Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB) is excited to announce key leadership appointments in the Perth office, effective 1 April.

These changes reinforce the firm’s unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation and delivering exceptional value to clients and communities.

With over 20 years of expertise in cost planning, contract administration and risk management, Adam Robinson has been appointed managing director.

RLB provided cost management and quantity surveying services for this landmark heritage transformation, which was recognised with the 2017 PCA/RLB WA Development of the Year award and revitalised a group of century-old civic buildings into a vibrant cultural, retail and hospitality precinct.
