How can Naismiths help construction firms to transform their businesses?

We are particularly skilled in helping legacy, or generational, businesses with a strong reputation for the quality of their work that have grown in size but need to update their management systems.

We can relieve the pressures of the day-to-day operation by advising on their profit and loss budgets, break-even analysis, job-costing systems, ensuring sufficient margins to cover overheads and managing credit lines and debt to enable their continued growth.

Construction firms win work through competitive tendering – we know the software and systems that could be tailored to their businesses to help them tender accurately and consistently. Integrating modern monitoring processes can help firms to reflect, adapt and repeat.

How do Naismiths deal with insolvency and distressed developments?

We support insolvency practitioners appointed as administrators to deal with businesses and organisations in a distressed situation through a legal process. Our services will help them decide if the company can be rescued

The sooner we are involved, the more options there are before businesses deeply in distress have to deal with winding up petitions for not paying their suppliers, or face potential liquidation. Finding the most suitable, pain-free solutions could help them continue to trade under administration.

Our experts also provide essential hands-on commercial advice and expert insight on business restructuring to safeguard against any future problems.

What our clients say

At Naismiths, we recognise how important it is to hear directly from our clients. Testimonials play a vital role in the work we deliver and reinforce the trust we build with every project. By sharing their experiences, our clients help us maintain the highest standards whilst supporting the continued growth and long-term success of our business.

Whilst the ability to pick up the phone and speak directly to the member of the team involved with the deal is highly beneficial, it is the breadth of knowledge and experience that makes Naismiths one of our top panel surveyors.
