Independent estates consultancy, building surveying and project delivery
AltMarkt helps schools, academy trusts, healthcare organisations and public sector bodies understand their estates, make informed property decisions and move projects forward with clear, practical support.

Helping you make confident estate decisions at every stage
Clients often come to AltMarkt with a problem rather than a defined service requirement. A building may be failing, funding may be available, a project may need control, or an estate may need a clearer long-term plan.
Our services connect strategy, technical evidence, funding, sustainability, design and delivery. That means clients can understand what needs to happen, why it matters and which route will provide the strongest outcome.

CONNECTED SERVICES
How AltMarkt supports estate projects
Estate challenges rarely fit neatly into one service area. A condition survey may identify investment priorities. An estate strategy may lead to a funding application. A funding application may require architectural design. A design project may progress into project delivery and contract administration.
Because our services are connected, clients can access the right support at each stage of the estate decision journey, from early evidence and planning through to delivery and long-term improvement.
WHERE TO START
Not sure which service you need?
Many estate challenges cut across several areas. A condition issue may affect funding. A sustainability priority may need a wider strategy. A project may need design input before it can be delivered safely and confidently.
AltMarkt helps clients define the problem first, then identify the right combination of advice, evidence and project support.
HOW WE WORK
Independent support that becomes part of the client team
AltMarkt works as an extension of the client team, bringing independent technical and strategic estate expertise without adding unnecessary complexity. Our role is to make decisions clearer, risks more visible and next steps easier to act on.
Whether the priority is estate strategy, capital funding, building condition, decarbonisation, architectural design or project delivery, our focus remains practical: helping clients understand the evidence, choose the right route and deliver improvement with confidence.

FAQ
Services FAQs
Which AltMarkt service do we need?
Many clients start with a problem rather than a defined service requirement. AltMarkt helps clarify the issue first, then identifies the right combination of estate strategy, building surveying, funding, design or project delivery support.
What if our estate issue does not fit neatly into one service?
Many estate challenges involve several connected issues, such as building condition, funding, design, sustainability and delivery. AltMarkt helps clients define the problem first, then identify the right combination of services to support the next step.
Can AltMarkt help before a project brief is fully defined?
Yes. Early-stage support is often where independent advice adds the most value. We can help review estate evidence, test options, clarify priorities and shape a realistic brief before clients commit to a project route.
Can services be combined on the same project?
Yes. A project may require building surveying, funding advice, architectural design, project management and contract administration at different stages. AltMarkt can provide joined-up support so advice, planning and delivery remain connected.
When should we involve AltMarkt?
It is often useful to involve AltMarkt as soon as a potential estate issue, funding opportunity or project need is identified. Early advice can help avoid wasted work, unclear priorities and decisions that are not fully supported by evidence.
