We are different
Exceeding Expectations. Enhancing Value.

Our long-term partnership approach and personal, hands-on support provides clients with measured, high-quality, professional advice which adds significant value to construction projects.

As a multi award-winning, independent property and construction consultancy, we operate in a wide range of business areas but have specialist experience in the heritage & conservation, health & care, leisure & hotels, and industrial manufacturing sectors. A much-valued USP is our ability to deliver a project whilst keeping a facility operational, whether it’s a care home, cathedral or factory. Based in Manchester but operating all over the UK, recent projects have seen us in Liverpool, Scotland, Leeds, London and even in Europe. We lead, manage and support property and construction projects of all sizes generating demonstratable benefits and ROI for our clients and project teams.

With a track record of twenty years as one of Manchester’s most reliable property and construction consultancies, our hard-earned reputation is founded upon a strong quantity surveying background in cost and development management, project delivery and providing whole portfolio advice. We work very closely with our clients, becoming an integral part of their own project team to deliver great projects while always maintaining the commercial reality of the scheme. 

What we offer are our skills and expertise. But what our clients buy is our reliability, positive approach and commitment to achieving the very best for them in all aspects of property construction consultancy.

TESTIMONIALS

Dooleys acted as our cost consultant and client’s agent in delivering our Beaumont Hotel in Mayfair opposite Grosvenor Estates. They professionally and diligently worked on our behalf to create a favourable outcome for the project by de-risking the process for us.

Jeremy Corbin, Corbin & King

Manchester Cathedral has embarked on a Development programme, it is one of the largest building interventions in our history which is planned to coincide with our 600-year anniversary in 2021. Without the professional support of Dooleys, our new organ project would not have been delivered.

Anthony O’Connor, Director of Fundraising and Development, Manchester Cathedral

Working with Dooleys on Broughton House project has been a pleasure. As a charitable trust, we need to be sensitive to cost but also provide the best possible facility for our veterans. Dooleys has supported us, as a non-construction client, not only in developing this project but also supporting our decision-making into the future growth of the Trust’s facilities.
