Fitzsimons have successfully delivered one, if not the smoothest development programmes we have ever completed. The project consisted of a previous school, partially listed, riddled with dry rot that they converted into 17 fantastic apartments. The site was on a very tight site, with a steep slope on one side and on a busy road on the other, which made logistics and programming very difficult. We have not known Fitzsimons for long but we have already started our next scheme with them and will continue to do so in the future.

Working with Fitzsimons is a breath of fresh air. Their attention to detail and drive to leave no stone unturned is invaluable. In the hotel sector where room multiples mean small differences add up to meaningful sums, we have found their services genuinely add value to our projects, which is a rare commodity.

Alan and his team comprise of all of the things any real estate developer and investor looks for in a firm to partner with - a sense of urgency, creativity and flexibility, high quality input and most importantly, results. I cannot speak more highly of a firm that we've worked with in our 40 years of business. Fitzsimons were fantastic in the way they managed to solve problems even though it may not be directly related to their scope but they are focused on the overall project goals.

Having worked with Fitzsimons now over a number of years on various projects in their capacity as Project and Cost Managers, I have the utmost confidence in their capabilities and ability to approach the project as the Clients Representative. Fitzsimons explore the costs and sequencing associated with a project in great detail and generate real momentum and direction when value engineering is required, ensuring the balance between cost and added value. For me having senior personnel on the project from start to finish is key to a successful delivery, ensuring diligent controlling of the project team and liaising with statutory bodies, brands and funds alike.

I was introduced to Fitzsimons (and Alan Garrick) in 2015 when looking to deliver a new museum project in London. Alan helped tremendously with the project (which he eventually helped us to realise in New York City). I was immediately impressed with the work ethic and ownership of all issues - both as the project was delivered, and afterwards. Alan is an absolute pleasure to work with and has that rare ability to make teams feel good, even as he holds them to higher standards or lower costs. As a result, I have continued to work with them on a range of other projects due to the strength of the relationship.

We have worked with Fitzsimons on a number of insurance claims where they have acted as the project managers and cost controllers. They performed in a very professional manner and delivered the reinstatement work to the satisfaction of both insurers and the insured. We have also worked with Fitzsimons on specialist projects which required careful consideration to specification control and onward impact to programme and business interruption costs. We are very happy to endorse Fitzsimons and would be delighted to work with them again.

Kennedy Wilson hired Fitzsimons as Project & Cost Managers and Principal Designers for a series of recent [capital expenditure/improvement] projects at the Fairmont St Andrews hotel. We found Fitzsimons to be consistently diligent, organized, accurate, and cost-conscious on each project. Read more...

I never ceased to be amazed at the speed at which Greig of Fitzsimons dealt with matters and responded accordingly, even over the weekends. Fitzsimons are always helpful and did whatever they can to ensure we received as much help as possible. Fitzsimons were fantastic in the way they managed to solve problems even though it may not be directly related to their scope but they are focused on the overall project goals.

We first worked with Fitzsimons during the floods in 2007. Since then Fitzsimons has been involved in a number of projects for us mainly where there is a significant element of business interruption at risk. We have been impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail as have our customers. As a result of their involvement and their customer focus our customers have been delighted with the way that their claim has been dealt with often back in their properties earlier than expected or not even had to move out at all. We are certainly looking forward to a growing relationship with you.

Having worked with Fitzsimons in Project Management and QS roles both on commercial and residential schemes, I would highly recommend them for any capital development projects. I have found them to be equally proactive as Project Managers and Quantity Surveyors on projects from £100k selective refurbishments up to £50m new-build development. Fitzsimons strengths begin as follows: PM skills, ability to follow the brief, assimilate and take forward our requirements, liaise with ourselves and other consultants and drive the projects forward as per agreed programme. QS: Sensible provisional budgeting, pro-active negotiation, cost management and controls.

Alan is unusually clear thinking and decisive. His clarity of thought and a “don’t mess about” attitude are extraordinary, exactly what one wants in a project manager. We hired Alan against competition from a much larger firm and all of its substantial resources. We would go out of our way to work with him again Fitzsimons strengths begin as follows: PM skills, ability to follow the brief, assimilate and take forward our requirements, liaise with ourselves and other consultants and drive the projects forward as per agreed programme.
