Franklin + Andrews enjoys repeat success at industry awards
Franklin + Andrews, Mott MacDonald’s specialist programme and commercial management business, has been named Quantity Surveyor of the Year at the 2012 Construction News Awards, held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on 10 July 2012. This is the second consecutive year that the consultancy has been successful in this category at the prestigious industry awards, up against strong competition from other top quantity surveying firms.
Judges for the awards stated that Franklin + Andrews gave an absolutely outstanding presentation supported by strong evidence and facts, scored exceptionally high against the award criteria and is a company which is at the forefront of innovation in their sector.
Franklin + Andrews is one of the world’s leading cost consultants working across the construction industry on major projects for some of the biggest clients in the world. Recent projects include providing project and programme controls and commercial management services to BAA Heathrow on their annual £150 million infrastructure programme, project and cost management services for a new Google office in London and cost consultancy services on the proposed new National Indoor Sports Arena and Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome which will be one of the main venues for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
The consultancy is also a key exponent of sustainability and has developed unique methodologies such as CapIT, an industry-first online cost and carbon estimating solution and LifeCYCLE, a whole-life cost and carbon modelling tool which again is a first for the construction sector.
Chris Spearing, managing director of Franklin + Andrews, said: "It's fantastic to win this award for the second year running, which is great recognition for all our staff who work extremely hard to give our clients the best service we can.”
“Over the past year, Franklin + Andrews has continued to effectively deliver a sustainable, strong business performance despite the ongoing economic difficulties experienced in the construction industry, while making a real impact by pioneering the use of the LEAN process improvement methodology as well as Building Information Modelling,” he added.
