Newcastle surveying firm expands into national markets

A Newcastle-based building consultants are further extending their national footprint after being instructed on projects outside the region.

SIlverstone Building Consultancy, who operate a nice Building Surveying firm, have been instructed to project monitor works to a newly acquired factory in Southampton.

The project comes from Newton Aycliffe firm, Gestamp Tallent who are expanding their presence in Southampton due to new contracts with Vauxhall and Renault.

Gestamp Tallent specialise in the design and manufacture of chassis structural components for the automotive industry, including clients such as Volvo, Ford, Jaguar and Land Rover.

Silverstone’s latest instruction comes as a result of a long standing relationship with the company.

Richard Farrey, Director of Silverstone commented: ’We have been trusted advisors to Tallent on a variety of property related projects in recent years, most significantly project managing the construction of their new £8 million factory in Newton Aycliffe.

“Building solid client relationships with a smaller number of clients for the long term is part of our philosophy and our willingness to follow these clients nationally has brought us new opportunities outside the region’.

Elsewhere Silverstone has recently completed building surveys on a portfolio of properties throughout the South of England on behalf of another long term client, Dickinson Dees.

They have also received instructions on design and refurbishment projects in London, York, Wrexham and Wales.

David Land, UK Engineering Director at Gestamp Tallent added: ’Silverstone have proven to be a valued partner on a number of projects, providing specific help and guidance in enabling building works to be completed to budget and on time.

“Rather than appointing a firm in the Southampton area we would prefer to continue our successful relationship with Silverstone, who we know and trust.’
