Bloom Building Consultancy

Our industry is fast-moving and unforgiving, but Josh Ward-Jones’ agile and pragmatic approach has been the bedrock of our capital programmes for many years. We trust him to handle several critical functions for us – from dilapidation matters to contract administration and technical due diligence – and he has earned his reputation as a reliable, strategic partner you can count on.

Gareth Belsham has long been a trusted Project Director, Contract Administrator and Employer’s Agent for Aitch Group. Gareth’s energy and expertise are highly respected and valued, especially as we rely on him to guide us through often complex contractual challenges and to proactively lead our professional teams to deliver successful outcomes. We look forward to working with him at Bloom.

Gareth’s due diligence and project management expertise has been part of our successful expansion across the Midlands and beyond. He is a consummate professional and has provided authoritative advice during both pre-development and construction phases, which has helped us navigate some challenging circumstances and complete a number of successful deals. Our relationship with Bloom is built on trust, mutual respect and exceptional results.

Our clients require accurate, clear and timely advice to make informed property decisions, and this is exactly what Charlotte Whincup provided for us as we helped a law firm to relocate its London office. Even though the time pressures were acute and the financial stakes high, Charlotte’s thorough dilapidations audit and technical due diligence were decisive. A challenging job, spectacularly well done – and we look forward to working with the Bloom team on many more projects in future.

I’m proud to have been working with Bloom ever since they launched. When selecting a specialist consultant to partner with, for me the choice comes down to more than just whether they have the necessary technical skills. It’s also about trust and reliable, direct relationships – and this is what sets Josh, Charlotte and Gareth apart from the larger corporate firms.

As a specialist real estate insolvency practitioner, I am frequently called upon where developments are on the edge of the abyss and require significant, detailed input to turn around. At times like these, I regularly reach out to Gareth Belsham, whose distressed asset expertise within the sector is matched only by his straight talking. Over the years, Gareth has proved himself to be a problem-solver par excellence, able to triage and unravel seemingly intractable issues, either turning the project around, reprocuring a build-out or de-risking a disposal to minimise losses for lenders and developers.

Principle works with people, not just properties. That’s why Bloom’s personable, pragmatic and intelligent approach makes them a perfect fit for us. In a crowded field of surveyors and consultants, Bloom’s team stands out for its human touch – and we rely on them to support our property managers with timely, easily understandable building surveying expertise.

Josh plays a critical role in our property works programme, and is a trusted partner who works seamlessly with our team. His building surveying skills and expert project management have helped us to successfully navigate several complex refurbishment projects. From leading the design team to problem solving and driving delivery, his input is consistently outstanding.
