Egis launches cost consultancy service
The new division will ensure clients benefit from a seamless, end-to-end consultancy offering
Egis has announced the launch of its cost management services across the Middle East and South Asia – an expansion that responds directly to the evolving complexities of today’s built environment.
With the current market seeing unprecedented levels of investment in infrastructure, real estate and sustainable development, the demand for strategic cost consultancy has never been greater, the firm said.
Egis’ commitment to cost consultancy was leveraged by its acquisition of Thomas & Adamson, a UK-based cost management firm with a legacy of excellence dating back to 1935. This move significantly strengthened Egis’ advisory capabilities, enabling a robust cost management function that aligns seamlessly with client needs in the Middle East and South Asia and firmly embeds cost consultancy within the firm’s overall multidisciplinary remit, it added.
To lead the initiative, Egis has appointed Simon Trafford, an industry veteran with over 35 years of experience, as the Regional Director for Cost Consultancy. He has played a pivotal role in shaping the financial frameworks of some of the world’s most ambitious and transformative developments, with a distinguished portfolio and deep understanding of regional dynamics, financial governance and cost optimisation.
Commenting on his new role, Trafford said, “I am delighted to be joining this dynamic and rapidly expanding business. This is an exciting time to be part of Egis and contribute to their transformational journey. The acceleration of development across the market means placing greater emphasis on cost predictability, value engineering and commercial efficiency. Through our integrated delivery model, and by building on the legacy and expertise from the recent Thomas & Adamson acquisition, Egis is now uniquely positioned to tackle these challenges, delivering sustainable, future-ready cities and developments.”
Egis believes that the new division will ensure clients benefit from a seamless, end-to-end consultancy offering, where cost consultancy forms a cornerstone in realising ambitious masterplans, giga-projects, and critical national infrastructure.
