould is well placed to work on this scheme, having worked with a number of customers across the country in delivering similar light industrial facilities and starter unit type accommodation for a range of clients and end users.

“We are currently involved in a variety of regeneration schemes such as this across the North-East, which are aimed at building on and improving the area’s employment opportunities, and attracting more business to the region. As an organisation with local offices, this is key to our long term strategic business goals.”

Throughout the project, Faithful+Gould worked closely with architects, Ian Belsham Associates and contractor, P Whelan Ltd.

Elliott Ward, managing director, at City & Northern Projects added:

“This is the first phase of the redevelopment of a number of reclaimed brownfield sites at Simonside East facilitated by One NorthEast and driven by us.

“Having never worked with Faithful+Gould before we were impressed with the role they played on the successful delivery of this project.”
