About RB Consult

An Industry Built On Overpromising.
One Person Built To Stand Against It.

Richard BridgmanFounder & Director

Most people take on a major build or renovation once in a lifetime — against an industry with a reputation for escalating costs, missed deadlines, and contractors who promise more than they ever deliver.

Richard Bridgman founded RB Consult to put an experienced, independent eye on the client's side of that equation. With over 20 years of senior leadership experience, he delivers full P&L accountability, strategic oversight, and discreet representation for clients undertaking new-build homes, heritage refurbishments, and complex high-end residential schemes.

RB Consult operates with a deliberately limited client roster. This ensures every engagement receives Richard's direct, uncompromised attention — from initial brief through to handover.
