This expansion responds to the evolving complexities of today’s built environment, driven by unprecedented investment in infrastructure, real estate, and sustainable urban developments.
The demand for strategic cost consultancy has increased due to shifting regulatory landscapes and the growing prioritization of sustainability.

Egis’ Cost Management services will provide clients with unparalleled value by integrating commercial insight with its multidisciplinary expertise.
To lead this initiative, Egis has appointed Simon Trafford as Regional Director for Cost Consultancy. With over 35 years of experience in cost consultancy services, Trafford has played a pivotal role in shaping the financial frameworks of some of the world’s most ambitious developments.
“I am delighted to be joining this dynamic and rapidly expanding business,” said Simon Trafford, Regional Director for Cost Consultancy, Egis. “The acceleration of development across the market means placing greater emphasis on cost predictability, value engineering, and commercial efficiency.
