The Studio

We\’re working with a commercial fit‑out and delivery consultancy in Shoreditch that creates beautifully crafted spaces across retail, hospitality, and interiors. They care about the details.

Every project is delivered with intention, and they need someone who can protect both the design vision and the bottom line.

• Prepare detailed estimates, budgets, and cash flow forecasts
• Create and manage pricing templates, tender documents, and contracts

• Visit sites to monitor progress, costs, and quality
• Identify value engineering opportunities that enhance rather than dilute the design
• Develop consistent, transparent cost reporting across teams and clients
• Run tender exercises and prepare clear, insightful summary reports
• Reconcile final accounts and deliver accurate project costings
• Collaborate with clients, contractors, and consultants to keep everything aligned

What You Will Bring

• Confident communication skills, able to translate numbers into narratives clients understand
• Organised, hands‑on, and solutions‑focused, with a strong sense of ownership
• Experience across contractor and client‑side roles, ideally within retail, hospitality, or design‑led interiors
• Proven success delivering high‑end fit‑outs up to £5m
