What Gradient Consultants Is All About
Gradient Consultants are Chartered Building Surveyors and Property Consultants who support clients through everything from one-off building projects to managing entire property portfolios. With a client base spanning Sussex and London, their expert advice and personal approach help clients make the best choices at every step of their projects. They’re not just about buildings—they’re about the people who live and work in them, ensuring properties function perfectly for their users.
The Main Benefit of Choosing Gradient Consultants
Here’s what sets Gradient Consultants apart:
- Award-winning and fresh-thinking Chartered Building Surveyors and Property Consultants
- Expertise gained from big-name practices combined with the personal service of a small, friendly, flexible company
- Wide and specialised range of services covering building surveying, asbestos management, principle designers, compliance management, project management, affordable homes, renovation, refurbishment, and building management
- Regulated by RICS (Registration No. 037190) and registered as a Limited Company in England and Wales (No. 5966648)
- Serving clients from private residential properties to public sector bodies like The Environment Agency, Alexandra Palace, and London Fire Brigade
The Story Behind Gradient Consultants
Gradient was born in 2003 from the shared vision of directors Clare Armstrong and Richard Garland. They believed a firm could offer the expertise of a large London practice but with a personal touch and strong client relationships. The ethos was developed over many coffee meetings at the original Bills in Lewes, founded on the idea that there’s a better, friendlier way to do business in this sector. Since then, the firm has grown into an award-winning team delivering that original vision every day.
Where Gradient Consultants Work
With their head office in Eastbourne, Gradient Consultants’ work spans Sussex, Kent, and London. They handle projects big and small—from surveys of residential properties in the Sussex countryside to complex work with public sector bodies navigating property legislation. Their client list includes many Prime Central London properties, some with celebrity owners, showing the trust and reputation they’ve built over time.
Services That Make a Difference
Gradient Consultants don’t just focus on buildings—they focus on people. Their services help clients understand, manage, and improve their properties with a personal approach. Whether it’s managing asbestos, ensuring compliance, or overseeing refurbishment projects, their expertise covers all bases. This holistic approach means buildings aren’t just structures; they’re spaces that work for the people inside them.
Project Impact and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities – by improving building management and affordable homes
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure – through expert project management and refurbishment
- SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being – via asbestos management and safe building practices
- SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth – supporting diverse clients and property sectors
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production – promoting compliance and sustainable building solutions
Why Gradient’s Approach Stands Out
Gradient Consultants combine the best of both worlds: the expertise of large, established practices with the warmth and flexibility of a small firm. Their personal service means clients aren’t just another project number—they’re partners in a journey. This approach has earned them a reputation for being approachable, knowledgeable, and reliable, making complex property challenges feel manageable and even straightforward.
