From bold beginnings in 2006 to becoming a trusted industry name, Quantem celebrates two decades of innovation, independence, and impact.
Twenty years ago, four quantity surveyors made a decision that would challenge the conventions of their industry. Leaving established consultancy Davis Langdon behind to become the original “spin-off”, they set out with a clear ambition: to build something different – a nimble, senior led independent cost consultancy that could rival the global giants.
At the time, the idea of a small, specialist start-up taking on well-established international firms was almost unheard of. But Quantem wasn’t built to follow the traditional path. It was created to question it.
Founded in 2006, Quantem quickly established itself as a fresh voice in the market, one that combined deep expertise with a more agile, client-focused approach. What began as a bold move by four individuals has grown into a respected consultancy, known for delivering intelligent, forward-thinking solutions across a diverse range of projects and sectors.
Over the past two decades, Quantem has grown from a bold start-up into a respected industry name, broadening its expertise and reach while maintaining a distinctly independent mindset. Quantem has supported everything from small refurbishments on our door step to major developments around the world and has a built a strong team up, many of whom have been with Quantem from the start.
“Reaching our 20th year is a proud moment for everyone involved in Quantem’s journey,” said Blake Turner, Founding Partner. “What started as a desire to do things differently has grown into a business that continues to challenge expectations. We’re incredibly grateful to our clients and partners who have trusted us along the way.”
Today, that founding ethos still shapes how Quantem works, combining experience with agility to deliver meaningful outcomes in a changing market and for clients navigating increasingly complex projects, that independent, agile approach has become more valuable than ever.
Looking ahead, the business is focused on building on that momentum: embracing new technologies, deepening client relationships, and continuing to carve out its own path in the industry.
From a bold idea to a lasting success story, Quantem’s journey is far from over. As Quantem enters its third decade, the team is keen to connect with clients and partners who share its ambition to challenge convention and deliver better outcomes.
