The COLE Practice

Managing Director, BSc (Hons), MRICS, MIOD
Rob’s career in Cost and Project Management spans over 30 years across private practice and contracting organisations, during which he has developed a deep and practical understanding of all aspects of the discipline. He is committed to the maximisation of clients’ interests and to the consistent delivery of high-quality outcomes.
Under Rob’s leadership, COLE operates as a senior-led professional practice supported by a depth of cost management and project delivery expertise. The practice is structured to suit each commission, drawing on a broad mix of skills and experience to provide continuity, flexibility, and specialist input as required. Collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and long-term client support sit at the core of how the practice operates.
We’re privileged to have worked with visionary clients, alongside some of the foremost professionals in the construction industry, to deliver outstanding projects that we can all be proud of – we all know that our success is, in no small part, down to them. It’s not all about us: its all about the team.
Our philosophy removes any sort of destructive and disruptive blame culture and that, instead, unites all delivery partners through common goals, common understanding and a common awareness of the value drivers within the project. In the words of Sir Richard Branson, “everybody stands to gain if we work together.”
