Jonathan Conway

Jonathan applies a dynamic approach to problem-solving and leading project teams to undertake complex refurbishments, technical due diligence, dilapidations and party wall matters.

As a keen endurance athlete, Jonathan’s determination and energy shines through in both his approach to projects and his relationships with clients – spanning landlords, institutional investors, college endowment funds, commercial occupiers and defence companies.

Jonathan’s recent and ongoing work with an international defence company requires clear communication channels and the utmost attention to detail in delivering modifications to test facilities and managing the pre-contract phase of a combined engineering and exhibition space; incorporating an augmented and virtual reality visualisation hub as well as a simulation area. This project has demanded a grasp of emerging technologies and specialist equipment, and an ability to navigate complex stakeholder structures whilst maintaining the necessary high level of confidentiality and security.

As well as leading multi-phase upgrades to key strategic city-centre offices such as St Andrew’s House, Cambridge, to attract incoming tenants, Jonathan also helps businesses exit properties with complex lease requirements, to achieve large savings on repair and reinstatement liabilities. For Dart Products and alongside our agency team, he negotiated a works package required to effect a surrender by leading a project team to carry out substantial repairs to their 200,000 sq ft warehouse accommodation, including the removal of 4,900 bolts from the floor, removing 2.5km of wire guidance and repairing 4km of ground aisle paths to meet the requirements of both the landlord and an incoming tenant.

Jonathan is RICS accredited.

"Thanks for your efforts managing quite a unique project with some challenging stakeholders. We certainly learnt a lot through the process which has greatly helped us as we gear towards the new building."

Felix Maitland Smith - Principal Project Engineer, Environmental Engineering & Facilities (EE&F) UK

"Jonathan was a critically important member of our team over several transactions. Because we are located in the States, we relied heavily on him as our 'boots on the ground.' His professionalism and thoughtful common sense approach ensured that all went smoothly. I highly recommend him and wouldn't hesitate to use him again in the future."
