Our Story
Get to know us a little better...
We're on an exciting journey and always looking to build new relationships along the way
Redefining the way people and technology come together
Creating solutions that change the world we work in
CappKind is an established construction consultancy and regulated by RICS. Our experienced team of quantity surveyors, project managers, project controls experts and contract specialists consistently deliver positive outcomes for our clients.
By combining this capability with our in-house team of software developers and data specialists, we are transforming the way our clients deliver their capital projects and programmes.
Our history
CappKind was incorporated in 2015 when the three founders, all with large consultancy backgrounds, came together to create a new type of construction consultancy. By combining the industry’s best talent and a relentless focus on quality with cutting edge software and data analytics, there was opportunity to provide construction stakeholders with something better.
We initially focused on the benefits being brought to construction and asset management by BIM technology. However, we quickly realised that our greatest strengths lay in developing our own software and digital solutions to support how we deliver more traditional project services, which remain essential to our industry.
It was our diverse capability and innovative consultancy approach that helped us secure our largest appointment to date at the end of 2018 – a four-year framework as sole commercial services provider to Yorkshire Water’s capital programme. Working with this incredible client, always receptive to new ideas, provided opportunity for accelerated growth and enabled us to pioneer numerous new services. It culminated in us being named Yorkshire SME of the Year by Constructing Excellence.
The continuing success of our digital services enabled us to create a new CappKind Software business unit in 2022 and launch our first SaaS product – ProjectDeck.
We continue to develop our CappKind Consulting proposition too – responding to a need from our clients for skilled resources to augment their internal teams, we now provide a Flexible Resourcing service alongside our managed service offering.
Our purpose
Our vision is to create solutions that change the world we work in.
We promise to drive success in our clients’ capital projects by deploying talented people and a process-oriented approach, enhanced with professional software solutions to create sustainability in knowledge and industry.
We believe in entrepreneurship, collaboration and progression. This means working together to continually seek new and better ways of working for the benefit of our clients, our people and our business.
In doing this, we are engaging and team-spirited – we communicate, we understand and we enjoy working as a team. We are always positive, focusing on the possibilities of what we can achieve. And we are bold and brave, actively supporting each other to step outside our comfort zone.
A comprehensive service model for construction clients, contractors and consultants
Our people are our greatest asset
We are a family of passionate professionals, committed to ‘how we deliver’ just as much as ‘what we deliver’. We value character and behaviors alongside capability and experience, always tackling problems together and sharing in our collective successes.
