Greyfriars Cost Management turns ONE: A year of impact across East Anglia
Today we celebrate the 1st Anniversary of Greyfriars Cost Management—and what a first year it’s been.
Founded by Tim Boucher (MRICS) & Jon Barnard (MAPM), Greyfriars Cost Management set out with a simple promise: clarity, value and no surprises. From day one, we’ve combined rigorous cost planning with the collaborative, people‑first approach that the construction sector deserves.
Year one by the numbers
- 18 projects started across East Anglia
- 14 separate clients partnering with us for cost management and quantity surveying
- A team of five—including a T‑Level, a Trainee and a Graduate Surveyor (with our Graduate QS joining in January)
- 3 supply chain events sponsored to support our regional ecosystem
- A LinkedIn community of 830 followers—and growing every week
These figures reflect a team that’s not just busy, but building repeatable value across Residential, Civic, Sports & Leisure, MOD and Community projects.
Milestones worth raising a glass to
From our opening event to new appointments, the last twelve months have been punctuated by moments that matter. We kicked off with an opening party that brought clients, partners and friends together to mark the start of the journey.
That early energy translated into delivery: highlights include our appointment on Sloughbottom Park—a community‑focused scheme that embodies our commitment to cost certainty and public value.
We also leaned into the region’s collaborative spirit by sponsoring industry events—because great projects come from strong supply chains and shared best practice.
Proud to be RICS Regulated
Quality isn’t a slogan—it’s a system. We’re proud to be RICS regulated, delivering services in line with the latest professional standards and guidance.
This accreditation underpins everything we do, from cost modelling and procurement to value‑for‑money analysis and monitoring. It’s one of the reasons clients trust us to safeguard budgets and outcomes.
Looking ahead to 2026
The pipeline for next year is already looking positive. In a market where certainty is rare, we’ll continue to deliver transparent reporting, robust cost control, and collaborative delivery—the foundations clients need to move with confidence
