Senior Building Surveyor

We are working with a growing multi-disciplinary consultancy, founded in 2003, that has built a strong reputation for quality and technical excellence. Their team includes chartered building surveyors, architects, engineers, designers and cost consultants—all in-house—allowing them to offer end-to-end services from master planning and early feasibility through to design, construction oversight, building maintenance and facilities management. 

Their key sectors are education (Nursery, Early Years, Primary, Secondary, SEN, Academies, Free Schools, Sixth Form) and residential (private / affordable housing, retrofit / refurbishment) projects. They have delivered numerous learning environment projects for schools, colleges, academy trusts, local authorities and dioceses. Sustainability is central to their design approach: they are committed to aligning with the latest specifications (e.g. DfE), pushing for Net Zero, energy-efficiency and social value.

• Leading condition & measured surveys, defect and feasibility studies, producing technical reports and specifications.

• Overseeing site inspections, ensuring compliance with regulations, safety, contract requirements.
• Managing projects through design, construction and close-out phases, liaising with clients, contractors, consultants.
