22 Bishopsgate cost consultant sees income jump a quarter in last 12 months

Alinea expects to be working on its first overseas project within a year as the growing cost consultant looks to break out of its UK market which last year saw business increase by a quarter.

The firm has already been sounded out by a number of signature architects about working on jobs abroad and founding partner Iain Parker admitted: “This time next year we’ll probably be working with a UK architect on an overseas job and it will most likely be a tower.

“We’ve had opportunities internationally before but we’ve turned them down. We feel now is the right time. A lot of tall buildings are designed in London, even if they sit elsewhere.”
