Max Redmill
Commercial Consultant
A Commercial Manager with over 15 years' experience delivering residential and commercial construction projects for some of the UK's leading main contractors. Throughout my career, I've been responsible for managing project costs, procurement, contracts, valuations, variations and commercial risk on projects worth millions of pounds.
This allows me to bring that same level of commercial expertise directly to homeowners, subcontractors & property developers. Construction is often one of the largest financial commitments anyone will ever make, yet many clients undertake projects without independent commercial advice. My role is to help you make informed decisions, protect your investment and provide confidence at every stage of your project.
Whether you're reviewing quotations, preparing contracts, assessing additional costs or simply looking for independent commercial advice before work begins, I provide straightforward, impartial guidance with your interests at the centre of every recommendation.
My objective is simple: to help clients make better commercial decisions, reduce unnecessary costs and approach their building project with confidence.

FAQ's.........
Why should i have my quotations reviewed?
Any type of quotation can contain omissions, assumptions or unclear pricing that may lead to unexpected costs during construction. An independent commercial review provides reassurance that you understand exactly what is and isn't included before committing.
When Should i contact MR Cost Consulting?
The earlier the better. Whether you've just received planning permission, are obtaining builder quotations or are already on site, independent commercial advice can help reduce risk and support better decision-making throughout your project.
Do you only work with homeowners?
No. I provide commercial management and cost consultancy to homeowners, builders, subcontractors and property developers undertaking residential construction projects.
Do you prepare building contracts?
Yes. I can prepare and review building contracts, including JCT Home Owner Contracts, helping to ensure both parties clearly understand their obligations before work begins.
Can you review additional costs or variations during my project?
Absolutely. If your builder proposes additional works or unexpected costs, I can independently review the valuation and provide advice before you agree to any changes.
Do you provide ongoing commercial support?
Yes. I can provide support throughout your project, including payment advice, valuation reviews, commercial guidance and assistance with contractual matters from commencement through to completion.
Will reviewing my builders quotation save me money?
While every project is different and savings cannot be guaranteed, an independent commercial review can identify omissions, pricing anomalies, unclear allowances and potential risks before work begins. Many clients find that the reassurance and clarity provided are just as valuable as any financial savings.
